Hey, you, reader:

Ever been browsing someone's blog, website, repo -- even their social web profile -- and thought to yourself "Wow, that's really neat. I love what they did here!"

Consider telling them! Someone on here made a post a while back encouraging people to do just that, and I've tried to make a conscious habit of contacting the authors of neat little indie and smolweb sites.

Email, guestbook, comment; whatever it might be, consider reaching out somehow to share your appreciation. You might be surprised at how much it makes their day.

You might also be surprised to discover how much making their day makes yours, too.

@ety Someone dropped an email after I published https://www.unsungnovelty.org/posts/04/2025/you-dont-need-ai-summaries-tldr-or-to-be-on-top-of-things/ and I woke up to his email. It was a good day. :)

I certainly appreciate getting emails. Even if it is criticisms. Just be nice about it is all. :)

You don't need AI summaries, tldr or to be on top of things - unsungNovelty

Focus on quality instead of quantity when it comes to consumption and detox your life by consuming less, re-consuming and consuming better instead of using AI summary services and tldr which makes you focus on the quantity of the consumption instead of quality
