Hi text expanding friends! I’m Maddy Osman, founder of The Blogsmith content agency, LinkedIn Learning instructor, and bestselling author.

But most importantly — mom to a little. So I need all the help I can get when it comes to getting a little more productivity out of my day, and TextExpander helps a lot with that.

Great to meet you all and I’d love to connect on LinkedIn.

Looking forward to learning all of of you on how you’re using TextExpander!

Hey there! I’ve been using Text Expander for the last 6 years and I love it.

I’m ~5 years into building Puzzle (https://puzzleapp.io/) as the Founder & CEO — helping ops teams diagram and visualize their complex processes & systems.

I’ve always had a passion for where organizational design meets operational efficiency — I love finding new ways to get teams working together with the big (operational) picture in mind.

:star2: How I can help: I’m happy to share my knowledge on all things ops tools — no-code automation, AI sales tools, CRM, you name it (the SaaS category). I’ve vetted, configured, and implemented hundreds of them and happy to share insights on best-in-class tools.

I’m based in St Petersburg, FL, but more often working remote from everywhere but there :joy:

Happy to be part of such a polished group of operators!

Looking forward to networking with you all!

Welcome to the community! Just had to pop in and geek about St. Pete! I went to high school at Seminole High and still have family living there. Super small world, haha! :wave:

Hey friends! :waving_hand:

I’ve been a HUGE TextExpander fan since about 2013 when I heard about it on the Mac Power Users podcast. I use it dozens of times a day and love getting the usage reports emailed to me every week. :nerd_face:

Glad to be here!

Hello everyone!

My name is Helmut Hauser, and I am a Professor of Soft Robotics and Morphological Computation at the University of Bristol (UK).
However, I am also very passionate about productivity (especially in the academic context), and I blog regularly on my webpage http://www.worksmartandberemarkable.com.

Looking forward to connecting with people and sharing exciting ways to use TextExpander to make life easier.

It’s not super glamorous but one I use the most is pasting the contents in the clipboard in plain text.

I often need to copy text from the web, email, documents, etc. and I find myself just wanting the plain text.

This solves that for me, beautifully!

Hi all,

I’m Tonya Engst. In a previous chapter of my life, I edited several editions of “Take Control of TextExpander,” an ebook previously published by TidBITS Publishing. Currently, I’m employed full-time at Cornell University and I edit text for websites, PowerPoints, and PDFs that is written by academics but meant to be read by regular people. I also do a lot of collaborating with designers and web developers so that the text looks and behaves as it should when it is published.

I’m not a fancy TextExpander user, but I use it every day to type repetitive text, and I especially love it when I’m collaborating over Zoom and my colleagues can see the text expanding as we go.

So good to have you here, @TonyaE! I wouldn’t be here if not for TidBITS.

Greetings, beautiful humans!

I’m Paul. I’ve been a user since the Textpander days. For kicks, I just looked at my 2024 stats and saw that on a single day in November I expanded 116 snippets.

I’m curious: how are nested snippets counted in these stats?

I work for a DJ company and life would be hell if I did not have TextExpander as one of my primary tools.

Thanks to the team.

Hey Paul, great to have you here! I checked with engineering, and nested Snippets do not count in your stats.

How do you use TextExpander at your job?

You could have gone with “Rextexpander” as your username! :wink:

Hello everyone! My name is Kyle, and you can usually find me somewhere on the internet as macfixer. I am an IT professional, and have been using TextExpander 3, which puts it somewhere around 2011. What a ride!

Hi, I’m Alex and I’m a freelancer project manager. I first started using TextExpander in 2020 after going full-time freelance, and I use it often. I came to this community primarily to share my knowledge.

If I could only bring one item with me to a desert island, it would be a knife.

My hobbies include home automation, hiking, and coffee.
