Hello everyone and welcome back to the Software Pulse
It is for your host, Francesco D'Alessio again, and welcome back to another news segment now
It's going to be pretty much a roundup week of things. We've already sort of featured before
But hopefully it gives you a nice roundup of what's happened in pretty much all the news for productivity software
Now just before we dive in guys a huge. Thank you to Setapp this week for sponsoring the Keep Productive YouTube channel
It's an honor to have them as a sponsor
You can check them out in my full review below as well as get access to their service
You can basically rent mac apps and there's over 120+ of them
And in that set monthly rate you get access to all of them, which makes it super easy and super convenient
Also another announcement before we get started. I've just launched a Things 3 course on Skillshare
so if you are umming and ahhing
About Things 3 whether you should get it and invest that money and maybe this course will give you a bit of an outline
It's only 29 minutes long and it will give you a rough guideline of how to use it for projects and managing all sorts
So it's better before you buy I guess it's sort of like a little taster into the experience
You can find that one blow for two months free Skillshare premium and you'll be able to get that course there, too
So guys, let's jump into these software news
So this week Evernote as you may know have introduced a new brand and mission statement
this was a big announcement at that the CEO Chris O'Neil actually put out and
Of course, it's being received sort of mixed opinions
A lot of people were saying why are they focusing on their branding when they should be focusing on their product improvement?
Where some people are actually very happy with this change and it's a some many people were finding this a good step forward for Evernote
Now in other news to do is to have touted and sort of teased their new
Redesign which they're planning. Obviously the application hasn't been fully redesigned in since
2015 and I remember actually seeing that one and actually doing a video on it
It was good to do his ten
I believe and it sort of rolled out across all of the brands and looked great
But of course as you can imagine there looking and working on a new one
They've also introduced on the iOS beta the new scheduler as well. So you can actually organize your activities in advance
So do stay tuned for that one for those IRS lovers and of course, we'll be rolling out all around
They're also working on dark theme and a couple of people in spotting it which has been awesome. So
For those who don't know Trello stride or Atlassian have obviously merged with slack
So slack now owns at stride and of course
They will be getting rid of HipChat very soon due to that acquisition
now there is also a bit of more of Trello news a Trello day in
2018 is coming up and I will be attending
I'm very lucky to be heading over to Barcelona for a little bit of a trip and also to
Enjoy the conference is going to be there here are the updates and report you guys on what is happening?
So I will be doing a vlog on that today. So do stay tuned for that one
So the real big news that has hit a lot of people is Newton is leaving the email
Market now Newton mail has been around for a fair while now around about two years
But previously as cloud magic since 2013 so a bit of a long-standing weasels in the community now
Of course, there are plenty of alternatives out there
I've don't you just done a video on alternatives and we'll be doing full round ups of the other applications
Very very soon
Now talking about email applications poly mail has introduced three new
Experiences comments mentions inside of email so that you can communicate with team members
This is something that spark actually had previously but this is something that poly mail have just added to their paid experience
They've also got now a slack integrations so you can get nudges when new emails come in and other people are working on those emails
Now moving on to a new Trello powerup that's being introduced Wistia
Did a conference last week they are video?
marketing company
But basically they have this product that installs as a powerup inside of Trello allowing you to see all of the statistics on a video
So I thought this might be helpful for those video marketers out there or even marketers looking to sort of embed research into their Trello
Boards now moving on to Basecamp three, obviously, I don't talk much about Basecamp
But I will be talking about them very soon because I want to do a full review of them
They have added recurring events for calendars
So inside of the experience you can now have recurring and repeat events or activities
And that's you are working on which is very helpful
now for those who don't know instapaper is sort of hitting a bit of a blockade a couple of weeks ago with the GDP our
Announcement but Nahum now separated from Pinterest which I believe they were acquired by
now Instapaper now launched our premium which is priced at two dollars ninety nine a month or twenty two twenty nine dollars 99 a
year
but the premium sort of allows you to go a bit deeper with your
Instapaper experience now for those who know Google one is now rolling out across the US slowly
This is a basically a storage experience allowing you to
Essentially take all of your drive pricing plans and sort of embed them into one. So it's now sort of this
Communicated a lot easier by Google services now talking about storage services one
Drive is now officially announced
Automatically backing up your PC's document pictures and desktop folders
Which is a nice addition and I can imagine a lot of onedrive users are loving that
Now to round things off this week here on the key productive YouTube channel twist
Which is a real-time communication - that is developed fine duyst
Who also great to do is have an added?
Dimensions which is allowing you to essentially mention people
