My Mac App Store Day One
Since I was one vacation last week I had to wait until today to try out the new Mac App Store.
Overall, mostly what I expected, lack of uninstall seems to be the most glaring omission, but it will come.
While you can spend hours philosophizing about how it changes the Mac ecosystem (or what acronym to use), the whole point of the store is to get Apps, so here are today’s list:
- Apptivate: Really simple hotkey manager. 1
- Kindle: Mostly for my non-fiction books.
- QuickCursor: Edit almost any text field in TextMate (or your text editor of preference).
- The Incident: Fast and fun retro game.
- Twitter: No description necessary.
- If you remap your caps lock key to the control key, a whole new world of hotkey combinations open up, and considerably more ergonomic. ↩︎
