Oh my I'm looking forward to this. How many silly workarounds (pastebins, email drafts, iMessages to self, Safari bookmarks) have we used to approximate this?

You should check this out, I've been using and enjoying it for a while. My previous solution was sending emails to myself, so painful lol

Do you know if you have to be on the same wifi network for this to work, like with AirDrop?

You don't need to be on the same Wi-Fi network to use AirDrop.

It's backed by iCloud so I assume it would work across networks.

Heads up for anyone using Karabiner to remap their keyboard-- it's not updated for Sierra yet.

I figure that's a more popular app among HN crowd than most places, and losing it is really painful.

"Siri makes its debut on Mac"Siri has been in iOS since 2011 and still can't handle basic parsing/questions.

There was that demo of something that looked a lot better, but I've never seen it actual rolled into the product.

While they're at it, can we make paste and match style the default? I can never remember the four key chord to do this and as a result send emails that look like ransom notes because of mismatched formatting.
