    99% of blogs were long winded, rambling, pieces of shit that no one read or had time to read.

:(

But really, haha, I like what you say here:

    In terms of social media and apps, it's not about the creative process as much as it is about getting users to actually use these services and solve a "problem".

We've moved from feature overload to feature scarcity. Hit up the Mac App Store right now and you'll see at least 10 different apps that are "just" full-screen, distraction-free writing apps. Or music apps like Vox that focus entirely on "just the music."

We want one app that does something really well, as opposed to something like, say, Facebook or iTunes, which do a bunch of things poorly.
