Log off.
Miss nothing.

Every Friday, I distill the best 4 things I've been learning, testing, and using into one letter: the tools, systems, and ideas that earned a place in my workflow, so they can earn one in yours.

Hallmark: a cure for websites that look painfully AI-generated

An open-source design skill for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. It applies one of 20 design themes and runs the result through 57 "AI slop" checks. Point it at a site you admire and it extracts the design principles without copying them. Free, MIT-licensed, genuinely useful.

Slate: a voice journal where nothing leaves your phone

Transcription runs on-device, reflection runs on Apple's local model, entries live in SwiftData. No account, no analytics, no network calls. Turn on airplane mode and the entire app still works, because there is no server at all.

Cove: a save/load button for your entire Mac workspace

Captures your complete setup as a named Session: apps, window layouts, browser tabs, terminal directories, even Focus Mode. Bring the whole environment back with a single click. It's "save game" for your actual work.

Quote I keep coming back to

"Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you."

Who's testing all this?

I'm Abi. I build things on the internet, and I love making things. Good work requires good tools, good frameworks, and good systems, so I spend my weeks exploring them, breaking them, and stealing the best of everything I come across into one weekly email.

You get the finds. I keep the browser tabs.
