Ultimate Notes App Showdown 📝🥊
We all take notes, jot things down, or keep our entire lives in an application. A habit that starts in school at an early age, and continues through university and into the workplace.
Notes technology has advanced a lot with the advent of Evernote. Today, we’ll compare two choice categories: electronic vs. paper.
Paper Technology
🔋 Unlimited battery life
🚫 Not waterproof
✏️ Font usually illegible
🔓 No built-in security
🏠 Hosted on premises
Notes Application
🌐 Syncs across devices
💧 Water resistant
🔎 Searchable
🔐 2 Factor authentication
📦 Hosted on AWS
We're a little biased, but notes apps win. Browse through the most popular Notes App Recommendations (an emoji-named app is #1 yet again). 🐻

Favorite apps you never actually use? 🤔
Lets face it, there are apps we reallllly want to start using, but never actually do. Most fitness apps, the app you just downloaded two days ago but haven't opened, and Not Hot Dog fall into this group.
A selection of well intentioned reviews:
Square Cash: "I love Square. I have two friends that use Square. Everybody else is on Venmo."
Bumpers: "Love this app. It's simple, easy to use, creative, fun... I respect it but I never use it."
Dropbox: "It's perfect...But somehow, I never find myself using it."
Ense: "Ense is like Twitter for audio. I dig its simple design but never think to use it."
Headspace: "I realllllly wanna start using it! It's been on my homescreen for 2 weeks. Haven't actually opened it."
Check out the fantastic list of products recommended by people who don't actually use them, and add your own! 😅

The Zuckerberg Shirt 👕
“I really want to clear my life to make it so that I have to make as few decisions as possible about anything except how to best serve this community.” – Mark Zuckerberg, on why he wears grey shirts.
If you've ever wanted to dress like Zuck, now you can. Mark's trademark grey shirts are custom made by fashion designer Brunello Cucinelli (and rumored to cost $900 each). But now, in the spirit of Insta, Snap, ⌘C, ⌘V, and other great innovations, an exact replica has been created! 🎉
Get the Zuckerberg Shirt and maybe you'll also be CEO of a major online advertising corporation.
P.S. Famous Outfits gives you Amazon links to outfits famous people are wearing, and the Spylight app lets you buy clothes you see on TV.

We invented (product) time traveling 🔮
Time travel is mathematically possible (according to the 5th Google search result on the topic). You can now also go back in time to explore the most popular products of the day on Product Hunt! 😺
Here's what we've learned using the technology so far:
On 11/24/2013 a "Ryan Hoover" hunted the first ever product. 👶
Overcast launched 3 years ago this week. 2 years ago Pocket Listen finished #1 (before it was acquired by Mozilla). Exactly a year ago we saw the most upvoted comment of all-time (before Jian Yang smashed the record pitching not hotdog). 🌭
Also...
You can now go back and see the top products for any year/month! Here are the most upvoted products for 2015, 2016, and 2017 (so far). 🏆
Share your favorite time machine discoveries in the comments thread. 🙌

Breaking: Apple launched a blog!
A few hours ago, Apple launched a journal (not a diary!) all about Machine Learning. While untypical for the secretive company, this isn’t their first foray into editorial content.
Our take: Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) will change computing and the way we live. To attract the best talent, Apple needs to be seen as a leader in the space. Good old fashioned blogging is a smart tactic to do so.
If you’re keen to learn more, subscribe to this weekly newsletter and spend your weekend diving into this directory of resources. If you’re starting from scratch, get an intro to MI/AL in a short 6 minutes.
P.S. We also recommend reading the Product Hunt & AngelList Blogs.✌️

Google Glass is back!! 🤓
Google Glass is back! And it found a home in a more useful place: the enterprise. It turns out that having a lightweight, hands-free wearable has benefits beyond pop culture memes and glasshole kitty swag.
We’ve waited a long time to augment our vision like the Holodeck in Star Trek, but it’s getting close. Keep your eye on the Microsoft Hololens, secretive Magic Leap (interestingly, backed by Google), and Snap’s next evolution of Spectacles. 🕶
In the meantime, browse Made with (Apple) ARkit to see the future, only a few months away. ✨

Explore your city on Hoodmaps 🗺😆
Over the weekend, serial maker (of the year winner) Pieter Levels launched his latest product, and it's pretty awesome.
Hoodmaps is a crowdsourced map that divides cities into categories. When you get to a new city and want to know where to go (besides the touristy stuff, marked as red), pull up the map and get a quick overview of what a city is really about. It's especially great for locals.
Early users have spent hours marking up hundreds of cities. In San Francisco (above) 647 people have drawn 105k spots, correctly marking the Mission as Hipster (orange), SOMA as offices (blue), Pacific Heights, Twin Peaks, and the rest of SF is expensive (green). You can also tag interesting spots, like Peter Thiel's house near the Palace of Fine Arts.
Check out your city on Hoodmaps, and Pieter's opening comment on where the idea came about. 🙌
