I’m feeling very similar feelings at the moment. Also a sucker for a zine. Also very much believe in supporting independent people doing cool independent stuff.

I use Readwise Reader but actually still love the simplicity of NetNewsWire.

I’m certainly not here to disagree with that.

Perfect. 😂

Like to think so. Which one do you use? I have about three on the go, but it's mostly Readwise Reader.

Is 'Keep things plain' a blog title suggestion? I've come up with much worse. 😂

And yes, exactly.

So yeah, I will probably leave it as Plain English Club and reserve the right to change it at a later date. 🙃

Like, lots of people interested in plain English and clear language don't know what content design is. In many cases, they don't need to either. If a legal boffin wants to write clearer documents without getting into user stories etc, that's good enough for me.

I think this might actually come to fruition - maybe even this week. Though weirdly, I am fixating on the name. The newsletter is already about more than plain English, but I feel like Plain English has a broader appeal than, say, Content Design Club.

So like this, perhaps. Combination of original posts and the existing newsletter, along with linkposts where the title links directly to the source article/web page (as shown here).

Absolutely dreadful. 😢

Oh and 'the absolutely worst time' is how people are saying that phrase now, by the way.

I'll do a proper link and sharey share when you are all back at work on Monday.
