Like the native Micro.blog client apps, Inkwell for web and macOS are open source. We aren’t great at incorporating contributions into the shipping versions, but it feels right. With AI-assisted development, the code itself is not as valuable as the whole package — design, infrastructure, etc.

The NBA’s Expansion Gambit Is About Getting Bigger, Not Better

The NBA’s Expansion Gambit Is About Getting Bigger, Not Better
