okay, so... Bloom is spectacular.

I purchased a license minutes after installing, configuring, and kicking its tires.

Currently on sale for ***$12*** using code BLACKFRIDAY2025

Do yourself a favor and snag a license: inchman.gumroad.com/l/Bloom

👀 Unreasonably excited to have discovered Bloom for macOS.

tl;dr: Bloom is a Finder replacement that looks pretty much like Finder, but with many more features.

Going to test it. Hoping Bloom is amazing. Fingers crossed.

hmm! this reminds me to revisit sketch after a break of many years.
We’ve got a biiiig update for you. A complete redesign of Sketch. Maybe you’ve tried the beta, maybe you’ve seen the teasers. Now you can update and try it all for real.

And there’s more! 🧵 ↓

huh. email from Todoist about pricing increases from $29/year to $60/year.

- legacy pricing: todo items & existing features
- updated pricing: todo items & existing features & new features

not surprised Doist (the company) is raising prices, given prices have barely increased for almost a decade

Updates:

1. Bouncer (for SMS spam): This app works for text spam. I spent a minimal amount of effort setting it up. Regex for the win. I guess I'll use it until something gets baked into iOS or the app stops blocking SMS spam.

2. iOS insists on notifying me about spam voicemails, but not the calls
Using iOS 26, and unfortunately, SMS spam messages from unknown numbers continue to be promptly delivered, mis-categorized, and several are getting through even focus modes to deliver notifications to me.

For the Text Message Filter, I've tried:

Robokiller, Text Message Filter, and now Bouncer

I know MDN uses its custom Playground for displaying code, but it would be grand if it were just Codepen.

Reminder to hydrate, move around a bit, and stretch a bit.

Maybe treat yourself to a snack, too.
