   Indispensable productivity tool

   I've been using aText for quite some time, and it's been amazing. If you are typing a lot, I'm sure you would be able to optimize your work tremendously. You can have abbreviations for your closing email phrases, URLs, and whatever can come to your mind.

   Also, I'd suggest to think of a trigger character and use it at the beginning of all abbreviations. That way you will avoid collisions. I'm using a comma. For example, these are some of my abbreviations:

   • ,br => "Best regards, Stan"
   • ,sh-u => "https://www.saashub.com" (SaaSHub URL)

   You get the idea. Once you get used to the app, it will save you a lot of time and typing.

• Add suites (playing cards)

  I think I have a solution for you. I use an app called aText (there are many similar, but this one's my favorite) on my Mac and my PC to make my own shortcuts for phrases and symbols, like this. Source: 10 months ago

• How to change the date format?

  Not quite the answer you're looking for, but I use aText, so I can make my own date format, and my own shortcut, and it can be universal — and I can make all kinds of shortcuts for all kinds of other things, like symbols, emojis, and phrases. This way, I never have to worry about apps that don't have a YYYY-MM-DD option. :). Source: 11 months ago

• Apple Announces Changes to iOS, Safari, and the App Store in the European Union

  But developers can actually enlist their apps in both of these "stores" (setapp is subscription based) which probably increases their potential revenue. [0]: https://setapp.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Apple Rejects the Hey Calendar from Their App Store

  In a lot of neighborhoods that's exactly what it does. Also, you can shop for iOS apps in other places, like https://setapp.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• The End of the Subscription Era Is Coming

  Https://setapp.com is one example of a service that does bundling, albeit by offering what seems to be the full features of many things for a single subscription price (instead of your thought of a subset of features). It's not clear to me whether all of the apps offered are subscription-based, though. It's a model I'd be more willing to try than subscriptions to individual apps, although its OS and app offerings... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• PDF Reader Pro vs PDF Expert, Which is the best PDF editor to buy and why?

  I can't say that it's the best solution, but I use Nitro PDF from Setapp https://setapp.com/. Source: 11 months ago

• If it goes somewhere, it’s a link. If it does something, it’s a button

  There's also Sizzy (https://sizzy.co). It's available standalone, but it's also included with a Setapp subscription (https://setapp.com — Mac app subscription service). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
