Just before the new year, I updated my iPhone home screen for the first time in a while. New apps: Calm and Audible.

@Munish @toddgrotenhuis I'm really enjoying Hey and may switch more accounts to it when they roll out custom domain name support.

@ridwan The 2nd screen is all folders. 🙂 I also adopted the trick of a blank row at the top, which I still really like to keep it simple.

@manton @munish I support them in part because I like the way they do business. If not for that, I'd probably still be on fastmail. I really like the product, but think it will be "worth it" when it can handle calendars and custom domains.

@manton Hey looks incredibly cool, I'm kind of afraid to look into its accessibility. But absolutely love their approach to things.

@manton I have to say, I am really liking the new iOS app library thing. I didn't like it at first because I have my home screens organized just the way I like them, but after hiding them and depending on the library for a little bit, I find I'm actually finding things faster. Siri's also gotten quite good about guessing what app I might want to use next, it's almost scary. :)

@manton Interesting, I've dropped apps from my home screen this year too, except mine are replaced by a couple of widgets instead.

@SteveSawczyn I've found Siri suggestions to be good as well, maybe because I'm always searching for the same 3-4 apps that aren't on my home screen.

@manton Out of curiousity, what do you use Ulysses for ?

@dustinbucher I use it for writing drafts for longer posts and for taking notes. I have thousands of little text files on Dropbox, so I can use Ulysses or iA Writer or whatever my current favorite Markdown editor is.

@manton Siri certainly has grown up a bit over the last few iOS versions. I need to work on trusting it more.
