Yesterday I was asked something about a project I’d worked on two years ago. At that time I’d used Curio to help manage the project. I opened the Curio project and within thirty seconds of just looking at the workspace I had a handle on the project and

Unless I’m doing some crazy non-standard layout, I’m not a fan of using WordPress’ Gutenberg editor. Mostly I just want to type some simple text and add a link or two. Last year I bought a license for Iceberg which is a lightweight Gutenberg replacement that feels more
I'm almost certainly using Zotero wrong. Instead of for citations and research, I'm using Zotero as a bookmarking tool and read-later service, and it's working really well. Is no one else doing this? I've used many tools meant for saving links for
