One of the nicest things I did in 2019 was remove Google Analytics from all of my websites and toys and tools. Now I no longer give Google info about my readers/users and it turns out I didn't need to know who was using my website with any level of granularity.

Shoutout to @macpowerusers for turning me onto @craftdocsapp. I’ve been saving/authoring content in various apps (Ulysses, Bear, Notion, and Day One), but no clear vision for how to tie them together via “contextual project documents”.
Craft is the solution. It’s a revelation.

Posted this on a mustachian group and half the comments were “how did you make this graph” and the other half were “you make too little money”.
Istg the unawareness of so much of the FIRE community to what an actual median salary is drives me up the wall.
