Meta acquires Moltbook. From TechCrunch:

OpenClaw blew up among the tech community, but Moltbook broke containment, reaching people who had no idea what OpenClaw was, but who reacted viscerally to the idea that there was a social network where AI agents were talking about them.

Moltbook is still crazy and interesting, but not sure it fits at Meta in the way that OpenClaw might’ve. I’m just glad Peter Steinberger ended up at OpenAI.

Working on Inkwell is in some ways a little awkward because I’m competing in the same space as some of my friends for the first time. But I root for their success and find ways to collaborate. It’s similar to how MarsEdit and Micro.blog work together and also “compete” as blogging client apps.

Sneak peek of Inkwell for Mac. It’s coming along well. I was going to do a beta but might jump straight to 1.0 this week. Need to fix a few things and wire up version checking.

Android folks, @gregmorris is looking for beta testers for Micro Social.

If anyone else would like to test Micro Social on Android please let me know.

Apparently I cant open test or release until I have at least 12 closed testers for 14 days!

Bluesky has a new CEO, Toni Schneider former CEO of Automattic. I have known Toni for many years, dating back to his startup, Oddpost, that I praised on my blog, and his partner was then quoted in Wired saying Scripting News is media. That meant a lot to me at the time, and ...

I sort of collect “micro” domain names now, so using micro.ink for Inkwell felt right. All the HTML and JS is actually bundled in a Micro.blog plug-in and served just like any blog. I think it demonstrates how flexible Micro.blog hosting can be.

My friend Manton Reece has a new feed reader called Inkwell. The thing that's great about Manton is he tries out new ideas. This is a feed reader of experimentation. Let's see if this works, Manton asks. We'll find out. I love that creative people are using RSS in new ways. ...

Jay Graber is stepping aside as CEO, staying at Bluesky to work on other things:

I’ve grown a lot as a leader and had the privilege of assembling the best team I’ve ever worked with. As we’ve grown, I’ve found that people thrive when they’re in a role where their passions overlap with their strengths. This is as true for me as it is for our team.

Toni Schneider will be CEO. I expect 2026 will be an important year for Bluesky, presumably with new ideas for increasing revenue beyond domain name registration.

John Brayton blogs about Unread 4.8, with syncing to Inkwell, faster link articles, and more.

Bluesky: "The reason we have enough money for a war is that we get to print money because we have the reserve currency that the whole world uses. So we could afford to buy you a house or pay for your healthcare or forgive your student loan debt but we don’t do it because I don’t know."

Thanks @numericcitizen for creating a video of Inkwell with a closer look at everything! Lots of good details in here.

This is hard to believe, but I introduced a bug minutes before blogging about Inkwell. Sync was partially broken. Apologies to folks who tried it right away, it should be returning to normal now.

IT’S BEEN A FEW YEARS, BUT TIME AGAIN FOR A M.O.D.O.K! ORIGINALLY POSTED to MARCHMODOKMADNESS.BLOGSPOT.COM

Today we’re releasing a new RSS feed reader called Inkwell. It’s a companion product to Micro.blog, so you’ll sign in with your existing Micro.blog account. Inkwell is a special take on RSS. It has many features you’d expect in an RSS reader, but it also adds integration wit...

Ran into some last-minute problems with my bridge to Feedbin. Going to have to disable that feature for launch. I’m a fan of Feedbin, so not happy to do this, but it’ll be something else we can roll out in the future.

I came across this post entitled On the emotional weight of a life in medicine via the Bear Blog Trending RSS feed. It talks a bit about code blue situations, and the natural stress of taking responsibility for attempting to take a person who is crashing — their heart stopped — and making that stop...

Four full weeks of paying more attention to phone screen time are behind us, and it’s time for some closing thoughts on this experiment. But first, a quick recap of how the final week went. The average was slightly higher than the previous 3 weeks, and that was mainly due ...

Looks like ChatGPT is back at #1 in the App Store. Claude had bumped it out of that spot for about a week. App Store rankings are just recent trends, so maybe we’ll see some flip-flopping going forward based on the news cycle.

In my previous post, I mentioned that I’ve used the web install API in production. Specifically, I’ve used it on The Session. In order to do that, I had to register for the origin trial. I’ve just signed up for another origin trial. This time it’s for the proposed focusgrou...
