Here are the apps I used that I’m not seeing.

• FoodNoms for calorie counting
• Waking Up for guided meditation
• Finch for gamified general mental health
• Future for asynchronous virtual training
• Tripsy for travel tracking
• Organic Maps for offline mapping
• Transit for navigating most US cities via public transit
• Fastmail for personal email (Apple Mail for work email)
• 1Password for password management
• Elaho for browsing Gemini
• Tidal for music
• Vellum for cool backgrounds
• SwiftScan for scanning documents
• iPlum for a cheap business phone number
• Kagi Search to set the Kagi search engine as the default in Safari
• Parcel for package tracking
• Mona for Mastodon

And I’ll second some others.

• Overcast
• Bookplayer
• Reeder
• AnyList
• Sleep Cycle
• Signal
• Obsidian
• Vinegar
• Noir

I would like to make a distinction between a “content creator” in the literal sense — just a person who creates content — and a “content creator” as the phrase is commonly used today — a person who makes a living by selling content or by giving away content to market something else.

I, for one, would be very interested in seeing more people on the fediverse creating content, but I’m not super interested in the fediverse becoming a marketing channel for professional content creators.

Of course, it’s an open platform, so pro content creators are more than welcome to join. I’m just not super excited about approaching them and saying, “please come hock your wares to us on the fediverse!”

• The internet was way better before it became a giant shopping mall.
• Those cars that don’t have the flecks in the paint look like children’s toys.

Then, I have a couple that pre-date even boomers by many years 😅:

• Handkerchiefs kick the shit out of paper tissues.
• Cars have made the world a worse place.
