Falling in line with much of what I like to write and share is explored beautifully in a piece by @strange.website. Forging the internet into a better place, with federation, accessibility, and interoperability.
Stuff like this inspires me to build more and stop using compartmentalized platforms.

Jeff Merrick's newest build, the PS-85, is a DIYed slate-style cyberDeck inspired by the Alien movie universe. Jeff's other Typeframe boards are equally as astonishing, and the branding/icon work is top tier. Wish I was more engineering-inclined so I could build my own one day.

Utilities like an image converter, background remover, favicon generator, and contrast checker were monumental for my redesign—Delphi Tools by @delphi.rmv.fyi provided them all and more! Free, no accounts, no hassle, and all handmade.
Palette generator was by far my favourite to explore and use.

Took a much needed break at the end of 2025 then bounced right into action developing a new look / re-design for the newsletter in 2026.
Been fun to flex some more design-y muscles and can't wait to show it off next week!!

One of my most used macOS tools, Monocle by Dominik Kandravy, just got a huge 3.0 update!! Complete visual overhaul (even blurring behind a transparent menu bar now), more customization, and a ton more features!
Check it out -> monocle.heyiam.dk

Last week my partner (@themoondontshine.bsky.social) and I explored bringing the clicks 'n clacks brand into real life—the process of creating these was a new experience for the both of us. Hope to design more like this soon!

I was in Cybersecurity before moving to product and believe it’s essential for everyone to learn!
I miss it, and Hacktivate by @twostraws.bsky.social fills that void. It offers 200+ challenges to learn about encryption, injection attacks, digital forensics & more—all with a real hacker’s toolkit!

Didn't get a chance last week to highlight one of my favourite features from issue 45—Click Browser by @jackbogdan.com
Keeps getting better with each update—simple, no frills, Arc-inspired browser, crazy fast on Mac Silicon, and I love Jacks personal aesthetic that he's bringing to this project.

My favourite cap set from this past week was GMK GORP by Evan aka extrapriusplease. I've been waiting patiently for this one, and now pre-orders for it are live! Inspired by "gorpcore" clothing and Arc’teryx, this beige and pastel set is a sight to behold!

Some stories you may not be aware of if you’re not inside the circles where tech industry workers talk to each other: the groups at Microsoft that have been organizing for years to stop providing tech to enable genocide scored their first massive victory last week. www.theverge.com/news/785733/...

The Guardian revealed last month that Microsoft’s services were being used for mass surveillance of Palestinians.

I've sorely missed the old Launchpad since updating to macOS Tahoe- @sergeynewton.bsky.social's LaunchMe app has been a lifesaver! It brings back so many features, helps me organize my overwhelming number of apps, and greatly surpasses Launchpad in terms of customizability and personalization too!

HUGE thank you to @3-3.fyi for hosting me today and to those who attended the call!
It was so great to see everyone's faces again and the Q&A engagement was top tier. It felt amazing to fully share my story behind co-founding and building Fathom. :)

New app and community on the rise!! Keebuilder recently released their iOS app (Google Play coming soon)—I've been using it to browse keyboard builds, search vendors, and stay on top of upcoming Interest Checks! Great design, already active, growing quick, and can't wait to see what comes next!

An app that has brought me great joy this week has been Dockitty—a simple but adorable app that brings a small pixel pal to your Mac. Its free version includes all the main features and it keeps me both on task and just distracted enough from the work day!
