I believe it just opens up a "web version" within the desktop app, but I could be wrong.

Still love the service, I don't have much use for "Offline" capability on my laptop/desktop - the mobile/tablet apps serve that need just fine.


The big plus of the desktop version is that it works with the media keys on your keyboard.


And exposes an API, too, I believe, that lets things like Alfred Workflows on my Mac also control from the keyboard and hotkeys.


Why aren't you happy with Mint.com?


A large number of their transactions are uncategorized. They have no way of importing bank statements...so If I joined in middle of the year, its not helpful. I have no way of projecting for future...it doesn't let me play with various scenarios and set goals accordingly. And finally, I hate it when they say "save for big purchase or vacation". They promote savings only as a way of selling more stuff to me.


Couldn't this be accomplished simply by creating apps that deal with contacts, photos, camera, etc. and then having users download and accept the permissions themselves.

For example, imagine that any one of the contact or calendar management apps where you "Allow xxxxx to access your contacts" was produced by the NSA under the guise of an innovative startup.


Not quite: for example, iOS doesn't allow apps to access the SMS database.

In light of recent leaks, it's still pretty obvious: think a repackaging of OTA jailbreaks (like jailbreakme from the iPhone OS 3 era) plus Foxacid.

You could make jailbreakme not display a dialog or install Cydia, and the user wouldn't notice anything except their phone got warm for awhile and has a newly opened port for SSH.


Are you serving the same market segment as OP?


Profile Picture next to the domain name?



I didn't see the letter linked to or quoted on the site. I doubt it was like JD, but it might have similarly tried to explain the trademark issue.



"The Tumblr name and mark is fanciful" -- but, we use C&D letter templates we downloaded off of the internet. They did need to send some kind of request (or risk losing their trademark), but could have done much better.


Was at a conference last October where Dave Shea talked about the impact of CSS Zen Garden - but said that the web didnt need it or another one anymore. I wonder what changed his mind?
