My Dream App voting round 2



The second round of voting is under way over at My Dream App. Vote and let your voice be heard! Plus, when you vote you get a free copy of Mori, Hog Bay Software's document organizer.

This round's judges are the cream of the crop of Mac bloggers including John Siracusa of Ars Technica, John Gruber of Daring Fireball, Merlin Mann of 43 Folders. Oh, and somehow yours truly got invited to be a judge. Go check out the apps and vote for your favorite.

My favorite idea so far? Blossom, I've never seen an app like it and I sure hope it gets some votes.

The problem with Blossom is that it really isn't a productivity app and I can't see it as a best seller for the "contest" .... these are two of the "hopes" for the submissions.

okay, this is more a featurette and we don't necessarily need a new app for this functionality but how about a (real) PRINT utility for blogs ... anyone reading this pass along to the big 5?

Yes, obviously we can print the page or just drag the text off but a) just "print" sends a lot of extraneous data and graphics ... and b) bloggers lose their marketing/branding if I drag your words off so how about a nice compromise.

A REAL print function that prints:

A nice SMALL logo and perhaps a your sponsor - but SMALL.

The URL.

A formatted text.

If photos are included, an option to print or skip them.

The WSJ.com one is nice.

Thanks!

I'm a big fan of Mori (and Hog Bay Notebook, before it). I use it for keeping track of ToDos (which often have extra info, links, or files associated with them that I use Mori to manage), writing drafts of anything (I have a 200+ page manuscript organized by chapter in another Mori notebook, again with extra pictures, links, etc stuffed into it), and just capturing random ideas.

The Mori link isn't dead. Try this: right-click the Download Mori button and choose "Download Link Target" (if you're using Camino) or "Save Link As" (in Firefox) or the equivalent command of your browser.

I downloaded Mori successfully, but it's not a product I see myself getting much use out of...anyone here have much experience with it? Is it really worth using?

As far as the MDA contestants go, I'm really liking Hijack. I follow a few forums, and it's always a pain to remember where I left off, which threads I was really paying attention to, etc.

So something that does my remembering for me, now that's something I'd pay for!

I totally agree with your coice for Blossom. It's one of the most innovative and different apps in the bunch. Sadly most of the others are just slightly different takes on known things or really obvious things. Here's hoping that "My Dream App 2" will have more creative and innovative entries, right from the beginning.

Runners up: Cookbook and Hijack.
