This week we turn our attention to one of those essential but often cluttered repositories: our Contacts database. Jean embarks on a quest to clean up her Contacts, organize people into groups, update info and delete some names too. It feels a bit like the Inbox Zero projects we did when we launched the podcast, but the goal is not to reduce it zero, of course!

I mostly get why people don't like subscriptions. There's a lot of good stuff out there and no one's got the money to pay for everything. Watching something you've paid for once go down the subscription route can be a frustrating thing. Who wants to keep paying for something they've already paid before?This happened with the amazing calendar app, Fantastical. They chose to become a subscription-based app and the App Store was not having it. While I understand what's causing the frustration, it's also ridiculous to expect developers to only be paid once for their work and continue to demand new things from them. If you want to continue to have new features, then you'll need to pay for them. Simple as that. Maybe start treating developers like the people they are, eh?There's also a brand spankin' new blog post waiting for you. It's called, Why It's Okay and Necessary To “Kill Your Darlings.”When doing any sort of creative work, it's eventually going to need an edit. Remember, your first draft is rarely your best draft. It's essential that you learn to not be so stinking precious about what you do. I mean, like it, sure, but be prepared to slash it down to make it better. Read this post today to learn why killing your creative darlings is essential to any creative process.We're wrapping things up with what I'm watching, reading, and listening to this week. It's a great assortment of media that's worth your time.Links to stuff that was mentioned:Apple approves Hey email app, but the fight's not over - The VergeHeyAuto-renewable Subscriptions: Revenue After One Year - AppleApp Store Connect - App StoreFlexibitsSay hello to the new Fantastical for Mac, iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watch - FlexibitsFantasticalJanuary 29, 2020 entry on the Dandy Cat Design microblogSubscribe to Dandy Cat DesignWhy It's Okay and Necessary To “Kill Your Darlings” - Dandy Cat DesignRussell Brand | Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend - EarwolfJustified - IMDbI Am the Fun Blame Monster! | Menomena - YouTubeGrave Peril | Jim Butcher - Goodreads

Productivity nerds, rejoice! Flexibits, the company behind Fantastical, is releasing Cardhop on the iPhone and iPad today. Cardhop was originally released on macOS, and it lets you text or call your contacts as well as add information more quickly. If you have an iPhone, chances are you're using the default Contacts app. It's a pretty straightforward app, but it hasn't evolved in years.

Recorded 7 Dec. 2012. We talk about the launch of Fantastical for iPhone — a little bit about marketing, but mainly about app design. You can download the m4a file.

Warning about sound quality: Brent’s microphone goes weird around 19:00 and he switches to another microphone. We apologize for the less-than-smooth experience. (That microphone has been given a stern talking-to and placed in the time-out corner while it thinks about its bad self.)
