Comparing Apple Notes to the Latest Version of Bear Notes. I don't primarily use Bear as my note-taking app because it's not available on multiple platforms. However, if you're already committed to the Apple ecosystem, I highly recommend Bear for note-taking purposes. It's incredibly fast and excellent for capturing spontaneous ideas that pop into your mind. I never miss capturing my ideas when using Bear.
How Huawei made a cutting-edge chip in China and surprised the US. This reminds me of a book titled "How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big." While I haven't read the book, and its content may not necessarily align with the article's content, the title reflects how Huawei is being crippled from every corner by the US and yet can still produce advanced products that surprise the US.
This small French company wants to build the open alternative to Kindle and Kobo. This piece provides me with a new perspective on the ebook ecosystem in Europe. While the US ebook market is primarily dominated by Amazon's Kindle and Kobo, in Europe, there is a small coalition of bookstores making similar efforts to capture the European ebook market. The distinction lies in the fact that it is run by different entities and is not controlled by a single corporation.
An ode to the neo-grotesque web. This piece resonates with me as well, and I wholeheartedly agree with its sentiments.
