Grammarly just enabled Grammarly Go on my account. I think that’s cool and could prove to be handy occasionally. Grammarly isn’t perfect, far from it, but for someone like me who’s not an English native, it helps a lot. Now, with Go, I feel even more in good company for all my writing. I get 500 requests per month with my subscription, which is way more than enough. Are any Grammarly users out there?

The previous sentence is a false statement, Grammarly Go rewrote it for me. 😂

I have pulled the trigger: the concierge at Ghost(pro) is already working on importing my Substack content. It’s another nail in the coffin for Substack. If all goes well, bye bye Substack this weekend.

I must admit that this one is mostly an impulsive decision compared to my exit of WordPress. The migration is much more simpler compared the moving out of WP. In the end, I know I won’t regret it. Moving between platforms shouldn’t be a source of anxiety.

Matt, the founder of the WriteFreely ecosystem, recently wrote a promising post: It’s become clear over time that in order to make WriteFreely (and Write.as) as useful as it can be, it needs to have a much more unified experience. … I don’t think it makes sense for our self-hosted product to be … read more

And now, I’m seriously considering closing my Substack account and migrating this to Ghost (using their excellent concierge service). 🤔

Blank. At first, I thought it was a joke. It’s not.

In my Friday Notes edition #102, I shared my thoughts about my last four months without Twitter and how calm and quiet my digital life has become. I even wrote that I might ignore Bluesky. But that was last week. Well, it didn’t take long to contradict myself! As you might have guessed, I’m now on … read more

Today, I unexpectedly came across this announcement from Micro.blog: Highlights are now synced to Readwise.io, provided that you have an account with them and that you are on an Micro.blog Premium plan! How cool is that! I immediately configured my Readwise.io connection in the Bookmarks section and … read more

Just curious here, is anyone paying OpenAI to get one of their apps (like Raycast AI) to work with ChatGPT?

I’m currently testing Little Snitch mini. I had the Little Snitch app on my radar for a while, but this week they released what could be a better & lighter solution for me. The problem? As an IT guy, I like to know what is happening in my machines, and this little piece of well-crafted software could be the answer. So far, I really like what I’m seeing. It makes me think of Flighty from a visual design perspective. It could replace a portion of Stats, an open-source replacement for iStats Menu. I’ll decide once I’m back from vacation.

👉 I’ve been testing iA Presenter for a short while, and boy, I like this app. It’s not that often that we get new native apps on the Mac these days. I wonder if it is built with AppKit or other tech. Back in the day, before using Ulysses, I was a fan of iA Writer for its simplicity. iA Presenter feels so familiar and yet so rightly different. I’m impressed.

Now, looking for a use case for it! 🤔

I find Rewind to be very fascinating. Now, it comes with ChatGPT integration where I can ask for a summary of the things that I worked on last Friday, for example. It’s a great way to document my numeric life. There is a free-tier, but at 10$ a month for the paid tier, I mean, it’s a lot of money. Anyone tried it?

I’ve been working on this for a while and now I feel it’s time to share with the world. Follow this link, then expand each question to read the answer. It was a lot of fun to put together. This site is going to be updated as new micro-workflows are documented or tweaked. This document is now joining … read more

I’ve invested so much of my time into Craft, since I left Notion. I never really left Notion, actually, but my usage of this app dramatically dropped. Only a few very limited use cases were left under the Notion umbrella. Today, I tried something in Notion for a project at work. I’m blown away to see how Craft is so far behind compared to Notion for things like databases, integration via APIs and general flexibility.

Sure, Notion has been around for much longer. Yet, I secretly wish I could use the best of both worlds: the elegance of Craft built on top of the robust Notion foundation. I’m actively looking at use cases that I could do in Notion to keep it alive somewhere in my workflow.

Hey, just a reminder that this invite is still open if you are curious about Wavelength, a secure and simple messaging service. We’re currently 26 nice people in there! Come on and join! You can leave at any given time!

The maker behind ToolBox Pro has passed away, as reported here and there. It’s very sad. I recently re-installed this utility on my devices for a shortcut project I started working on. There are some features in ToolBox Pro that I could use, but now I’m not so sure. What will happen to this app? Is this developer account be terminated and when? Or maybe someone is going to take over?

After reading Gruber’s article about Wavelength, I decided to try it. I’m not sure I require another messaging solution. Besides using Apple’s iMessage and Telegram to get news from Ukraine, the rest of my messaging app usage is anecdotic. So, what are my thoughts about this? The initial few moments … read more

Testing the latest Micro.blog beta with picture upload. This is a screenshot of the current list of threads on Wavelength (invite link). 😎

For those who are (very) curious about Wavelength. This in an invite link to join a private group. It is called “Microbloggers”. You’re welcome.

Why a dedicated music app for Apple Music Classical? When we first learned that Apple would launch a different app for Apple Music Classical, I was surprised and wondered why not add a big tile in its current Apple Music app. Apple explains this in more detail here about the reason:

Classical music is different. It has longer and more detailed titles, multiple artists for each work, and hundreds of recordings of well-known pieces. The Apple Music Classical app is designed to support the complex data structure of classical music.

I get it. It makes sense. Now, here is another question: could there be a need to create more “genre-dedicated” apps offering different browsing and listening experiences? How much could an app be different for electronic music? How about creating an app dedicated to music videos? All of these apps could tap the Apple Music back end. This needs more time to think about.

Oh, no iPad app, at launch, really?

Notion releases buttons. The world goes wild🤯. Seriously, I came a cross this announcement on YouTube this morning and god I never thought buttons could be that useful in such a tool. I’m not holding my breath for such a thing in Craft, but yeah, I’m already thinking about a pretext to bring back Notion into my workflow just for the kick of using this🙃.
