I finally have a highlights/quotes setup I like. They are auto-added to Readwise via Kobo & Hypothesis (Safari). Old highlights from Kindle & Goodreads were easily imported. For manual, I hit the + button in Readwise (only time I use the app). Everything is auto-organized & auto-pushed to Obsidian.
On next week’s todo list: A NetNewsWire theme based on Tiny. Also, ICYMI, here is a Drafts Theme and a Marked 2 Theme.

I need an app that helps store and organize quotes and highlights. I can’t stand Readwise’s approach (although the Kobo integration is solid). Quotify seems OK, but not available for Mac/browser. Any suggestions?
Trip day carry.
If you use the Drafts app, here’s a new Tiny inspired theme you might like.
If you use Marked 2 for previewing/printing Markdown, I created a basic theme that closely resembles Tiny Theme. It supports headers, paragraphs, lists, code blocks, inline code, bold, italics, links, blockquotes, images, and horizontal rules. Download it and add it in Marked 2 (Settings → Style).
What are you using for RSS? I’m currently using NetNewsWire (previously used Reeder).
Anyone need a podcast guest to talk about…anything? I’ve done some internal stuff (business related), and I just started a solo podcast. Would love to add some experience to the job.
I published a basic edc (everyday carry) page the other day. Based on feedback, I’ve significantly expanded it. I’ll do my best to keep it as up to date as possible. I’d also love your suggestions on products/improvements.
Episode 1: Welcome to Micro Matt
Welcome to a new podcast by me, Matt Langford. I’m calling it Micro Matt for two reasons. First as a nod to the platform that will be hosting it (Micro.blog), and secondly to represent the style of the podcast. It’ll be short 5 minute episodes focusing on a single topic every episode.
As a whole, it has no defined topics or niche. Episodes may vary from tech to sports to parenting to travel to life in general.

Thanks for listening!
Is there a way to have Amazon not use their own delivery service? Or at a minimum, set preferences (no signature, for example)? Their delivery system is a joke here.
We took the kids to a local indoor rock climbing place today. They’re going to be sore.
Tiny Theme 2.8.1 is now available. It’s a small update that fixes an issue with footnotes when added before a read more tag. (cc @pratik).
Today at lunch (a semi formal Italian place), I dropped a glass of coke on the table which exploded into my face then fell over onto my shirt, pants, and shoes. I attempted to quickly grab it which resulted in me spilling what remained on @kalena.
I’m considering deleting my Instagram account, but there are a small handful of accounts I’d like to keep tracking. Does anyone have an effective Instagram-to-RSS (or similar) strategy that’s working?
Tiny Theme 2.8 now includes built in support for Font Awesome.
I’ve used ratchet straps for years, but I still get confused about which way to insert the strap into the ratchet every single time.

After a ridiculous amount of research and searching, I ordered a refurbished Steelcase Amia (office chair). I really wanted a Herman Miller Aeron, but hard to find for a reasonable price in size C (I’m 6’3”).
