Weekly Roundup 6 - Tiny Theme 3, Screen Recording, Coach Pitch Baseball
A major update to Tiny Theme with new features is expected to be released soon, alongside a recommendation for a powerful screen recording software and a celebration of a child’s baseball season.

I’m sure there’s some app/service for this. I want a communication app where two people can have multiple conversations active at once. Like Slack for couples. In a perfect world, Messages would allow it, but it doesn’t. Collaboration in Notes can kind of fill that gap, but not exactly. Suggestions?
A few more details here, but Godspeed (to do list app) is ridiculously good. I’ve tried everything from Things to Todoist to Omnifocus to Asana to Reminders and beyond. The developer did provide me with a discount code you can use as well. Trust me, it’s worth it.
