Jason Snell – I feel more focused on iPadOS
by
[I feel the exact same way that Jason feels](https://sixcolors.com/post/2021/03/searching-for-the-perfect-ios-markdown-writing-tool/). > And I feel more focused using iPadOS itself, for some reason. I know I can run apps full-screen on my Mac—though a 27-inch iMac is spectacularly bad at that. I know I can hide and quit apps on my Mac with a few keystrokes. And,…
Craft Notes and Data Portability
by
One of the questions I’ve been asked many times as I’ve switched from [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md) to [Craft](https://craft.do) is what is the data portability scenario in Craft? Obsidian was simple markdown files thus it had high portability. Craft has a fancy format to deal with, so how does it work? Overall, data portability is high. If you…

Learn about the business of writing in Scratch
by
A big part of what most of us do day to day is write. We write emails, and memos and in my case blog posts about books that are about the business of writing. If you can take the leap to think about yourself as a writer, then Scratch is a book about the business…

It’s Greg’s Blog
by
[Greg Morris](https://gr36.com/what-is-your-blog/) talks about how he hoped his blog would be read with great interest by many, and then realized that it’s for him.

Not Everything Needs to be Digital
by
[Jamie Todd Rubin](https://www.jamierubin.net/2021/02/24/journal-in-obsidian-notes/) talks about his love for Obsidian, but not wanting to put his journal in it. I’m totally in the same boat. I love Craft (and Obsidian before it) for the power of linking, but I love my notebook/journal for writing in. I love the experience of venting a bit on paper, so…
A Leftie’s Bullet Journal V2 Review
by
I’ve been using something like The Bullet Journal Method for years now. I’ve used the first version of The Bullet Journal, which was a lightly customized [Leuchtturm 1917](https://www.leuchtturm1917.ca) notebook with branding. I’ve used standard Leuchtturm notebooks as well and while I missed the third ribbon for marking my spot, ultimately it’s the same notebook. Today…
Little Bets by Peter Sims

I’m sure we all feel like we have a great idea inside us. Something that’s waiting to come out given the right circumstances. In fact I believe this is true for most of us, but the risks we think we have to take to make this idea a reality make it seem like an impossible…
