Happy 9th birthday to @[email protected]. Let's throwback to April of 2015 for what was widely regarded internally as "the best Hover podcast spot I've ever heard" by our then Acquisition Manager, Alex F. https://www.relay.fm/bonanza/8

I managed to replicate the Readwise Daily Review feature in @drafts 😍
It pulls a configurable amount of random highlights from your account and you can add notes, add/remove tags, discard and favorite the highlight directly from Drafts without opening Readwise at all.
(It does not update your review streak in Readwise though!)

🧐Interested?

Allow me to flex a little here. I did a big thing.

This morning, I talked to famed Olympic diver GREG LOUGANIS for an *exclusive* interview about mental health startup Aura Health, his career as an Olympian, the importance of mental wellness, and how it's affected him in life.

I'm pretty proud of this one.
