Can’t believe this is the best a $3T company can come up with when tasked with designing a journaling app. 🔗 metagame.hk/posts/2025-0...

Going back to tinkering with the blog after a series of unproductive personal life distractions. No new articles yet, but I put together a blogroll page today (blogging like it's 2015!) Rebuilding my own place on the web one step at a time.
