  • MarsEdit

    I’m writing this post in MarsEdit. It’s been a spell.

    I’m mostly testing to see how things play with the awful-but-necessary Gutenberg editor in WordPress. Part of this effort meant I’m using “Rich Text” in MarsEdit. GASP!

    #!/bin/sh
    
    ./feedspool fetch
    ./feedspool render
    open http://localhost:8888

    I’m pretty content with Elfeed in Emacs, but Feedspool is an interesting take.

    Mylio, in theory, solves my photo management problems:
