Smile isn’t alone in discontinuing products. We discontinued BrowseBack in July 2007 but kept it running through July 2008. The computers of the time didn’t have enough power or storage to support BrowseBack. Unfortunately, imaging every web page you visited, even in the background, was really resource-intensive. BrowseBack won Best of Show at Macworld San Francisco 2006. Browseback was a cool idea, and it was unlike anything available at the time. BrowseBack (January 2006 – July 2008)Īt Macworld San Francisco 2006, we shipped BrowseBack, which offered a visual presentation of your internet search history, complete with full text search. We discontinued PhotoPrinto in April 2006. Nowhere near as many people wanted to do this as wanted to label CDs, DVDs, and packaging. Following DiscLabel, we thought we’d try to do for scrapbooking what we’d done for labeling CDs, DVDs, and packaging.Īt Macworld San Francisco 2005, we released PhotoPrinto, which made it easy to create albums of photos imported from iPhoto and to frame and decorate them. PhotoPrinto (January 2005 – April 2006)Īfter PageSender and DiscLabel, we figured we’d release a new product each year. It became obsolete as soon as Apple released an HTML color picker built in to macOS. I had completely forgotten about it until I wrote the post on PageSender. The first was HTMLColorPickerX, not long after PageSender was released. HTMLColorPickerX (July 2002 – March 2005) Here are their stories and some lessons we’ve learned. In addition to PageSender, DiscLabel, PDFpen, and TextExpander, Smile released some other products which didn’t exactly become household names. In this series we’re looking back at some of our history. On June 12, 2018, Smile celebrates our 15th birthday.
