Using Mastodon for thinking
Mastodon can be really used for private thinking. It is threaded, I can just keep adding stuff to a post. And we have awesome clients like Mona. I can bookmark a post, so then I can keep the thread going. This could be even better than how I do the…

Script Debugger is getting retired
Retiring Script Debugger | Late Night Software I ran into this post the other day about Script Debugger getting retired. I just bought the app about 2-3 years ago, but in the short amount of time it became such an important part of my workflow. I learned…

Writing drafts in Gibberish
I think I should start using Gibberish for drafting blog posts. Even if it’s something short or private. I just love this chat-like UI for writing, and also how the app calls drafts thoughts, and published stuff as posts. In my world these are not posts…

Trying out Strflow for Project-related Status Updates

Gibberish automation
We should have some form of automation for Gibberish. Like a shortcut or something which I can use to start a post. I mean the app is great and I usually do my brainfarts in that app, but it would be nice to actually use Drafts to start a post. I…

Using Bike in pair with Reminders for GTD
I'm playing with the idea of using solely Bike with Reminders. That was the easiest and the most effective way to capture information, organize it, plan, then create next actions out of it. I have to create new ways to automate some things, like adding…

Thinking in threaded notes
Now I’m starting see some Zettelkasten inspired apps, which lets you create threaded notes by chaining random ideas together. One of them is Gibberish, which packages this idea into a blogging app. The other one is Thinkdrop which is just a simple note…

Apps supporting my thinking
I'm looking for the best outliner. I even collected the list of apps I have on my system for taking notes, and managing different set of lists. I'm not even sure if an app like this exists. But the Mac has really cool apps, that can be used for…
