I wish Ghost would expand their support for what are called “social accounts.” Given our current situation, I find this approach short-sighted. I wish Mastodon and Bluesky received more attention for this type of configuration.

Must Have Features in a Read Later Service

Read later service for me should have these features and attributes.

  1. Be cloud-based to enable access and syncing across different devices and platforms.
  2. Support metadata (tags, folders & description).
  3. Offer a well-designed share sheet implementation on iOS and iPadOS.
  4. Offer a great browser extension.
  5. Offer a native mobile application.
  6. It should work well with my go-to RSS reader, Inoreader.
  7. Be good at data mobility. In other words, it offers a data export option.
  8. Support article summarization with generative AI.
  9. Should be free if possible.
  10. It must support all Apple platforms.

Inoreader check them all.

Can you say Chaps?

Intriguing new product coming from the makers of Craft: Chaps. It seems to be a conversational service where users can build their own AI-based agents. Not integrated with Craft in any way, at least for now. The demonstrated UI seems polished as we can expect from them, but sadly we don’t get to see how those agents are built. I think “Ch_apps_” would have been a better name than “Chaps”, though. I hope they don’t get too much distracted from Craft because it still needs a lot of work and long-lasting issues are yet to be addressed.

From my point of view, with recent security breach from the government members, more signs point to being much closer to a dictatorship than we are willing to admit. Many cabinet members are using Signal on purpose because they don’t want scrutiny, they don’t think they owe anything to the American people.
