There are hundreds of posts about those sorts of applications in the archives[0], but the focus of the site tends to drift about a lot depending on what I'm up to/interested in at a given time.

That's definitely a problem, and after chatting with some readers on Twitter recently I'm making more of an effort to 'translate' jargon and buzzwords in software descriptions.

I've posted about all the software you mention bar toxic but, as you discovered, Tumblr's built-in search doesn't work terribly well. I'll add a Duck Duck Go search box this afternoon. (It's been on my todo list for, er, just over two years now...)
This looks like it'd be useful for any group that relies on donations from members, public collections, &c. - seems odd to limit the number of potential users by pitching exclusively to churches.
I've never understood why people think that targeting churches is "limiting." There are far more churches than there are startups. And there are millions of people in those churches.
Many companies focusing on selling tools/software exclusively to startups. Selling to startups/tech crowd is in vogue, but it's much smaller market than selling to churches.
Agreed. Their almost exclusive emphasis on churches seemed odd, because the service looks like it could be useful for virtually any dot-org.

Hazel can do all of those things except add stuff to iTunes without opening the application (unless you count moving files to the Add to iTunes directory).
Not entirely practical in the British winter, admittedly. And the lack of seat belts tends to worry passengers. But I always have an enormous grin on my face while driving, and it's absurdly cheap to run.
It looks great in portrait, but the big empty stripe on the right in landscape is a bit distracting - any reason why you're not using the full width of the screen?
This looks great - I've been putting off making changes to a couple of themes for ages because of the head-deskyness (the constant cutting and pasting is especially irritating).
