I continue to think that my devices are now too secure. Face ID shouldn't freak out multiple times a day, requiring a pin. Safari shouldn't scrap cookies every week, requiring needless extra web sign-ins. Any security beyond unlocking my Mac is usually unnecessary friction.

I'm on today's Really Simple Stories podcast with @martinfeld! This was a fun episode to record. I reflect on some early experiments with podcasting, talk about the open web, and more.

New version of Epilogue! From @news:
Epilogue 1.3 for iOS has been released in the App Store! This version adds a new Discover tab for finding books that people are blogging about. Tap and hold on a book cover to quickly add it to one of your bookshelves.

I thought I was following Beto pretty closely, but didn't realize he was working on a book, out today. Looks good. Ordered: We've Got to Try. 📚

The icon for our app Epilogue has bugged me since I whipped it together for version 1.0. I should probably get a real designer to make a new one, but I spent a little time this week coming up with a new one that I like. Old on left, new on right. Goodreads-inspired colors.

I've been using Hey for about a year, and recently was able to finish consolidating all of my email accounts to it. They added sending via Gmail too, which was the last missing piece. Very happy with the design. I use it like a specialized client, still backed mostly by Fastmail.

On this week's Core Intuition, @danielpunkass and I talk about our busy summer, trying to balance work, vacation, and other trips. They talk about MarsEdit 5 progress and transitioning a blog from WordPress to Micro.blog.

Finished reading: Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett. Looking forward to the rest of the trilogy. Interesting magic system. 📚

Disappointed to see Moderna sue over mRNA. Maybe companies that get funding from taxpayers should have their patents in the public domain? Surely they can still innovate and be profitable.

Deer out exploring after last night’s rain. The grass is starting to look green again.
New game, Root. One of the most complicated board games to get started with because every player’s rules are different, but like it now we’ve figured out the basics. Really nice design. 🎲
