Three Moments of Software Joy

I like it when software-writers pay attention to the little things.

  1. When changing credit card details in my Basecamp account, the system noticed that I also had a Highrise account and offered to update that at the same time. Thank you, 37signals.
  2. When I installed the new version of OmniFocus, it pre-selected the option to delete the installer files once it was completed. Thank you.
  3. When Miro TV updated itself to a new version, it re-started and continued playing the last video I watched from where we left off.

If I listed “Moments of Software Unjoy”, it’d go for pages…
