@robbyburns Nice work! What is your process for replacing the placeholders before going into OmniFocus? Do you do that in Drafts?

I’m a terrible NFL fan. I forgot all about the Super Bowl the day of the game. Didn’t check who won until the afternoon on Monday. And only watched highlights today. Also, I’m (supposedly) a Chiefs fan. 🙈

In 2015, I read two books. Now I’m reading a book every two weeks. Here’s my side of the story behind Bookworm and how my view of books has changed in the last four years.

Here’s a trip down memory lane.

I have been watching a number of @curtismchale’s videos lately. And one of his latest on book notes struck a chord with me. I’m coming back to analog book notes.

Fountain pen goals right here. A few of these are overlaps in different colors, but I have one version of the Pilot, Lamy, and TWSBI pens. Does that mean I have a problem? 🤔 - 📸: @tinajan

The Sweet Setup has a new course on mind mapping! Maybe now is the time to bring it into my workflows.

This is starting to get a bit scary. Think about what would happen if you accidentally autofilled your email password in a username field.

I used to check in on the App Store daily to see the new articles. But since Apple Arcade came out, it’s mostly games anymore. Now I only open the App Store to update apps. Sorry, app developers.

I highly recommend developing this habit if you’re a @draftsapp fan and want to take control of your phone.
The “Pre-Launch Drafts” Habit

I’ve been hanging out on IRC lately. Outside of the normal developer channels, any recommendations for where to go?

I’ve seen some of these unknown-brand deals with cheap phones in the past. But it never occurred to me that there’s a reason they’re cheap.

I’m looking to add microblog and webmention support to a Wordpress site. Any plugin recommendations for doing so? I’d rather not build it as it looks like I need a Custom Post Type.

I failed as fast as you can fail. 🤷🏻♂️

We have a double 5.0 on @bookwormfm this week! I would highly recommend this one to anyone wanting to improve their gatherings.

I have been working my way off of Google’s services for almost two years now. Here’s what I’m using instead.

Notion users: if you decide to leave, how easy is it to get your data out in a usable format? I haven’t found anything that eases my mind.
Just updated my @Twitterrific muffles to exclude a bunch of political candidate names. Hopefully Twitter doesn’t make sad when I read it now. 😢
