help me find an app

i'll just copy some of my notes here. i'm trying to find a specific application. i've tried the 37signals stuff, stikkit, google-stuff. So far nothing fits the bill very well.

it doesn't have to be all-in-one (like stikkit) but i wouldn't mind. either way as long as it all works as one.

stikkit is so close. but the lack of further development and the inability to display data to people who don't want to start their own stikkit account makes it difficult to keep using.

i looked at it. i’m not

i looked at it. i'm not crazy about it. and it's not a contact manager.

i love how i can type out a single stikkit and have a contact created, an event, and todo list. and an rss feed showing my changes. stikkit is really an amazing data backend. but the front end isn't great. and i'm nervous about them stopping support.

if there was a product like stikkit that was supported and was a little easier to share with multiple users, i think i'd have a winner.

so far i'm still actually leaning toward using stikkit and just developing some different front-end options for team members using the API.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
