The Case Against Everything Buckets
october 2010 by DennisLaumen
The Mac software ecosystem faces a plague. A plague of Everything Buckets. Indulge me.
If you search for “productivity” or “organization” software for the Mac, you’ll find variations on a particular type of application. These applications claim to be “your outboard brain” or “your digital filing cabinet” or similar. They go by many names: Yojimbo, Together, ShoveBox, Evernote, DEVONthink. There may be differences in their implementation and appearance, but these applications are all of the same sinister ilk. They are Everything Buckets.
