Do you find that people use the “remind me on my computer” feature? I like it

It brings in a handful of signups, not as many as I thought it would. Plus the occasional comment about how people like it :)

Makes sense! And by the way thanks for teaching me React two years back, your course was the only thing that made sense to me.

Some apps I really like are on sale. Here are some suggestions: Web Development: - ProxyMan - https://proxyman.io/ — web debugging proxy (30% off the first year) - Tower - https://www.git-tower.com/ — powerful Git Client (50% off the first year) - DevUtils - https://devutils.com/ — set of small developer tools (50% off) For overall productivity: - BetterTouchTool - https://folivora.ai/ — customize input devices (50%…

Love BetterTouchTool. It's a must-have to customize your Mac, keyboard shortcuts, automate things you do regularly, etc.

BTT works better than Logitech G-Hub for customizing Logitech mice

MBP 14" are $500 off sticker again like they were recently. It's still expensive, but the M1 Pro based laptops really are that good and I'm happy as a pig in poop. M1 Airs are 800 and great for your lower tech relatives.

Amazon, this morning at least. edit: checked just now and they're still 20% off.

+1 for DevUtils

$40/year on regular pricing sounds quite expensive for stuff you have other means of accomplishing.

It's not per year, it's a one time purchase with lifetime (well, "lifetime") updates.

Generally I find Black Friday a bit overhyped, the "bargains" are best checked against price history with (say) CamelCamelCamel before you buy. Not Black Friday, but in the UK and maybe other countries, Amazon Warehouse is currently doing a 20% off sale, so 20% off the price when you get to checkout. I've had a few good "As New" things off there in the past, worth having a look. There's also a 50% off books sale on t…

Definitely, it doesn't feel right anymore.

I like what Tutanota does instead: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/black-friday-hype

I really like their service and their attitude towards Black Friday makes me like them even more.

Do you have some examples? I see the appeal but aren’t really inspired by the description, could you share how you use it?

From their website:

  The license is a perpetual license. One license key allows you to use the app indefinitely. You are also eligible for one year of free updates.

  If you don't want to renew your license after one year, you can continue to use the last version of DevUtils that you have for as long as you want.

  You can renew your license here with a 40% discount for another year of updates. That means the renew price is 60% of your purchase price (before discount) and won't be affected if the app price increases in the future. (e.g., $24 for the Basic License)
