Lou Plummer 💖

Today on AppAddict - AppAddict's One-Year Anniversary - One year ago I posted my first app review on AppAddict. I'd recently subscribed to a new blogging service and I was trying to figure out what to write. I figured that my love of downloading and testing new software was something worth sharing. Besides, I was trying to figure... - appaddict.app/post/appaddict-s -

@amerpie congrats Lou - looks like AppAddict is going really well! I've subscribed for a while now and have found a few gems from your recommendations.

@amerpie Congrats Lou! I have been following for almost a year I think and found some cool apps I still use today, thanks to you, like Applite, topgrade and Reminders Menubar

Btw if you don't know Sentinel, it's a nice app to easily unquarantine apps that you test github.com/alienator88/Sentine

@mrcalexandre I did not know about this, so thank you for the tip!

@amerpie Congrats on the anniversary Lou!

@amerpie Congratulations my man, it's always a pleasure reading your blog

@davidbures Thanks David. I feel the same way every time I use Cork.

@amerpie Congrats. Thats so freaking great. As someone who’s been trying to get traction at my blog / newsletter I find getting discovered is the hardest part. Was there a specific thing you can point to that got you on the radar?

@Aaron The biggest boost was from cross posting on Reddit. You have the be careful because it’s got a prickly culture but done right, it can really help.

@amerpie That’s good to know. And yeah, I know if things are posted that look like link litter / purely promotional, you’ll get eviscerated. I’ve posted a few times to Lemmy, which helps a bit. I’ll have to look more into Reddit and doing it in a respectful and rule-following manner.

@amerpie Congratulations my friend! 🍾🎉

@amerpie Congratulations, and thank you for all the work. It's been a great year. Except for my wallet!

@maique I can relate to the wallet woes. All of my blogging related subscriptions are starting to renew and Wonder Woman has been giving me the side eye. I told her to consider it an investment in my art!

@amerpie I also have an over-subscribbing issue and, sadly, some are left behind after only a little use. I then spend the rest of the time cursing my impulses, and thinking I could have gotten another one instead. Before just going ahead, and paying for that one as well!

@maique @amerpie This is starting to sound like a support group meeting

@mihobu @maique I subscribed to two European cloud storage services in the same week. I have two American ones as well. I have blogs on four different platforms. Two paid weather services. So many others. I eliminated a few expensive ones though, canceling Amazon Prime, Google 1, Hulu, NYT and WaPo.

@amerpie @mihobu Is there a group therapy app? 🙂

@amerpie keep it up! I’m depending on you to use all the apps so i don’t have to. :)

In seriousness — you’ve created a really useful resource. I always search your site when I need a particular app for something.

@annie You can also just shoot me a message too. Glad to help.
