This is a fantastic piece from @jihad Not only did it put into words how I've been feeling about my personal sense of agency, but it also articulates a vector for the type of work I want to be doing (building products that help people build their own agency).

I'm committing to writing a monthly "investor update" for @firstdraftclub. (There are no investors, but it's a good framing for sharing my thinking about the project.) Here's the first one! Subscribe on Paragraph to get the rest https://paragraph.xyz/@firstdraftclub/february-25-investor-update

If you're building something, you should publish a detailed changelog. It becomes great material for an FAQ, Perplexity searches, etc.

Super excited about what Paragraph has in store after streamlining the design 👀 “We plan to experiment with a variety of novel monetization features aimed at helping writers earn money for their ideas without having to become a full-time writer.”

The bar to entry for building products has been significantly lowered. Which means the bar for winning (and keeping) users has been raised.

The most difficult part of writing is actively managing feedback loops. The more I write, the more I realize I want to invest in designing better loops. https://paragraph.xyz/@markfishman/writing-=-feedback-loops

‼️ Make sure you are registered as a Democrat* by February 14th to be able to vote in the NYC mayoral primary in June! (*I don't care what political party you personally identify with, but let's be honest: the real election for NYC mayor is the Democratic primary.) NYC has closed primaries, which means you need to be a registered Democrat to vote in the Democratic primary (same for Republicans). If you are part of the ~20% of independent voters in NYC, make sure your voice is heard. More details + how to check/switch your registration: https://www.thecity.nyc/2025/01/29/switch-party-voter-primary-deadline-registration/

I’ve had a Brick (getbrick.app) for a couple months but never really used it Last week I set a reminder to Brick my phone each night so I wouldn’t be distracted by apps in the morning Huge success so far – been keeping those apps blocked most of the day!

Update: the owner apparently came back to the dog run two hours later after "getting a coffee" and asked where the dog was. Somebody there called the people who had stepped up to re-home the dog and they brought them back. I guess it's a happy ending? Although doesn't seem like the most responsible owner...

Yesterday, in a spontaneous choice to be more social and connect with my local community (one of my 2025 resolutions), I stopped into a new coffee shop that just opened a few blocks away. They're not fully set up yet, but I had passed a few times and wanted to say hi. I ended up chatting with the barista and met the owner, who took me on a "tour" of the space – he's planning on cleaning up the backyard (unused by the previous occupants) and turning it into a community space. The whole encounter was probably less than 10 minutes but was the most connected I felt all week.
