App Defaults has gone a bit bonkers: 46 blog posts now!

https://defaults.rknight.me/

Also new:

- An RSS feed for new posts: https://defaults.rknight.me/feed.xml
- An OPML file if you want to import everyone's feeds into your feed reader: https://defaults.rknight.me/opml.xml

@robb Oh man, it's like doubled since I saw it yesterday!

@matt yeah it’s been non-stop today.

@robb You’re the hero none of us deserve. 🦸‍♂️ What a neat idea to collect them up in an RSS feed. Thanks!

@robb do I need to post mine somewhere if I don't have a blog, I just took your original post saying I could send to you

@robb @canion @HemisphericViews I think we might have a new Supreme Default on the leaderboard with @alexink! Just look at that clean sweep. Can’t even dock her for Reeder since there’s no built-in RSS reader anymore AFAIK. 👏

@robb amazing! Thanks for keeping all of this organized

@pauls I need somewhere to link to but you could post it here and I can link to the toot

@jarrod By sheer accident (laziness) I have the ultimate default position? 😛

@robb I've added mine! https://pawel.orzech.me/2023/11/07/my-defaults.html

@jarrod @rknightuk @canion @HemisphericViews And perhaps the least defaulty of the defaults so far in @gMoon. I’ve never even heard of half of these!

@robb You’ve all inspired me :)

@robb I love this so much Robb

@rafa thank you 💕

@robb Alright now make a searchable spreadsheet so we can sort by category.

@Ronnie I have a note to do something like that but I need it to slow down first 😅

@yury_mol Added!

@matt @robb Thanks for helping give it some momentum! We never expected a podcast episode to kick off so much blogging - love it!

@robb You (and @s3thi) have nerd sniped me. Here's my list: https://notes.abhinavsarkar.net/2023/default-apps

@jarrod that guy should read about exposing his rss

@otaviocc Added!

@abnv Added!

@robb I've never quite understood the need for Bookmark Managers. I just drop everything in Notes.

I really have tried to slim my app/SAAS subscriptions down recently as it's easy for $5 and $10pcm there to add up.

Also, one notable omission from these App Defaults (which to be fair wasn't mentioned in the @hemisphericviews podcast) is the Weather App.

@andycarolan I have _a lot_ of links so notes or similar just wouldn't work for me (see https://intersect.rknight.me/).

I get it though, I have no interest in paying for things like bookmarking.

@robb That's a really good idea. I think if you can spin one up on your own site, it's a far better idea than paying for yet another service.

@andycarolan @robb I use Raindrop and it’s got a great free tier

@ravipatel I noticed that they have a free tier. Looks pretty comprehensive too @robb

@andycarolan @robb That’s what i meant. I use the free tier and it’s brilliant.

@pimoore I’m sure it’s not as feature rich as a dedicated manager, but it’s ‘free’ and imo works well @robb @hemisphericviews

@pimoore @robb I do like Robb’s efforts in this space… it’s beyond my capabilities or willingness to put in the time or effort unfortunately lol

@pimoore 😂 @robb

@robb this is my contribution to the growing list of "deafult apps";
