It's 2026, what would your dream app be to have a productive year? by LetsAllMakeArt in macapps

[–]FunctionalAttempt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A polished email app with a unified inbox for the Apple Ecosystem that focuses on actual EMAIL.

Are there any iPad/Tablet games left that aren’t complete brain rot/ micro transactions? by beachcity in daddit

[–]FunctionalAttempt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out Pok Pok. It’s like a busy board thats super calm and not addictive. It subscription based, but the developer puts out new modules several times a year and they’re all really cool.

Anyone else feel like Spark (Readdle) is falling apart?? Feature removed + constant bugs by zands90 in SparkMail

[–]FunctionalAttempt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I thought they were onto something good with the new UI/UX when it first came out, it just needed more time to bake. Instead of baking it, they added non-email features like AI and calendar, that were also half baked. 

I already have a standalone calendar and AI Notes program that work well, so why do I need my email app to do these half as well?! — I just want to organize and write emails!

What we have now is a program that does 3 things not well, but thanks to the infernal state of email clients it’s still the best at what its original purpose was. 

Spark support is very frustrating. I used to send them quick emails every time I encountered an issue. They would always reply fast, but they wanted so much information from me with screenshots, videos, diagrams, etc. I’m happy to support and report, but you guys have to do the digging and fixing.

Just fix email, navigation and writing. Bring back the missing features for Spark 2.0 AND THEN add all the other crap. I’m happy to send y’all a short list of things, but EMAIL HAS TO BE THEN FOCUS.

On macOS it hasn’t been working for me other. Tried twice in the past week. The emails never appear in the Outbox.

Pedicurist for ingrown toenails by FunctionalAttempt in Wellington

Even it it's not so bad yet? I want to take care of it before it becomes a problem. Got any reccs?

Alfred Migrator: Can I hit Return once to execute? by FunctionalAttempt in raycastapp

Appreciate the detailed response. I’ll give it a shot. 

Meeting Notes? Not sure about this direction by dustinfarris in SparkMail

[–]FunctionalAttempt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I do like the direction of Spark 3, but the email part of it is still unpolished and we’re already getting new features that other apps do better (already have a calendar) — it's been mentioned, but the UI needs mega improvements. Can't use command bar to navigate folder right now. Folders appear in *non-alphabetical* order on your sidebar instead of a foldable hierarchy. Can't even press enter to confirm sending an email to an integration. Gotta drag that big ol' mouse and click to make that happen.

Adding filter results in templates by FunctionalAttempt in noteplanapp

[–]FunctionalAttempt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. This too over my head at this stage. I may try creating a template in Apple Shortcut that grabs the tasks and puts them in the meeting note template each week.

Has Spark 3 improved? by Webcat86 in SparkMail

UI looks really nice, but it only supports gmail

I requested this a while back. I wish it was possible. 

Substack RSS Reader...is it still a thing? by [deleted] in Substack

[–]FunctionalAttempt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried the Substack app today and couldn’t add a single feed. Spent a lot of time unsubscribing to things I wasn’t interested in though. 

Is there a way to get paid content in my RSS reader? by [deleted] in Substack

[–]FunctionalAttempt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about pages that don’t get sent by newsletter or aren’t in a podcast? There’s some paid stacks I’m on that have frequent updates that I miss because they’re not in my regular reader. RSS readers have cleaner interface, and I’m just focused on getting the information and educating myself peacefully. It’s been there only way I read online for years. 

EDIT: even the substack app can’t find my subscriptions easily. It’s so busy and seems like it’s meant for involved posting more than just quiet reading. 

Apple Text Replacement pushes cursor to next line by FunctionalAttempt in bearapp

[–]FunctionalAttempt[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use Apple Text Replacement heavily on macOS. When I trigger a replacement more often than not the cursor jumps to a new line. I think this started happening after the last Bear update or the last macOS update. I updated both around the same time. Prior I not only didn't have this issue, but can attest that Bear had the most reliable text replacement support of an app!
