    This was my plan for my dad's PC, but, while he uses an iPad he uses for the vast majority of his browsing/email/etc, he uses his PC to do his taxes and the taxes of quite a few ot…

    I agree with other commenters. The pitch didn't do a great job of explaining what problem this solves, so I went to the demo video to find the answer. There's no logging problem bi…

    I was so bummed when they ended the Heavyweight podcast and made it a Spotify exclusive. It was one of the very few shows I would have conversations with people about the day after…

    Could you say more about Raycast vs Alfred? I've got lots of customizations built into Alfred, so switching always feels like a big lift and I use it so much it would be a major di…

    I've got a lot of customizations built in Alfred, but Raycast intrigues me. Have you used Alfred to the point where you can compare the two?

    I tend to update my Karoo pretty quickly, but I have never seen any indication that it would force an update, so I think people could stick with last week's version for as long as …

    There's a fourth credit agency now that it's recommended to put a freeze on, but I don't remember the name off the top of my head.

    I found it very hard to figure out how to choose content, since I don't personally know anyone using the app yet. I like the concept, and I don't think I want an algorithm as a lun…
