I’m normally a fan of slightly odd logos that break convention; but something about the the Instagram logotype sticks in my craw. The collection of rules broken just don’t feel intentional or connected. It has a vague air of AI (and I don’t mean slop, just sterility).

I've been adding whimsy to all areas of my life lately and it's even impacted my signup form.

@EliseDarma I love how you teach people about growth through Instagram. My wife built her entire interior design business around her brand on Insta. We just released a form builder & I've been playing with form ideas for my favorite creators. Here's what I came up with for you!

Today I learned that Lucide has icons for both "Wheat" and a "Wheat Off", for the cases where you want people to be able to disable wheat in your application.

Claude Code gets me.

I can't tell you the number of times I've gotten questions from people about why their open rates tanked, only to see they got clipped in gmail. That's why we show you how close to getting clipped in gmail you are right in our AWeber editor. No nasty surprises.

Roast my newsletter.

I was browsing @reallygoodemail today, this is a really beautiful, simple email. reallygoodemails.com/emails/…

I'm grateful to AI for making basic spelling and grammatical errors a sign of authenticity.

Well heck. That's a fun form.

If you're wondering why this newsletter is my most loved. It's because of my brilliant creative writing.
