Good Apps - Albums

Albums is a music app for iOS that will use your Apple Music library and is focused on playing full albums. Why is this great? Apart from being a joy to use, listening to full albums instead of just a song from this album and then that album, contextualizes the experience of the song. A bigger “unit of music” means less choices to make (either for me or an AI): And having to make less choices is a good thing for me.

Albums has many interesting features like an upcoming release feed and tools to rediscover albums you haven’t listened to in a while. The app either requires a subscription or a one-time unlock which cost here around 25€. Instabuy for me.

Still oftentimes just skimming the Micro.blog timeline instead of catching up with it because there doesn’t seem to be a pair of mac/iPhoneOs apps that does timeline syncing.

Short Posts With Titles

Blog

One kind of blog post that I really like is a short post with a title. One or two paragraphs about a topic (almost any topic really) is a great length for me. A title makes sure that it’s going to be a somewhat framed thought.

A short post with a title can contain a picture or two to illustrate what’s going on. It could have links or a video embed. I would really like to write more posts of this kind myself.
