I'm amazed at how good Quiche browser for iOS is and how quickly I adapted. Switched two months ago and immediately loved it. Customizing the toolbar to just what I want and nothing more is a delight. Fast, lovely to use, and many nice touches. Thanks for the spreading the word @daringfireball quiche.industries/browser/
I'm thrilled that Lexxy became a reality, and that we pushed past the thousands of reasons not to take it on. There are always more pressing things than making a new text editor! But it's been so worth it. And it's constantly improving.
Big thanks to @jorgemanru for taking a week to prove that it was possible. And that was back when we chiseled code by hand around a campfire 😂
Lexxy 1.0 is here, and we are going to make it the Rails default.
Lexxy answers a question we’ve been wrestling with at @37signals for years: what should we do with such a critical component of our apps? For a long time, we didn't see a clear path, but now it is here, and it is better than we anticipated. That makes this project especially meaningful to me.
Kudos to @bb for pushing for it, to @zoltanhosszu and Sam Péchèr for making it very real, and to the many other folks who have contributed so far.

An Ode to Summer Hours world.hey.com/bb/summer-hour…
We work four days a week during the summer. But it’s not just that summer is better, it’s that fall is, too. The shift back to normal weeks makes it feel new and different.
Think of it like intervals when you’re working out. You can go further because you're not just pushing through at the exact same pace indefinitely.
We’re living through the big blur. Product, design, engineering, mobile, web, QA. Roles are fluid. Previously clear lines now fade at the edges like lines in an Agnes Martin painting.
Will new lines be drawn or will they all just fade away?

Finally got to see LCD Soundsystem in person this weekend and it was incredible — the lights, the sound, the crowd. Watching 8 people meticulously recreate electronic music live was mesmerizing.
Omarchy isn't just for developers. If you’re curious, and miss the freedom and fun that come with making your computer work just the way you want, give Omarchy a go. Here's how my first week went...

Small shifts in how we think about cool-down between cycles in Shape Up...

We spent a year building Basecamp 5, which launched last week. One phrase kept coming back to me throughout: Don't accept the premise.
But that may have also been because I was watching Taskmaster 😄

Quite a week! @Arsenal win the Premier League for the first time in 22 years, @nyknicks reach the finals for the first time in 19 years, and after a week together in Copenhagen, we launched Basecamp 5, the best version in its 22-year history. Take a look: basecamp.com
