That looks like a very different app; from the description:
> "Screenie is a revolutionary screenshot manager designed specifically for macOS Catalina. With Screenie, you can drag screenshots from your menubar，preview and drag images from the Screenie Panel, and even search the text inside your images!"
The last update was two years ago (which added support for macOS Monterey), and, apparently unlike Desktop Docs, it collects usage data and diagnostics.
Is that really impressive at this point? With all of the frameworks, cloud infrastructure, etc? And the resources of one of the biggest companies in the country? What’s impressive is that Meta would waste resources on this when their Oculus division is already such a disaster.
I’m not that old or insulated yet, and I work in tech. People with any business savvy or sense of digital culture should have known that it would fizzle out very quickly, as it has. This is not how things evolve. I’d recommend the book “The 22 Immutable Laws of Branding” if you don’t understand why. The network effects of this project are a hockey stick going in the wrong direction.
Yeah the flamewars between Mcdonalds and Wendy's accounts are epic. I'm sure they will be longtime Threads users. Unfortunately for my cadre of human based contacts, it is a complete desert. Everyone was intrigued for a week or so, some tried to keep it going a month later but we even have people that would benefit from leaving Twitter like AOC having abandoned the platform.

Is this a thing people are still finding novel these days? It was cute when Wendy's started posting tweets that appealed to millennials a decade ago, but these days I'm not gonna use an app where I'm just looking at a feed of cringey ads where social media managers try to look hip and with it by posting a big chungus meme.
Any time I open Threads, all I see are posts from brands (ads), engagement farming, and people posting about how Twitter is dead despite the fact that it's still where all the fun stuff is happening.
