#199: We Basically Stopped Researching

Today we share the story of the day our email stopped working and how we fixed it in a hurry. (Spoiler: We threw money at the problem.) We weigh the advantages of free services versus paid services, and talk about what to do when you discover that you’ve outgrown a free service. We also list some of the third-party services we rely for both Release Notes and our personal businesses. Release Notes 2017 We’re happy to announce that Release Notes 2017, the third edition of our conference, will be happening October 16-18, 2017 – and this time we’re taking the show on the road to Chicago! We’re really excited about the move to Chicago and the extra opportunities that the change in venue will provide. More details will be announced on the conference website at 2017.releasenotes.tv and on our mailing list in a month or two. In the mean time, mark your calendars. We hope to see you there! Mailing List Every month there are more great articles and content about the business of Mac and iOS development than we have time to discuss on the show.
