Released today, OmniFocus 3.13 provides a wide range of improvements to Omni Automation---perhaps most notably adding support for Speech Synthesis, but also a number of other improvements as well.
Ken Case, CEO, joins the show to break down his post-WWDC 2022 Roadmap.

And — the annual question — just how much work will we be doing this summer?
One of the predictable sources of news affecting our plans is Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference, so each year we leave space in our schedule to jump into that firehose of information—and when we emerge, we update our plans and share what we've learned about changes that might affect our roadmap.

It's probably no surprise that writing software is a somewhat difficult task. There's an unfathomable amount of iteration and detective work that goes into creating a product that feels intuitive for the new user, yet familiar to the ardent fan. Surprisingly, the art of crafting effective software documentation demands some of the exact same iteration and detective skills. Inserting helpful guidance at just the right point in the user conversation (without over-explaining) can be a tricky dance.
