The little ones. The thoughts and comments which are low friction and created in a heartbeat as they occur.

I used to love using Notational Velocity back in the day, I didn’t know that nvUltra was a thing. I’d love to return to the simplicty of that app for notes.

What’s Good About the Arc Browser… A really interesting take on the Arc Browser which is a browser that continues to fascinate me with it’s experimentation and UI. For some reason I can’t get it to fit into my work flow easily. I might need to give it more time, but I think a large part of the reason I can’t get it to stick is because I like apps. When it comes down to it, I would rather use a Mac app than a web app.

Lovely cocktails to start dinner this evening. Had a delicious feast of Bao and BBQ with Bao bread and butter pudding to finish!

More to do app explorations, came across an app called TaskFlow which handles lists and kanban but in a native app this time. No shortcuts though…

I’m down the rabbit hole again. TickTick has been downloaded and looks promising. Kanban mode, list mode, calendar integration for time blocking, shortcuts that work on macOS… playing will ensue later.

I’ve been using Todoist for the last few weeks. I like it’s ability to have projects in lists or as a kanban style board. I really dislike it’s inability to work with shortcuts on the Mac. Anyone know of a similar to do app that has boards and lists together?

An interesting post that sums up how exactly how I feel about these new AI writing tools that are appearing in apps like Craft and Notion. It will be a long time before anything can replace a human actually doing the work of writing something new.

Over the weekend I saw someone say that students will never have to write an essay again. I disagree. The art of the essay is not about the writing, it is about the thinking and understanding that goes on behind it. AI writing tools will never be able to replace that.

Trying to customise a Micro.blog theme, but I can’t tell if it’s not working or if Safari on iPad caches too aggressively. Should’ve bought my aging MacBook Pro.
