Just launched my technical writing portfolio site, powered by @astrodotbuild! This showcases my technical writing work, services, and blog.
Thanks to @Cosmic_Themes for the awesome starter theme! It was a great jumping-off point for a newbie like me.

Stop Letting Research Drain Your Creativity
Most writing projects fail not at the drafting stage, but during "Pre-Writing." As writer @warishwrites explains, the real work is the learningβbrowsing sources, pulling insights, and organizing chaos. This process is often so draining that by the time you start typing, your energy is gone.
The YouMind Shift: Warish used YouMind to cut his research time in half, transforming a heavy "weight" into a manageable, energized workflow.
3 Key Takeaways:
- Project Isolation: Use Boards to keep every brief, PDF, and screenshot in one focused workspace. No more context switching.
- Skill-Driven Research: Use Skills to identify knowledge gaps and gather evidence automatically. Let AI do the heavy lifting so you can focus on the thinking.
Instant Filtering: Use the Browser Extension to summarize sources in seconds. Stop wasting time on irrelevant tabs.
The Bottom Line: YouMind isn't just a tool; itβs the "Central Brain" for your project. It organizes your research and shapes your thinking so you can reach the drafting phase with total clarity.

As a reader, seeing Omnivore and Pocket Go truly breaks my heart. π Bookmarking apps are great, but there's nothing like a reading app. A special corner just for reading.
@AutomationAlex Wrote a self hosting @umami_software tutorial for free (on Netlify and Supabase free tier) good for small projects. Hope you find it useful! https://t.co/s6Ds81FiFc
I didn't see (or couldn't find?) a self-hosted @umami_software guide on @Netlify and @supabase. So I created one. Freshly published! ππΌ

Note to self: Pay attention to the problems that bother you even when you're not getting paid to solve them. Notice the conversations that energize you even when you're tired. Watch for the work that doesn't feel like work, even when it's hard.
@nbaschez Cool feature! But I'm disappointed that it's only visually rewinded (at first I thought it was the 'undo' slider).
On another note, the Rewind line looks exactly like the formatting tool's line tho (that I misclicked it and wondered why it didnβt work π«£)
I once thought writing and coding were separate paths.
But through technical writing, they beautifully complement each other.
Writing improves my coding skills, while coding sharpens my writing.
I can be a writer who loves coding and a coder who loves writing!
Published my tutorial on building a documentation site with Astro Starlight 4 days ago, and it's already ranking 11th on Google! π₯³π Not on the first page yet, but Iβm celebrating this win! Why not?
