I've been building an RSS reader for the past year. No unread counts, no inbox to clear. Just a river that flows at its own pace.

Today it's live on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. I wrote about everything that went into it.

I think what AI has taught us is that many things we thought were hard were merely tedious. AI doesn't give a shit. AI eats tedium for lunch. There will always be "human only" problems, and AI is helping us zero in on those.

An important PSA for people who are active on #Bluesky and who, upon hearing that the ICE account was officially verified, are saying: "I will just block it."

Blocking on Bluesky is NOT PRIVATE: it's very easy to see who is blocking any account by visiting sites that list that information.

I took a screenshot from https://clearsky.app, listing all the accounts that are blocking ICE (I pixelated avatars and usernames for privacy purposes).

The safest bet is to mute (that info is private) 😫

It's 2026. How about we normalize NOT using social media as our website? I'm looking at you city governments, restaurants, businesses, orgs, etc.

Build a website to announce your events. The website doesn't have to be elaborate. Just something with a calendar of events.
