Stoked to be an App of the Day. Thanks @AppStore https://t.co/NUETklUC3M

@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 have like 50 active macOS https://t.co/jnODN6vVOy 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.

[Chad Podoski @chadpod]

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

[Chad Podoski @chadpod]

@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.

[Chad Podoski @chadpod]

@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?

[Chad Podoski @chadpod]

@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.

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

[US Consumer Product Safety Commission @USCPSC]

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.

[Chad Podoski @chadpod]

@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.

[Chad Podoski @chadpod]

What an amazing thread outlining Twitter software innovations.

[Dan Luu @danluu]

One of the things that I think is sad about the decimation of Twitter eng is that Twitter was doing a lot of interesting (and high ROI) engineering work that, at younger companies, is mostly outsourced to "the cloud" or open source projects

A few examples off the top of my head:

[Chad Podoski @chadpod]

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.

[Chad Podoski @chadpod]

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

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.

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: https://t.co/84Rw3wFzSD #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!
