Guidelines

Thanks for submitting to a Finer Things site! This is not the place to find news or even analysis. We like to celebrate the surprise features and UI gems that developers slave to their products we love. We are obsessed with productivity and polish.

We hope to approve most submissions, but there is no guarantee. To ensure your chances are high, check your post for spelling, grammar, and punctuation, as we will not approve posts with blatant errors.

Keep things concise. Just post the interesting thing you found, and use good judgement as to whether you need to fluff with context. Usually you do not. Link the company or product name instead of writing a paragraph, and our readers should know how to quickly catch up on a topic elsewhere when they need to. If in doubt, read some posts and pay attention to things like tone and length to get an idea of how to craft your submission.

It is very bad form to submit posts about a product or company that you work for. Do not do it, even if you include a disclosure. Submissions containing scam, phishing, or spam sites will be rejected, and the submitter banned permanently.

By submitting content to Finer Things sites, you give them the right to publish it indefinitely. However, you still own your original content and are free to republish it anywhere you please.

By submitting content to Finer Things sites, you are also stating that you have the right to publish this content. We are not in the business of violating copyrights, NDAs, or other contracts, and we will gladly remove any content that truly violates such a claim.
