BundleHunt 8/2025
8/29/2025
I remember being distrustful of that $120 lifetime deal.
My previous subscription (a $9.99 one-year StackSocial offer) expired in spring 2023. Since then, the only new features locked to me are:

Boostnote is dead.
Received this email:
Dear valued users,
Thank you very much for your continued support of Boost Note.
We regret to inform you that Boost Note will terminate its service on Sept...
The software dev who wrote about this is kind of ridiculous. He gave up on Todoist because he lacked the self-control to turn off an optional gamification feature in the app, "Great until I realized ...

I never wanted to rely on Safari Reader because I wanted tagging, folders, read it later and archive features, and I didn't want to be restricted to just using Safari.

The tech bro ecosystem

The tech bro ecosystem

I use Brave, which like DDG is privacy focused. However Brave blocks cross-site trackers, which I believe the DDG browser does not (yet) do. Brave also has anti-fingerprinting tech in it, which gives ...

Interesting post from Joan Westernberg, who has written for years in major publications about technology, creativity, and lifehacking. This piece discusses why Joan decided to nuke their Obsidian vaul...

novelWriter

Since it hasn't been mentioned here before, I thought I would highlight novelWriter -- a free, open-source plain text editor for Mac, Windows, and Linux, designed specifically for writing novels and o...

It seems like it takes shoebox & search/related-search concepts from DevonThink, then adds the option of a sharing/importing component, with storage flexibility, as a service.
