Writers, consider your worldbuilding and inspiration toolset expanded. This is awesome stuff!

The best part about writing is that no matter how bad your day gets, you can always open your manuscript and make it even worse.

You got this #MotivationalMondays

@MSOlney1 It's great. X-files/Dull Boy Jack vibes

@windjacker oo I like that

What's the best font to use when writing a horror/thriller story. Is there one that adds to the sense of unease I want the reader to have... any ideas welcome.

Fun experiment. AI writing is still pretty easy to spot, though it’s lightyears away from what it was just two years ago.

@inkdrop_app Congrats on finishing the roadmap! That’s always satisfying to see 😎

Inkdrop Desktop v6.0.0-canary.12 is out! Now, I've finally completed the roadmap (vol 6)! It took 1.3 years (including burnout) 😂👍 Next up is – I'm planning to add two bonus features: Progress stats and AI integrations 💪 Thank you for your feedback, as always ❤️

Currently working on a title and cover teaser. The cover is going to be sick!

Hot take: it has never been more important in history to have REAL photos and videos come from smartphone cameras

Exactly this. Community around common experiences, both good and bad is what will continue to keep products and projects afloat, even in the face of—and dare I say in spite of—the current uptick of ephemeral, unique and on-demand entertainment and tools.

@oldyzach Wait, what about The Realm?

Quite recently, I was close to giving up on running this X account. But I feel good when I can remind you (and myself) of the good old days. And now - I'll try to be sexy. The Fates of Twinion, old, forgotten Sierra's MUD. One of three, to be more specific. The other was Shadow of Yserbius and Ruins of Cawdor.

@RobSanders56 Hey, try doing that when you’re 200 years old

Dear Hugh Jackman, I consider the gauntlet thrown down. I'm coming for you, Wolverine.

People coding 24/7 on their phones now. I predict a new wave of self-help blogs and articles detailing code-burnout and mechanisms to cope

@orbitbooks The link reports a 404 error. Congrars on the launch!

In AICHA, Soraya Bouazzaoui delivers an epic debut of female rage and hidden myths, perfect for fans of The City of Brass and The Stardust Thief. AICHA is on sale everywhere March 24th. Read the first two chapters now! bit.ly/4qkl83

I found the old 35mm slide for the cover for Neuromancer and had it scanned in for your pleasure. Enjoy!

@dhh Meanwhile in 37s TOS. I suppose the answer to the question of where this is all going is the more exciting one, but in this loop of perfect execution, whom would you attribute the failed humanity check to? The agent? OpenClaw's tooling? HEY? Your own instructions?

"Everything is changing so fast in AI right now, but if I was going to skate to where the puck is going, it'd be a world where agents, like self-driving cars, don't need special accommodations, like LIDAR or MCPs, to interact with the environment." world.hey.com/david/clankers…

@obsdmd and @BearNotesApp, side by side. It's remarkable how incredibly similar they feel in 2026 yet each still retain their edge.

@kepano Is it too late to respond to this? The absolutely razor-thin, near-invisible caret on macOS.

give me one TINY thing you want fixed or improved in Obsidian — going on a paper cuts rampage

Interesting, poetic take! I've always wondered about this divergence—there are some fields (like coding for example) that embrace the lesser workload of the hands-on approach by delegating to AI. But other creative fields, like writing, are quite adamant at keeping AI out of the creation process. Generally, I belong to the latter category, because doing the hard thing is how we get better at what we aspire to be. You can't become a better writer by not writing. It does mean that half-baked ideas get discarded, and some stay locked in the ideation drawer forever, because our time and attention is finite. On the other hand, this isn't necessarily a bad thing, because that's what stops the flood of every idea under the sun competing for attention of others. If there's a flood of ideas that suddenly turn into reality because it's easy to ship them as MVPs, then we might find that nothing matters to anyone anymore, everything is a custom solution, and we're only building for ourselves. In this case, what is the survival of the fittest? How do products survive?

Under the banner of “survival of the fittest,” we’re being drawn toward a new frontier of productivity—trading the pleasure of hands-on craft to AI. And in return, we gain breathing room: a space where the fragments of ideas that used to be discarded can finally take on shape. Humor and fierce personal obsessions find a vast landing and begin to erupt. Nonlinear flashes of insight shimmer in rainbow colors. Cultures blend, and everything keeps being rewritten, layer upon layer, like an oil painting. In this sea of change, what will you be—an anchovy, a salmon, or a shark?
