The Mobile Spoon

This one started as a grumbling tweet after wasting my morning coffee break cleaning up over 7,500 screenshots from my iPhone photos library.  Took me a while to realize I'm facing a real problem:  The comments I got for the tweet and a short Google Search made me realize more people suffer from bad screenshots management on iPhones.  It was the evidence that this is a real pain that needs to be solved once and for all! Situation: too many screenshots I take iPhone screenshots all the time for many reasons:  Exploring products or researching competing apps   When opening bugs and sending them to my team Sharing funny chat moments with friends Catching unique FaceTime moments Funny moments taken from videos  Many more...  The result? Close to 10,000 screenshots on my iPhone...  Problem: no easy way to clean up my screenshots Apple made it easy to see all screenshots in a “Screenshots” album - but the album is overflowed with all kinds of screenshots, so, it’s basically impossible to

Unhappy with ChatGPT standard app? Feel like getting much more out of this amazing Generative AI technology but the tool slows you down, or is not friendly enough?  Check out these alternatives/additional tools to get more out of ChatGPT: run multiple prompts in parallel, add fresh data to your chat results, and get inline links to the original sources - enjoy!  1. ChatGPT + fresh content + source links = Bing! Wow! Microsoft has been pushing Bing and Edge aggressively since the AI craze started, and I'm impressed with the results! I installed Microsoft Edge on both my Mac and iPhone and activated the integrated Chat module. So now I have the new Bing (which is basically ChatGPT on steroids) as a standalone app, available on desktop and mobile - for free!  Bing adds some nice features to the chat experience such as inline links, sources, and follow-up questions - those extra features provide a superior user experience to the standard (and pretty lame) ChatGPT. Here's what happe

  Ever worked with a CEO or a founder who went so far with their vision that it made you lose faith in them?  Or maybe it was you caught in a situation where your employees didn't share your vision?  It's called The Visionary's Curse ; a phenomenon that refers to the tendency of visionary leaders, entrepreneurs, and product managers to become overly focused on their product vision and ignore important feedback and data points that may contradict their assumptions and indicate that their product is not meeting customer needs or is not viable in the market. “Being a visionary is a blessing and a curse, you're blessed to see things other people are not able to see but you are cursed to sit in it alone” -- David Banner The curse is real and dangerous   It takes endurance and persistence to build successful products, but going overboard can backfire in various ways:   Leaders get caught up in their own assumptions and ignore market feedback  The vision becomes too big to fee

Some things should not happen in a new workplace...  Entering a new workplace is a professional challenge, but it's also a tough social exercise.  Here are a few things you should NOT do in the first few weeks on the job:   1. Don't share your thoughts with anyone Keep a low profile.  Even if you see problems right away and want to jump in and fix them, try to keep your thoughts to yourself. Your coworkers may have been dealing with these issues for a while now, and don't need the opinion of an outsider who has yet to be there to understand the whole context.  Talking too soon will make you sound arrogant and make a bad first impression. So shut up.  Life tip: before you speak up, make sure you know the topic, know the audience and have something meaningful to say.  That's right, and as a new member, you probably don't know enough about the topic, don't know who you're talking to, and might say something stupid... So instead of speaking up, write down your

ChatGPT down? Use Poe.  It's getting harder to use ChatGPT's original web app due to crazy demand.  In my post, on how to get the most out of ChatGPT , I mentioned a few power tools to use ChatGPT on mobile such as Fred (previously called Alfred), Siri's voice command  (use Siri to talk to ChatGPT), and many more.  Today I would like to present to you an exciting alternative to ChatGPT, developed by Quora , that is not only available on mobile but also entirely unrelated to ChatGPT, which means it's always happily available when ChatGPT is "at capacity". It's called Poe (Platform for Open Exploration) and based on my tests so far it provides more comprehensive answers than ChatGPT, including explorable links , topics to expand on, built-in f ollow-up questions , and different flavors of AI answers.  Oh, and it's free.  Poe in action Now think about what will happen when Quora starts embedding those answers with its' proprietary data, generated
