We love end of the year lists (see yesterday’s newsletter). So obviously we were excited (giddy) to dig into Apple’s Top Charts of 2019, aka a series of lists on the App Store that highlight the most downloaded apps this year. 👀
Many familiar apps topped the “free” chart, including YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Messenger, Gmail, Netflix, Facebook and Google Maps, Amazon, DoorDash, WhatsApp, FaceApp, Uber, YOLO, Hulu, Venmo, Bitmoji and Google Chrome.
Among the top paid apps sat
Facetune,
AutoSleep Track Sleep,
Touch Retouch,
Procreate Pocket,
Sky Guide,
Scanner Pro,
kirakira+,
Forest,
Camera+ 2,
WaterMinder and
Things 3, among others.
Apple also highlighted the app trend of the year, which was storytelling. These apps — things like
Anchor,
Wattpad,
Unfold (which Squarespace
recently bought),
Steller,
Canva and
Spark Camera — inspired people record their “memories, dreams, images and voices” more than ever before. 🗣
And of course we’d be remiss if we didn’t shout out the
app of the year, which one Product Hunt member described as an “instant buy.” 🙌
What do you call a more elegant Craigslist experience? Classy Craig. 👈
Rejoice, developers! Developing has now gone up to the cloud!
IDEs (Integrated Development Environment) are a must-have for developers. They make you care less about syntax and debugging, allowing you to concentrate on your code. IDEs have always been improving, bringing more and more functions to help you develop. However, there was always something missing throughout all these improvements. Accessibility. The absence of accessibility was always the 10% that was missing in all IDEs currently in the market.
So we bring to you goormIDE. goormIDE is the first, and only, IDE that has filled that 10%. We focused on the advantages of an online IDE. You can open, edit and save your work anytime and collaborate with your teammates from anywhere in the world. You don’t have to install packages (which is the most irritating step for beginners) and whatever the language or package you want to use or learn, we set them up in advance, just for you.
