It was great to meet with @jannis@jannis.io and @mariia@itsmariia.co, in Amsterdam today. Ghost community is so lucky to have Jannis. I'm sure we'll be in close contact with him to make Ghost ecosystem greater.

After years of back and forth, I decided to give a serious try to Obsidian. I loved how it leverages Markdown frontmatter as searchable "properties". I'm planning continue to use Apple Notes for daily notes and Obsidian for structural ones.

When I saw WhatsApp’s interoperability notification with third-party applications today, I was happy for a moment. However, when I looked at the implementation details, it seems that this too will be Meta’s new data collection tool. Why are WhatsApp servers at the center?

Self-hosting is great as a hobby. But if your goal is to publish, not maintain servers, there’s no reason to run your own blog. https://www.synapsmedia.com/help/self-hosting-ghost-vs-synaps-media/

The feature I was waiting for since years arrived DuckDuckGo: Blocking sites from search results. This will give extra peace of mind to my life for sure!

This is a screenshot from Safari on iOS 26. I love how "invisible" the browser is. It gives a full-screen navigating experience. Now web content even cross under the iOS top bar. This gives much more flexibility for web designers and developers.

I just noticed Apple Music Classical’s Listening Guide feature. Very impressive!

20 credits for Opus on Windsurf. I hope it fixes all of my issues with a single prompt! 😃

You can use HTML card for this. Reader is showing HTML card without running JS in it. So a card like below shows the link in AP reader (also in email), but not in AP Reader.

But I think, it would be better to have a card, like "Email Only" but able to pick platforms we want to show it.
