Resources
Tools and templates I actually use. Nothing here pays me a commission — if that ever changes, it will say so on the line.
Writing and publishing
Plain text draftsEvery post starts in a text file. No formatting until the argument holds together.
HemingwayUsed as a warning light, not a rulebook. Grade twelve is usually a sign of a buried point.
Static HTMLWhat this site now runs on. WordPress served for seventeen years; the archive is now plain files that cannot break or slow down.
Outsourcing
LoomRecording the task once beats writing it three times.
NotionProcess documentation only. It is not a project manager and pretending otherwise ends badly.
WisePaying people abroad without the bank taking a slice for nothing.
Measurement
PlausiblePrivacy-friendly analytics. Fewer numbers, all of them useful.
A spreadsheetGenuinely. Monthly numbers, typed in by hand, forces you to look at them.
