I've finally realized why blogging is so important for me. It's because I believe people should have a way to use creative expression to find their people newsletter.tomcritchlow.com/archive/taki...

I've seen folks hacking the remarkable... Wonder if it's possible to have a document that shows annotations from two users. Maybe the doc syncs nightly or something, with different users showing up as different colors ?

Having a lot of fun with Little Futures season 3 so far! littlefutures.substack.com/p/lf15-knowl...

What is the work of remembering? littlefutures.substack.com/p/rememberin...

Hoo boy this is good: tim.blog/2025/03/06/t...

Little Futures - delightful provocations about the future from @itsbdell.bsky.social and me - is back for season 3! The latest: Family Futures littlefutures.substack.com/p/lf13-famil...

One thing wrong with Google's AI overviews: they've shipped the UX from an academic paper! Excerpt from my conversation with @tomcritchlow.com

Little Futures (a series of provocations and inquiries into futures) is coming back for season 3! Written by me and @itsbdell.bsky.social look out for the first issue next week: littlefutures.substack.com/p/little-fut...

Great writing www.astralcodexten.com/p/the-colors...

So commento has finally given up the ghost. Anyone built bluesky comments in a box yet? Ideally something like this I can just drop into my site: graysky.app/blog/2024-02...

Is Google slurping up all the pirated content for llm training too or did they Gemini 2.5 "legit"? Do we know or are we just assuming they're all doing the same sketchy things?

What's the best designed buttondown newsletter? Looking for inspiration to relaunch my personal newsletter....

A proposal and a prototype for (a better) future of search: tomcritchlow.com/2025/03/21/b...

"Our innovations become trampolines for our desires" Lovely piece from Tina fakepixels.substack.com/p/jevons-par...

Hordes of people listlessly roaming the flat planes of our networks trying to shake sensemaking out of random posters like ducklings who imprinted on a woodchipper

Very much into this vibe from @laurel.bsky.social pbsoftheinternet.org

Quoteback PSA 🚨 Yesterday Chrome disabled Quotebacks for a lot of people. I need to rewrite the extension to be V3 compatible but in the meantime... (embeds still work fine) So long as your Quoteback extension is disabled, not removed you should be able to recover your saved items. Instructions:

Probably shouldn't. But....... Maybe?

still grateful for rss — even in 2025, a great way to read a bunch of crap by cranky old bloggers!

A staggering work of blogging genius... Begins with reps, reps, reps. I was curious how John Cutler got started writing online and went back in the archives. Only to discover that he wrote 423 blog posts before he even started his substack A Beautiful Mess... Always be writing...

Love this talk from Aaron. Makes me think more deeply about the promise of the web and the challenges it has in helping you revisit things... www.aaronland.info/weblog/2025/...

Look, @robinsloan.com is my friend, and I know I weight his thoughts heavily. But you have to read this essay about the conundrum LLMs present to the writers and humanists among us. So much to learn in here. www.robinsloan.com/lab/is-it-ok...

Love love love to see indie consultants yearnotes. Here's Gautam's one year on the road: www.snowbird.global/a-year-of-em...

"Know the wolves that hunt you. In time, they will be the dogs that bring your slippers." This is a balm.

"The program exists for the goals, not the members" Quietly radical stuff from the inspiring @craigmod.com Here's to the next 6 years and 5+ books ❤️ craigmod.com/essays/membe...

Idly imagining that @genmon.fyi does a Kickstarter to sell off custom cursors for his loyal fans. Instead of a flag emoji you'd get a favicon for your website visible to others as you browse the site...

I have two things to share with you today. First, we're starting a publishing company. Second, I wrote a book about computing, which you can preorder starting today!

Robin Sloan on bluesky 😍 @robinsloan.com And what a banger of a link just shared in his newsletter. Of goblins and Christmas and AI and librarians (and the Internet of course) davidallengreen.com/2024/12/twel...

Love this formulation of artist publishing: www.newsletter.anemone.studio/p/artist-pub...

Anyone know how to solve this error trying to push to Github? Googling it seems the most common cause is files being too large. This push has ~100 files in it but they're all text .md files, the total size is still v small? Any ideas?

Catch-23 too catch, too furious

never a bad time to return to @kissane.bsky.social's Meta in Myanmar series erinkissane.com/meta-in-myan...

I love when talented people redesign their personal websites. This is a good one. henry.codes

"Dreams in progress" from @elan.bsky.social - love this thoughtful meditation on dream clients (and actually a nice overview of the current state of brands) Elan is the best. Go work with him offmenu.substack.com/p/dreams-in-...

Today seems as good a day as any to bump this: erinkissane.com/meta-in-myan...

This looks cool!

Amazing to see good people thriving in indie world.... 🙌

i'd like to create the opposite of the permalink — a link that's always intentionally shimmering, changing its characters every second as if being lightly blown by the wind

In the future asking an llm to make the code better will result in it posting it to HN where a bunch of nerds will delightfully miss the point and start making the code better for you 🤣 news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4258...

Good mantra

Been thinking about this more and more and I think secrets are going to be one of the defining features of the AI age
