I wrote a short piece on what this shift means, why it keeps happening, and whether Superhuman can survive the transition.

Let me know what you think — especially if you’re still grieving Mailbox.

Grammarly, Superhuman, and the Slow March Toward Enterprise Software
As Grammarly acquires Superhuman, another indie-favorite app begins its journey into the enterprise world. Will it thrive like Cron—or fade like Mailbox?

I wonder if this will improve use of WisprFlow when using AirPods. Currently WisprFlow recommends not using AirPods and so I’ve been using a wired pair of EarBuds when dictating to WisprFlow.

They're all good, and also problematic, in their own ways. Here's a quick write up I did earlier today. Let me know what you're looking for and I can try to give you a specific recommendation. www.focustools.xyz/comparing-to...

Is this what the new Siri dictation is using on iOS 26? Whenever I voice dictate and say “Asana” the app (surprisingly often) Siri gives me “a sauna” while Whisper apps always get it right. Curious if this fixed with this new model in iOS 26.

We’re bouncing between Asana and Linear. Neither is perfect.

I spent so long wishing for a Slack replacement. These days I’m pretty content with Slack. I wish it were Asana that either got 10x better or that a replacement came along.

Venture Capital Ate The Browser Company
Profit seems like a good goal to me. But that wasn't good enough for the venture capitalists backing The Browser Company.
