I’m not a fan of the tone in M.G. Siegler’s post. He frames it as though Apple has suddenly changed and is now actively silencing critics. But the only concrete example he gives is Apple declining an invitation to John Gruber’s The Talk Show. Ironically, Siegler

I haven't yet created a blogroll. They are simple, but somehow, I am caught in a conundrum: What's the purpose? Don't let the blogroll be the mechanism to exhibit that you read "intelligent" voices. That makes most blogrolls look the same. Make

I finished reading We Solve Murders by Richard Osman today. It's a quick read with an extremely weak plot. The story almost comes to a halt midway through, and hardly anything happens. The core plot does not progress; we only learn about some events in people's

A while ago, I and a few others from the Micro.blog community did a weekly roundup of posts shared and discussed on the timeline. I was reminded of one such post from 6 years ago recently. What saddened me was that most links mentioned in that digest are unavailable

I want to contribute to the list -- mainly to document ~~what has changed~~. * Automation: Shortcuts * Blogging: Kirby CMS ~~Micro.blog~~ * Bookmarks: Raindrop * Browser: Firefox ~~Arc~

I don't have a list of posts or a content feed anywhere here. Is this, then, even a blog? Many on the internet say no, and I find this extremely odd. If general sentiment is to be believed, the structure with some form of chronological list of posts

Make your writing workflow frictionless if you want to blog more. That means eliminating every additional step between your thoughts and the words on the editor. Intending a new post should take you directly to a blinking cursor. I lacked that with my default blog platform, which has been bothering

I have been writing a lot less recently, predominantly because I have to make a choice about where to write. Any hindrance between a thought and the place to put it down kills the post for me. So many posts have died a violent death in this urge to choose.

I have always loved the On This Day feature on my blog. But the fact that I had to visit it every day defeated the purpose of refreshing a page with posts from the past. It is for me to know what I was thinking back in time. I often

I love to read about people's writing workflows and get inspired by their choice of tools to capture thoughts. At the same time, I have a very simple workflow for publishing my posts. I write the thoughts quickly and save them as a draft. I then come back
