  Remember how Harvest screwed their long-standing customers by jacking up their price by many times? I built Invoicy to replace it. It’s basic as hell, but does what i need. If it’s useful for you, go nuts. https://github.com/aaronvegh/invoicy

  Interesting thread! There’s something compelling about imagining going back to the very ground level and rebuilding computing knowledge from first principles. https://fedi.reclaim.technology/objects/678f60b8-dc8e-42b1-a181-a4f7e5af085d

  More people need to know that Canada’s biggest tech firm is run a fucking right wing kook whose brain is simmering in the X cesspool. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/shopify-ceo-appears-to-endorse-giving-more-votes-to-wealthy-canadians-9.7286688

  Today while troubleshooting the use of ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I learned these are called Kaomoji: Japanese emoticons made out of combinations of characters to represent facial expressions. Neat! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaomoji

  100 euro fines in Ireland; proposed 1,000 pound fines in the UK. Let's keep that momentum going! Phone sounds in public are my number one pet peeve. https://www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2025/1030/1540979-headphone-dodgers-bare-beating-sodcasting-people-not-using-headphones-on-public-transport/

  Nonsensically pleased with the fruit and cheese tray I put out for our guests yesterday.

  TinyStart is the sort of thing that makes me want to drop everything and create a charming and cool little Mac app and just sell it to people who care about charming and cool things. 🥹 (Don’t worry, Indigo’s still VERY MUCH what I’m spending all my time on)

  And not for nothing, but the website for TinyStart is a real banger: nice layout, to-the-point, has a very personal touch. Like the app, just super-tasteful. https://tinystart.app

  Great piece in the Times about a sake producer in Japan that eschews industrial practices. Gift link. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/04/22/dining/terada-honke-japan-sake-brewery.html?unlocked_article_code=1.dFA.c2vY.2WKEIRSuwML8&smid=nytcore-ios-share

  I’ve never felt more jaded as a computer user, but @nileane has rekindled the joy I used to feel at seeing cool, thoughtful and beautiful software for the Mac: TinyStart is just terrific! Incredibly well done. I miss software like this, so I paid double for it: https://tinystart.app

  I feel like I would have no choice but to buy the shit out of this, even if (when!) the price is eye-watering. https://www.macrumors.com/2026/03/11/iphone-fold-ipad-style-multitasking/

  The PC industry has been moribund for years. Apple choosing to strike with a high quality, low-cost laptop *now*, while component prices spike, is going to go down as one of the smartest things they’ve done in the 21st century. My enthusiasm for Apple has never been lower, but damn, you gotta admire it. https://mastodon.social/@stroughtonsmith/116222103150349999

  Picked up a refurb ThinkPad for a side project. The listing didn’t specify it, but it has a French keyboard. *Tabarnac!*
