This is the end of my noodling with and recommending TextExpander. I don’t want that so we no longer have anything in common. Smile wants recurring payments and their own syncing service. It’s not my place to say what is a good business decision for someone else.
I trust that they know what they are doing. I trust that they have experience securing data against accidents and malfeasance. In the end, I do trust Dropbox, Box.net, Google, and even Microsoft to have a security team with experience. I do not trust them to guard against government intrusion or dumb acquisitions. I trust Dropbox to be good at security control and server administration because that is their primary job. How is the data treated at rest? Who has access to the database or even the connection details? When was the last time they were audited by a third party? These are things I don’t want to think about when I create a text snippet.Īn obvious question is: Do I trust Dropbox. I wonder how they document their security roles and what their schedule is for a pen-test.

I look at their software and the bugs I stumble over, then I think about what that means for their back-end design. When it comes down to it, I just don’t trust every developer to be good at securing my data even if I like their apps. Risk of trusting amateurs is not worth the returned value of convenience. I have addresses, phone numbers, names, and server connection strings. My snippets are mostly dumb but not entirely benign. 3 The requirement for syncing through their service does not fit my needs. My real issue with the new TextExpander is similar to my issue with YNAB and Day One. I get very little in return for what I consider to be a high cost. The TextExpander service, the YNAB service, and even the new Day One are not a value to me. I don’t understand markets but I do understand value.

I now pay $20 for a digital copy of a movie and $10 for delivery of a physical copy of the same movie. I’ve also accepted that things cost different amounts than I am accustom to. Charity app-buying does not seem like a sustainable model but I’m probably a bad person. Write into blogs and tell them how great it is. If you want to insure the continued existence of a particular piece of software then it’s much better to advertise for them. I disagree with most arguments about supporting developers. There are plenty of really excellent charities in the world that do a lot of good with a dollar.
I do not buy software out of charity but I do pay for software out of fairness.

It’s a difficult market and an upgrade needs to be amazing but will still get slammed in reviews.
The mainstream market will pay for jewels and tokens before they buy an app upgrade. Most “normies” don’t want to pay for software even once, let alone pay for updates.

I’d happily buy another version now for full price. I bought the last TextExpander upgrade sight unseen just a year ago. I buy multiple copies when it’s convenient. I buy almost every app I have ever reviewed on this site. If it’s still installed when an upgrade comes out, then I buy it. I buy every version of most of my currently installed software. 2 A Few Words About Money, Charity, and Support They can call it what they want and I can call it what I want. It’s pedantic and probably wrong but it’s how my mind keeps track of value. When I rent, I get an access and usage permission but I get nothing to keep. I think of a subscription as a recurring fee for ownership. They call it a subscription model but I’m going to call it app renting. Smile has a new business model for TextExpander 6. The TE keyboard on iOS was the only one I trusted to give “full access.” Even though the iOS keyboard always felt slow and outdated I still loved the app for its syncing and integration across all the apps I used. Each year, the iOS version felt more neglected but the integration with other apps was incredible. Even when the more powerful Keyboard Maestro added typed-text triggers, I stuck by TE because I liked how it worked. I’ve been an ardent fan of TextExpander (TE) for as long as I can remember. Michael Tsai has a tremendous round up of opinions.Įveryone has an opinion. This post at Practically Effecient considers why we pay for software at all. Drang’s post and the latest Back to Work episode for additional opinions from similarly invested nerds.

But I’ve recommended the Mac and iOS app TextExpander many, many times and feel like I’ve endorsed it enough that I now have an obligation to all the people that listened to me, even if I don’t want it. While I may be cranky, I’m not all that self-important. I dislike wading into battles of opinion.
