Amazing. I've long thought about doing this exact product, so glad you executed - I think it's a great idea. It looks like through shortcuts a user can likely interface with the Apple "focus" modes, which makes for an iOS like experience.
Of course should be baked into the OS itself... so does this need any permissions to work? I don't trust you enough to install it so that would be nice to be clear on.

I followed your search instructions - and skimmed a few hundred of the 1 star reviews, the only 2 I could find that were positive are the ones you mentioned. So I'm not sure this is as much an issue as you indicate?
That review saying "ADVERTISEMENT" is not because they are stating the review is an advert, it's because where they copy/pasted it from includes the alt text of an advert.

This is the main reason. Twenty years ago it was very hard to get your message as Government out there to the people, with media being the only conduit to do so, of course with their own agenda. Now if you want to communicate a point, or refute something, you can hop on Twitter and sort it out.

I agree, still running a 12" 2015, it's an incredible machine that just doesn't feel as though it has been replaced. Makes the Pro and Air feel like heavy weights.

It's important to be skeptical about this, but it's somewhat fun to entertain as a way of neutralising any potential attack lines for upcoming elections.
So far: * Buses * Models * Bridges

This isn't assuring to read at all. I'm trying to build and still relying heavily on DO, for what is becoming thousands in profit quite quickly. Frankly, I'm very uninterested in resolving a problem in hosting - mostly because it's boring, but because DO seems nice to use in every other way.
On the other hand - I'm becoming increasingly aware of the inevitable Twitter-social-media-pile-on for any company ever.

For a little diversity on tools, if you're looking for something quick that others can access the data easily - Google Apps script in a Google Sheet can be quite useful.

I found this a great read and immensely useful, but the styling to pull out words/phrases in bold felt really distracting, and above all unnecessary.
Though it might be Chrome on Win 7, which makes fonts generally look awful.

Bredin's 1983 The Affair is really seen as the most thorough account. My favourite reading of the affair is actually In Search of Lost Time, as Proust shows the split in society during this period over the second and third (perhaps the fourth too I think?) volumes.

Jay-Z is fairly well known to have reached considerable wealth prior to Reasonable Doubt. The 'Classic Albums: Reasonable Doubt' doc covers this quite well. The route of selling 'In My Lifetime' out of his car was one in turn that he escaped.

If we start to question artists morally then very quickly a lot of significant work and artists should 'abandon the scene'. From Lennon to Wagner, Ferdinand-Celine to Bill Murray, Polanksi via Woody Allen, to Chris Brown to Kanye (probably the mildest on this shopping list).
