I work in an org that has a small staff but a large volunteer base. Internally, we use Todoist. There’s not a built-in way to share project lists with non-members/users. Today, I created a single page site that ties into the Todoist API, displays tasks, ands allows volunteers to view what’s needed.
I’ve really enjoyed David McCloskey’s spy/espionage series. If you’re into the genre, start with Damascus Station—it’s CIA-focused and mostly set in Syria. The next books take you to Mexico and Russia. McCloskey is a former CIA officer and co-host of The Rest is Classified podcast.
If you use Kagi, here’s a simple theme you can copy/paste. Spaces things out, cleans some stuff, tweaks the link colors.
I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about Vivaldi and Zen browsers. What are you using on macOS and iOS? I’ve been 100% Safari for a long time, but open to exploring options.

Finding the Best Wallet
I share my positive experience with the Lochby Sidekick wallet, highlighting its functionality and capacity for an EDC setup compared to my previous slim wallet.
What do you use to track TV Shows/Seasons? I don’t need social features, etc. Something to basically allow me to add shows, mark episodes I’ve seen, & see what’s up next. I’ve been using TV Forecast (connects with trackt.tv). No complaints, but I’m up for renewal and would like to see options.
I’ve added some video equipment to my gear for sale page. Blackmagic and PTZOptics.
Anyone with a 3D printer up for doing a small print for me? 🙂
If you’re a MLB fan, you might find this useful. I wanted a simple way to see each team’s 40-man roster, so I made my own.
Bayou Theme has been updated to version 1.2. Included in this version is the option to define how many microposts and longform posts are shown on the homepage, change the categories for microposts and longform posts, set the site language (en, de, es, fi, fr, it, pt, ru), and change the date format.
Support for Summaries is now rolling out for Tiny and Sumo Theme.
Braves fans first. But baseball fan overall. My phone surfaced this photo from a few years ago today. Son had been begging to catch an Astros game.
Updates coming this week for Tiny, Sumo, and Bayou themes include a newsletter fix, improved support for social media images (particularly for users with multiple blogs), improved support for the new summary feature, and a few bug fixes.
As a ProPresenter + Multitracks + Live Streaming producer, today was a rough day. Dealing with MIDI/Network issues can age you a few years within a few hours.
If you do frequent public speaking, particularly in medium-to-large venues, how do you create/use your speaker notes? I’ve done everything from handwritten index cards to printed full manuscripts to teleprompters to Pages presenter mode to on-screen pdfs and more. What do you use? What apps? Etc?
Playing around with a little styling for comments by the site author.
In 1 week since the launch of Bayou Theme for Micro.blog, the documentation site received 2,189 unique visitors from 31 different countries.
If you’re a Bayou Theme user, @lmika has created a nice sidebar plugin.
Released a new plugin for Micro.blog: Sidebar for the Bayou theme (yes, another sidebar plugin). Thanks again to [@Mtt](https://micro.blog/Mtt) for making changes to the theme to support adding the sidebar. Can be installed from the plugin directory (please ensure you have Bayou version 1.1.3 or later).
Wow, Google didn’t mess up the gumbo by adding tomatoes. Pretty accurate representation of the best gumbo.

Some micro.blog news from @manton regarding Sumo Theme. And a nod to developers as well.
Which RSS App Do People Actually Use?
I recently asked what people are using for RSS these days on a couple different platforms. I didn’t necessarily expect a clear winner, but I was still surprised at how completely spread out the results were. I decided to tally the results and create a chart (because why not) for all to see.
Some other things people mentioned that I wasn’t completely expecting:
- A good amount of users prefer to digest RSS in a social media style stream instead of by feed
- Most people tend to be lower volume with their subscriptions
- A few only use RSS on a computer (no mobile)
Basically, there is no consensus on the best service, best app, or best method to consume RSS feeds. And honestly, that is the beauty of RSS. You can find what works for you and that’s all that is needed.
What are you using for RSS these days? I’ve been using NetNewsWire since it re-launched on iOS. I have no (well, few) complaints, but I want to see what others are using.
Sumo Theme & Bayou Theme now have localized text support (set language in config.json). Visual text elements (ex “Read More”) will display in your language. This will be coming to Tiny Theme as well. Languages supported are English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, & Russian.
