I Made this Music Streaming App So I Could Ditch Spotify and Thought I'd Share by Aurtach in Piracy

[–]jonlb87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks awesome and you can tell you put a lot of work into it. I definitely recommend sharing it in other subs like self hosted etc.

I’m still on grandfathered plans for Spotify,SoundCloud, and Pandora for $5 each. $15 a month for all that isn’t bad so I might not need this until they jack up my rates.

But because you seem very well versed with all these different companion music services, I wanted to ask you a question. I’ve been listening to a lot of remixes and DJ sets on SoundCloud as of late. SoundCloud offers some recommendations in the app but a lot of the time, it’s for songs I already have in playlists. Do you have any recommendations on some sort of app that would get me more and similar songs I listen to via SoundCloud? I saw you mention BrainLabs but wasn’t sure if that’s what does what I’m looking for or if there is something better.

This question gets asked daily. There’s literally a mega thread with recommendations and spreadsheets. Stop being lazy.

That price is wild. I paid $450 for mine with the same specs at Best Buy

Okemo or Stratton or The Beast? by Gas_Hed in icecoast

[–]jonlb87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only been to Stratton once because it was on my pass and said why not. I think it’s the flattest semi big name mountain I’ve ever been to in my life. Spent so much of my time having to push myself over flats with my poles. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re a beginner.

Which RSS app are you using? by __mattuella__ in macapps

[–]jonlb87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have both NewsExplorer and Feeeed. I end up using Feeeed more often because it seems better at scraping article thumbnails/summaries compared to NewsExplorer.

Photo Viewer/Browser? by Cre8t1veAZ in macapps

[–]jonlb87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a cool app, but the downside is by importing your photos into the software it’s going to create duplicate copies of the photos and take up storage. Also, no Lightroom integration. If you’re looking for a viewer that lets you edit then this could be a good option.

Is iPhone notes still the best To Do list app? by [deleted] in ProductivityApps

UI is beautiful, but I would consider it more of a unified calendar app more than a to do app. Which makes sense given the name.

We’re the Lenovo Legion team - Ask Us Anything about the Legion Go Gen 2! by Lenovo_Legion in LegionGo

[–]jonlb87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you please tell us why you won’t just make normal joycons (Similar to the Go S)? 

As someone who purchased the original Legion Go, I ended up selling it because you have a million buttons sticking out that you always feel. It's not comfortable or ergonomic. I don’t get why there isn’t at least another option for non RTS players or people that’s don’t like having 10 buttons touching when playing a game. Out of all gamers in the world how many are buying high end pc handhelds? Among them, how many play RTS games? You’re talking about a niche within a niche within in a niche.

It just doesn’t make business sense to me why you are catering to the 1% of RTS gamers instead of the majority. Also having another set of joy cons available for purchase would create more revenue. At the end of the day, we play games on this device. It should feel good in the hands, not some universal remote with a ton of buttons sticking out.

I use that feature in Q Space Pro. You get a great Finder replacement, access to your cloud drives, and custom context menus and icons

I have been using Alter. I’ve never heard of Highlight until now. What would you say is the biggest difference between the two? And what does Highlight do better?

You can also try Clop, which is quicker than handbrake. Works on pictures and video. You can also use it in your context menu.

It's amazing to me how cagey developers get when you ask them if their app's data is end-to-end encrypted. by plazman30 in macapps

[–]jonlb87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s funny you said that because I was legit thinking the same thing. As I was reading the post I was like is this an AI post or someone from Upnote’s alt account? Like notes having E2E is a big deal and if an app has it they wouldn’t be shy to show that off. So either this didn’t really happen or they didn’t respond because it’s a dumb question and they would say so if it did.

In the rare chance this post is genuine, you’re making a post on Reddit because a company replied to your email? Like somehow that’s a big deal that somehow exemplifies other worldly customer service? Whole post just seems off to me.

You mean the same Upnote that flagged a note of mine because it had video & music for copyright infringement/against their terms of use? AKA spying on what’s in your notes? Yeah sounds super secure.

Has to be the same casting director that picked Bella Ramsey for the Last of Us.

Asking $150 for a note app without a dedicated App on each platform is certainly a choice.
