This week on our blog: a little love for what @mb coined “single-serving apps.”
We canvassed ourselves, and a few friends of the team, for some of our favorite examples.
👋 Hey! We’re having a busy summer, but we wanted to highlight 2 more apps we’ve been using since people seem to enjoy learning about things we’re finding useful and fun!
One is iOS native/works on MacOS, the other is a web app, and both are art and design-centric.
Sam is awesome and so is this new project from him. ❤️ 😝
Archival work is important and often thankless. Equally important are the efforts people put into presenting archived content in a way that's easy for others to interact with and learn from!
legacystore.app
this is not technically a launch announcement since I'm still goofin around with things but I've been working on legacystore.app, a massive index of old iOS apps on archive.org. It's got historical charts and you can visit/install directly on older devices, too.
I was talking with Tom, our Client Partnerships Director and resident golf guru, and the subject of “single-serving apps” came up: ones you rely on heavily during certain events and then don’t open the rest of the year. He cited The Masters app as a perfect example.
