Friday Links: Product Edition
Here are the most interesting links this week from our product department (and elsewhere in Postlight). Thanks to Tyler Strand. Collated by Chloe Olewitz.
- “Vox Media veteran Josh Topolsky talks about The Outline”
Josh Topolsky discusses what most digital media companies get wrong, and…outlines how he’ll move to get things right in the industry with his new publication, The Outline. (via Kyle Suss) - “StoryBundle”
“StoryBundle is great if you ever wanted to own 10 more books you might never read.” Pay-what-you-want for an obscure array of “fantastic” eBooks. Here’s the Japanese Science Fiction bundle. (via Jeremy Mack) - “Facebook tests MSQRD selfie filters and opening your camera atop feed”
Do your favorite content sharing apps open the feed first, or the camera first? Each approach prioritizes a different feature, but users definitely have preferences. Matt said it best: “Wow facefilters in Facebook, they really dgaf!” (via Matt Quintanilla) - “Notion — Docs, wikis, tasks, seamlessly in one”
“I was just playing around with this for fun, and I was really impressed. It reminds me of the simplicity and power of workflowy with the clean design of something like dropbox paper.” (via Maxim Siebert) - “Instagram launches ‘Stories,’ a Snapchatty feature for imperfect sharing”
This debate has been raging in our internal office chats since news of “Stories” broke last week. “Has anyone else ripped off a feature from another product and actually fessed up to it like this? Great artists steal but they don’t also take a victory lap.” (via Matt Quintanilla)
