I saw this on Matt Birchlerโs blog, and then saw on Mastodon a multitude of people posting about their default apps in their own blogs. So I decided to jump on the trend, since it looks like this would be a fun one to do ๐ .
Most of my choices are oriented on trying out the private first focused products; Iโve been through my phase of trying a specific app for everything, but nowadays, Iโm settling down on things that actually work and donโt sell my data to others.
