European ideas,worth reading.
Practical guides for choosing excellent software made across Europe.
Sketch's Mac License Has No Workspace
The $120 Mac-only license is the native editor, one year of updates, files on disk. Collaboration, the web app, iOS preview, and the 30-day trial are not in that box. Florence already needs Sequoia.
Raycast Pro Is Five Hundred Credits
On 10 September Thomas Paul Mann moved Raycast AI from rate limits to credits. Pro stays $10. The model is 500 credits a month. v1 still runs at zero until 1 October. Then it stops.
Inoreader Intelligence Defaults to GPT-4o-mini
Help is one sentence: OpenAI's GPT-4o-mini. Pro can pick Mistral or Anthropic as a platform. Your own API key is the Intelligence reports add-on or Team Intelligence. Free is 150 feeds and no summaries.
Cinema 4D's Shop Is Subscription
On 12 September the Maxon shop printed Cinema 4D at $839 a year, Redshift included. Monthly is $109. There is no perpetual SKU. The 14-day trial is Maxon One. Students pay $60 for a year of the suite, not for commercial work.
Ableton's Trial Is Suite
The 30-day trial is Live 12 Suite. Stem split, Max for Live, Operator. Buy Intro or Standard after it, open that Set, and saving and exporting turn off. Rent-to-own is Suite too.
Aiven's Helsinki Postgres Starts at a Hundred and Ten
Pin UpCloud Helsinki and Free, Developer, and Hobbyist vanish. Startup is $110 a month, not the $75 on the generic table. Google's Finland region still sells Hobbyist at $19. The invoices are dollars. The processor is in the United States.
