    Great list, but what the hell are these doing there?

    Cloud Storage

      Well they are technically cloud storage providers but yes they may not be awesome so I might consider removing them.

        What I assume the commenter meant is that Beeper was bought by Automattic, which also owns Wordpress and whose CEO is Matt Mullenweg. Recently Mullenweg has been on a vendetta against WPEngine from benefiting from Wordpress, and basically sabotaging Wordpress to spite WPEngine. This article details the beef.

        That being said, I use Beeper (and Pocket Casts, also owned by Automattic) and enjoy them a bunch. I haven’t noticed any issues since April, and the whole Wordpress vs. WPEngine seems to not affect Beeper.

          I had even forgotten that.

          I can’t fucking stand that piece of shit Eric Migicovsky. He fucked a bunch of the workers at Pebble on his way out, selling it to Fitbit, and then leaving them hanging when they were promised their jobs were part of the sale.

          His whole Beeper breaking into iMessage and then trying to make it work for three days and then just giving up after it became clear Apple was going to fight it. It reeked of complete lack of planning or consideration of the ramifications.

          Finally, they never took privacy seriously, and I learned that the hard way during my onboarding in the first year they released. Suffice to say, I bowed out of the onboarding because of their lack of communication and lack of respect for user privacy.

          Now he wants back in on Pebble since it got open sourced. He’s building another new company and telling people to join.

          I’m sick of this asshole fucking failing upward and fucking everyone each time he does.

          But yes, Mullenweg super sucks, too. So it was created by an asshat, ran by an asshat, and then sold to another asshat.

    As much as I understand the drive to make Windows bearable with some better software than Microsoft supplies, I just can’t muster the suspension of disbelief to grok the words “windows” and “awesome” next to each other.
