I write a collection of newsletters exploring antidotes to noise in daily life.

A running list of digital gestures that are really satisfying to me:

• leaving Google Doc comments
• ticking off checklist bubbles on Apple's Notes app 
• clicking "send to card" button on a CVS online coupon

@michaelmiraflor @luvblessingz the high of getting a new issue of AD these days...

[Jenny Xie @hello88goodbye]

[Jenny Xie @hello88goodbye]

@michaelmiraflor i'll allow it 😬

If you create content and/or have 25k+ photos in your camera roll, what kinds of features would you want from a camera roll assistant? What’s the most tedious for you / takes the most time and attention?

I only accept push notifications from Libby

This is exactly it...

One thing I have learned running a household is that dinner is not a 5 PM problem.

Dinner is a much earlier decision than most people think. If nobody knows what the plan is by midafternoon, the whole evening starts getting more expensive and more annoying.

A lot of bad nights are really just delayed decisions.

I had never heard of limerance before this year and now it’s in every other relationship content thing I come across. I’m probably out of the loop here but when did focus on yearning become a default cultural thing that people talked about. Is this a post pandemic thing.

I really love a good urban canopy in a walkable neighborhood. Some cities just love trees more than others.

[Jenny Xie @hello88goodbye]

@samjvuong @karelvuong great idea and very clean! only question/suggestion is re: "new drop every Sunday" It's a bit of an antithesis to fewer, better. I get it from a content perspective though. Keep the "drops" small ;)

a lot of things are fast now. like—really fast. but i don’t think we’ve figured out when to be slow yet.

it feels like that’s a new skill that’ll differentiate us as people, companies, and products. how we choose when to go slow.

@juangadm_ @Spotify the only sane response, I guess! I'm trying to start painting again hahah

The greatest app ever built is the Apple Notes app. No AI app will ever beat it. Nothing will ever beat it. It's almost as good as pen and paper.

One of the most underrated/under cared for interactions in most products is bookmarking.

Saving the scraps of the internet I enjoy and coming back to them is how I spend a good chunk of my time. AI can make this more seamless, but the fear that it eats in to session time or monetization opportunities are such silly reasons for this experience to be garbage.

why does Claude insist on using "generally available"

[anu @anuatluru]

life is better with a long-term creative project

The comments on music videos on YouTube are the best on the internet. Especially old videos of classic songs. Raw humanity. You see how the comments evolve over the years, how people revisit their old comments a decade later to say that they finally understand. People sharing memories associated with specific verses, or how a melody brings them back to a special place and time. How a song helped someone through a tough time. It’s the best, part of the good internet that is so hard to find these days.

[Jenny Xie @hello88goodbye]

@michaelmiraflor @niftyJB or maybe it's an A/B test hahah like someone was saying about Amazon in that other thread...

[Jenny Xie @hello88goodbye]

@michaelmiraflor @niftyJB I thought it was a CSR thing! maybe yours is still on the way...
