Stoked to be an App of the Day. Thanks @AppStore itunes.apple.com/us/story/id144…

@drbarnard I travel with the Burton Traverse 35L Backpack and love it. It is more of a roller bag + personal bag replacement though. In the size you are looking for the Burton Kilo 2.0 27L Backpack looks pretty slick. Super druable bags and lifetime warranty that is honored.

I've got 7 work trips and at least one family trip (4 of which will be international) coming up and started looking for a 25-ish Liter backpack that will work as a personal item in addition to my rolling suitcase carry-on. And let me tell you… there are A LOT of bags to choose from these days! Here’s just a small selection, ordered roughly by my current preference: - evergoods.us/collections/ba… - aersf.com/collections/ba… - matadorequipment.com/products/seg28… - alpakagear.com/products/eleme… - peakdesign.com/products/trave… - cotopaxi.com/products/allpa… - mukama.com/en/greenroom13… - awaytravel.com/travel-bags/qu… - minaal.com/products/carry… - trakke.com/collections/wa… - nomatic.com/collections/tr… - en.heimplanet.com/products/tasch… - tortugabackpacks.com/products/trave… - ilequipment.com/collections/ba… - paktbags.com/products/every… - dsptch.com/collections/pa… - us.dbjourney.com/products/ramve… - topodesigns.com/products/conve… - bellroy.com/products/ventu… - bellroy.com/products/trans… - goruck.com/products/gr2-r… - topodesigns.com/products/daypa… - greenroom136.com/online-store/N… - shopmoment.com/products/every… - alphaoneniner.com/products/alpha… - troubadourgoods.com/collections/ba… - boundarysupply.com/products/renne… - wandrd.com/products/trans… - blackember.com/collections/ur… - vanquest.com/products/addax…

I have like 50 active macOS Notes.app windows open, but refuse to save them, instead I just force quit Notes every time. Can't commit to saving them, but don't want to delete them either. And I installed Atom so I don't have to open Notes as often.

@gruber Thanks for the summary. The last paragraph in particular is amazing . Here is to hoping the rejection is swift but vague, highlighting some sub, sub section of the law, without any details on how to achieve compliance and that it takes multiple shot in the dark revisions to fix.

Tried my best to keep this short and it still ran 5,000 words. Whole column-worth of footnotes alone.

@arielmichaeli Good to know, thanks. I DM'd you. Is DPR available elsewhere in the Appfigures UI, for your own app(s)?

@chadpod Oh weird. Can you DM me more details? FYI - all of the data in Keyword Inspector comes from our App Intelligence. We don’t use private data there.

@arielmichaeli Big fan, and customer, of Appfigures and your breakdowns. Can you clarify if having the same keyword in multiple localizations has negative effects? You have touched on multiple localizations in the blog, but more details on best practices there would be great.

@arielmichaeli So I convinced the team to upgrade to the Growth tier (we just started a 7 day trial), but I'm pretty bummed that DPR is very rarely available at least among our competitors. Even for our own app, which I don't get since AppFigures has access to our downloads & ratings?

@chadpod I’d use the primary function in English localization and the secondary/new features in all the other localizations. Let it run for a bit and bring the most popular keywords from the secondary localizations into the main one.

@arielmichaeli Awesome, thanks. I'm also trying to decide how much to push it with the name and subtitle on secondary localizations. The app actually has multiple primary features now, but historically is known for one main feature and those keywords are where it gets all its downloads.

@chadpod That’s great to hear 🙌 Each localization is handled separately, so you can reuse keywords between localizations (but not more than once within a localization)

Taking my first ever purposeful Twitter break, till next year. What a shitshow.

I just backed Project Mushroom on @Kickstarter kickstarter.com/projects/proje…

In 2019, we found out some of our oldest PSAs, many unseen for decades, would not be saved permanently in the National Archives. We had a choice - save them or send them to a lonely landfill somewhere. We saved them all. Now, we're publishing them online for the first time. 🧵

@brianschatz I know this is below your pay grade, but why are gas prices still over $5 a gallon in Hawaii? @POTUS needs to come for a visit. His efforts on gas have changed little for us unfortunately.

@russshanahan Totally agree. Have always thought developer history should factor in. Sorta like a rating on Ebay … how trustworthy is this developer. Needs to be independent of public App Store metrics. Definitely can’t use the App Store app reviews/ratings as part of the calculation.

What an amazing thread outlining Twitter software innovations.

Following that thread, has anyone ever gotten a straight answer on what actually needs to be changed to satisfy requirements from an App Store reviewer when asking for clarification. It is an awesome game of whack a mole.

Super frustrated with App Review lately. Different rejections on App Store assets or tiny details in app that have been there for months, if not years. Curious if others have seen a greater percentage of overly strict reviewers lately or I’m just on an unlucky streak.

Here it is: 2,000 words from me and @ZoeSchiffer inside Twitter as Musk Thanos-snapped half the company out of existence, workers lawyered up, and remaining employees put together Google Docs in an effort to figure out who even works there any more platformer.news/p/twitter-cut-…

TIL that as the CO river dries up, AZ is leasing its largest underground aquifer to the Saudis, who are growing water-intensive alfalfa, which is then shipped back to S.A. to feed cattle. Market rate for the lease is $5 million/yr. Saudis pay $86K. azcentral.com/story/opinion/…

In Georgia, it’s now illegal to give people water within 150 feet of polling places on Election Day. But don’t worry! We have a solution. Get yours here: liquiddeath.com/vote #liquiddeath

@jakebathman @viticci This has been changed for me … now back to previous state, like before the in-app event titles as keyword hack. Think Apple finally noticed thankfully!

@viticci It’s just the phone book all over again

Can you imagine having $48.2 billion cash on hand and YET still thinking "ah yes, those House of Fun Casino ads will grow our bottom line, let's do it"
