  • Stormcrow

    Jared Sinclair: If you’ve ever wanted an easier way to write a properly-threaded tweetstorm, my new app Stormcrow can help. Type all your tweets into a single text view. Stormcrow will automatically separate your paragraphs into a thread of automatically-numbered tweets. Great little app.

  • Uber Self-Driving Vehicle Involved in Arizona Crash

  • How to hide annoying page elements

    Awesome new update to 1Blocker (both iOS and Mac) which allows you to select page elements to block per domain. I was able to test it ahead of the launch and it’s pretty sweet. I love seeing this stuff — and yes you do this from the extension, no need to enter the app proper. Stellar […]
