" We believe that Pro’s price of $9.99 per month is money well spent. However, because Pro is new and will evolve in response to your feedback, we wanted to provide some payment flexibility. Our introductory set your own price subscription allows you to choose your monthly payment for the first year of Pro. This special offer expires in 4 weeks, on Wednesday, October 7th.

I look at IFTTT and Zapier and wonder what people use them for. Don't get me wrong, I think both have a target consumer but they feel expensive for what they appear to offer. I feel like if you're investing in automation the agnostic nature of owning and operating the code is more valuable than building into a walled system that relies on Internet connectivity and a SaaS service. OpenFaaS plus some Python could get y…

Affinity Photo, for instance, cost $60, and VMware Fusion cost $80, to name two products I purchased…

A couple weeks ago, I was looking for some way to convert a Gmail email filter into an Android clock alarm (not just a custom notification) so I can be woken up if a certain email arrives.

Would you run this boxed software on your machine? Would you maintain it? How much is your time worth?
