    After reading Viticci's tome on Pythonista last week, I finally decided to sit down and play around with the app a little bit. My first project was a relatively simple one: open a web browser with all of my Pinboard links that were marked as read later.

11. Quick Hit - 4 Apps You Should Use But Probably Don't
