I'm a people manager, not a techie, but I managed to build a widget, and I'm a bit chuffed with myself 😅

I'd love to know if you built it and what you use it for.
cc: @ellane - I thought this might pique your interest.
Switzerland actively participates in international #sanctions against #Russia
Yet today Swiss-registered #IA says, “You can now use our apps on devices where App Store is disabled” a wink-and-nudge that they're open to selling to Russia (since they didn't need to explicitly point that out if merely now selling on their site).
I changed my VPN to a Russia-friendly country, said I was in Russia and IA was more than happy to take my money for #iawriter
What say you, @ia ?
New post: The Markdown Link no. 35
Among today’s links are markdown editors Editorio, Byword, Marka and Magic Notebook. There’s also a quick look at AS Notes, which brings the power of knowledge management to VS Code

@mijenix Ich habe erstmal einen Sammelbeitrag gemacht, da liste ich die Rezepte und die kommen dann Stück für Stück, wenn ich Zeit habe.
Zumindest läuft das Bloggen vom iPad mit #WorkingCopy und #iAwriter jetzt super-smooth, das macht Lust aufs bloggen.
Content Blocks on #iAWriter are so useful.
I break my essay into three parts, then reference each in a main draft so I'm not scrolling through thousands of words editing.

I'm using a different writing app for each task, preferring a single purpose approach for clarity and focus. My workflow includes Drafts for capturing ideas, BBEdit for finalizing and publishing, iA Writer for daily journal entries, Obsidian for knowledge management, and Ulysses for long form writing projects.
Updated: 2026 Plus, Minus, Next weekly review - in Markdown. It's fast, flexible, and future-focused! (hat tip to Anne-Laure le Cunff)

These templates makes it easy to record a year’s worth of Plus Minus Next weekly reviews in a plain text app like Obsidian or iA Writer.Changes in this version: I've added a minimalist version without wiki links or emojis, perfect for any text editor.If you find an error, please make sure you're looking at the most recent version, then email me or comment on this page to let me know.The download consists of a series of Markdown files in a folder that can be used in any text editor.You'll see that the weekly review page is essentially a simple list, as my approach is to stay away from app-specific plugins and features when a simple, more universal solution will do.There’s a different icon next to each month, chosen to reflect the seasons of the Northern / Southern hemispheres.Screenshot of Plus Minus Next page, showing Outline pane on the rightThe advantage of the emojis goes beyond looking pretty: in the outline pane it’s easy to see which week numbers belong to which month, and which weeks cross from one month to another.If you’re new to Obsidian and would like to learn how to set up your notes from scratch, check out Nicole van der Hoeven’s getting started video.
