Weeknote #1975

I've narrowed down the inks I'm going to try for finding my perfect pink ink to a handful. I'm planing on ordered Taccia Momo first because this is the one that's been recommended to me the most. I also updated my ink list on FPC.

I've added some more pens to my wanted list including the Diplomat Viper, the Monteverde MP1, and the new TWSBI Eco Cosmos Blue with Onyx. I also found somewhere selling the discontinued Pink Eco at retail price so I might need to buy that first.

I managed to find the time to go to the Analog Tools meetup where I got to talk to some wonderful people and also said something very silly.

I've backed Bonfire on IndieGoGo because I'm fascinated by what they're trying to do.

Despite not being an iOS developer (nor do I have any intention of becoming one), Everything but the Code is 50% off for Black Friday and aside from some app-specific things, seems like it'll have a lot of useful stuff in it.

Flare is a new unified app for connecting to multiple social networks like Mastodon and Bluesky. I don't I need this but it's interesting nonetheless.

Grila is a keyboard-driven calendar app for MacOS which reminds me a lot of Godspeed.

Taking stock of my tools by Britney Winthrope is a great post with an new (to me) way of categorising tools you use (the CODE framework - Capture, Organize, Distill, Express).

The Ollee watch is back in stock but I resisted for the time being.

These Japanese firework illustrations are gorgeous. This also led to me to find Affinities which is a book by The Public Domain Review. Right onto my wishlist that goes.

Mutant Standard emoji is a fun new emoji set.
