James Talarico wins, and now just listening to Greg Abbot say he called Gina Hinojosa to concede. This is absolutely stunning.

I was only 15 years old when Ann Richards won. Always vote for Democrats so this is the first time my candidate has won statewide. A new day for Texas. 🇺🇸

Trying to remember the last time I’ve been able to click around on a Texas election map, county by county, and smile. Oh right, it’s never happened. This is looking very good. 🇺🇸

Brandon Sanderson said on his weekly update that he’s thinking about the Stormlight 6 outline. Exciting. Except that once that’s ready, he won’t start writing until January 2028! I do admire his planning, though. 📚

Made a completely new site for our books app Epilogue. New screenshots, a little more marketing-y.

Pumpkins still out at Cosmic.

It’s crazy to see Frontier running again on the Mac. Just seeing these screenshots brings back memories! There wasn’t really anything like it, and there still isn’t.

I read some marketing advice the other day that resonated with me. When creating apps is easy, the best use of time for developers is the human connections. In-person meetups. Podcasts. Support email.

Reviewing a huge bootstrap from @vincent to get Sunlit ported to Android. Sunlit has been like a fun side project for us. It fills an important space and is worth dedicating more time to.

Dave Rupert blogs that he won’t be participating in NaNoWriMo, but he does want to write more:

I don’t have any solid plans, words-per-day goals, charts, graphs, storyboards, outlines, or some Benjamin Franklin life hack schedule to make this happen. Instead I have an Obsidian vault with a hundred unsorted drafts.

NaNoWriMo is all-consuming. It’s really hard to make time for, but I hope to see a couple folks take up the challenge on their blogs.

Voted. I got fussed at for checking my phone to look up the details on a couple of the county propositions I couldn’t remember. 🇺🇸
