CCATP #433 I Push Hard on Greg Scown from Smile About TextExpander 6 « NosillaCast
Lars
April 10, 2016 at 9:44 pm
Text Expander wasn’t a cheap app. Not at all. There’s a text out there for $5, which has the same core functionality. I am NOT against subscription models per se. Let’s look at an example:
– Adobe Photoshop (CS6) used to cost $999, Lightroom something around $200. Significant updates came at a steep price, several hundert dollars, every 2-3 years.
– Now I pay $9 a month for Photoshop CC and Lightroom CC. They added a cloud service and some goodies. $108 a year compared to the acquisition price of over thousand dollars. Sure, you could get some discounts and save 10-20%, but I think you get the point. With the subscription model, I have a yearly rate of 1/10 the original price.
The same goes for MS Office, I get a ton of software for a modest monthly rate. I also subscribe to Backblaze, Evernote and some other stuff, because I think it’s worth it.
Now let’s look at Text Expander:
It cost $35 and major updates (every 2 years) cost $20. I gladly payed that. So, if I use TE for 6 years, it’s one purchase and two updates, adding up to $75 or ~$1 a month. so, with the $4/month model, I will have to pay FOUR times the amount. With the next version, I would do exactly the same, expand snippets. Sync service? What was wrong with Dropbox sync, it worked like a charm, so there’s absolutely no added value there. And if you look at a broken sync service, take a look at the Omni Group, they gave us OmniSync for free for their applications.
Let’s get back to Adobe: for $9 I get applications that are on the cutting edge of technology. Ever looked at the feature list and the developer team? It’s 4,5 GB of software I am getting. Text Expander is a 30MB helper app. Look at MS Office 365, for ~$10 you get several applications (Excel, Word, Powerpoint….), there’s a cloud service included and even a whole programming language. I know, economies of scale, Smile is not MS or Adobe.
Getting back to my 6-years-of-usage example, $4 dollars per month amounts to €288.

Episode 035 — Cocoa Psycho and Science Tourism — Nerds on Draft
Gabe and Jeff go down the "science tourism" rathole with alternating parts of bunk and debunk.
Can we really get a grasp of an incredibly difficult topic by reading a paragraph on it on Buzzfeed?
Do we get smarter by reading one of Malcolm Gladwell’s books or are we fooling ourselves?
Science is more fashionable than ever these days, especially on the internet, so sounding smart on science has never looked so good. This one might be a rough ride so don’t forget to take your vitamins.

Episode 026 — Old Stock Ale and Task Management — Nerds on Draft
This week Gabe and Jeff tackle the nerd Mount Everest that is task management.
In some Twitter circles, you can’t throw a Field Notes book without hitting someone talking about what they did to become productive.
The journey into the depths of productivity porn was eased somewhat but the excellent Old Stock Ale by North Coast Brewing.
Unlike the last time Jeff and Gabe talked about task management, the word "OmniFocus" has been replaced with the word "Taskpaper" and a lot of the approach to how they manage their busy lives has undergone significant change.
GTD (Getting Things Done) still plays a huge role in the conversation so much of what they discuss applies if you’re using a different tool to wrangle the day-to-day or using a plain text format like they do.
