I've been noodling with some ideas about the Development Hell subscription, and how to make that better/rationalise it/I don't know what. I think I've come up with something and I'll get into that over the weekend.

For now, I'm just filling silence and sharing a few interesting things I've found.

In his newsletter last week, Warren Ellis was talking about writers' boxes. I've long coveted the one that Galen Leather makes (see above) and here it is in all its glory:

In the Cartoon Gravity Club this week, there has been some discussion of RSS readers, and I found this article which might be a useful introduction to the idea: The Best RSS Reader Apps in 2025 | Lifehacker

I've been trying out the newest version of the Reeder app, which I liked initially, but it seems a little limited in how you can save, filter and share things. Nevertheless, I persist.
