I wish I could start over my trial when my stylus is supported.

I find it interesting that you included a fuzzy quick-open. One of the pain points with CtrlP in a large project - even with fast hardware - is the synchronous building of its filesystem cache. I would be interested in trying another implementation that lives inside of an app (where it can be dispatched asynchronously).
All in all, a nice looking app! I'm interested in giving it a shot!

I have a couple of things I'd like:
- A [Divvy](http://mizage.com/divvy/)-style grid. When I used Divvy, this really made a dramatic difference in my window management - Rich Spaces/Mission Control support. It'd be great to send windows to certain spaces, make spaces for windows, etc.
I'm excited to write a Hydra config for myself, it seems great!

I first tried Ira's [mackup](https://github.com/lra/mackup), which syncs files to Dropbox. Its catch-all approach scared me, though, as it backs up `fish` history by default. I decided to move to something different.
I ended up basing my dotfiles setup on the GNU [stow](https://www.gnu.org/software/stow/) utility. Here's how it works:
- In `~`, I have a git-managed directory `dotfiles`
- For every new app I use, I make a new directory in `dotfiles`. For example, `vim`, `fish`, etc.
- I run `stow` on all these directories, and it symlinks everything into place
I ended up rolling my own update script, but it's pretty trivial. I also made heavy use of Homebrew brewfiles, which can be used to define what commands you would like to run through Homebrew. I also use [Homebrew Cask](http://caskroom.io/) to install apps.
In the end, I now have the exact same configuration on all my machines. For work, I have a separate branch, which has other fish functions / utilities. I recently got a new computer, and I ran the `update.sh` script while I went to lunch. When I came back, my machine was ready to go.
Take a look at my setup [here](https://github.com/peterhajas/dotfiles).

Nor do I understand why I'd use it. Do lots of people post GPG encrypted messages to each other on gist?

I recall an HN thread where the author of 2048 claimed to have never heard of Threes until 2048 got popular. His was a clone of [1024](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/1024!/id823499224?mt=8).

It'd be neat to reduce the entropy of possible photos by using EXIF data (location, etc.)
