Logbook 2026-10-28

Today I handed over my backlog.

The first part lives in Safari. Over time I’ve kept tabs open, well over a hundred by now: articles on design systems, essays, tools worth a closer look. Each one was chosen because it caught my interest, and then it simply stayed there, unprocessed. Open tabs had become a waiting room that never empties.

The second part is older. For years I’ve been adding RSS feeds to NetNewsWire, one by one, to get a single, centralised stream of articles from the sources I hold dearest: designers, developers, writers. The habit made sense, but the feeds grew to more than two hundred and fifty, far more than I could keep up with.

Both are forms of curation. Every saved tab and every subscribed feed is a small decision that something deserves my attention. What I want now is for all that effort to wake up and serve me the way it should, instead of piling up.

So the tabs and the feeds went to the system today. It won’t take on everything at once: it starts with a small set of the feeds closest to what I’m exploring right now, along with the tabs. Nothing has gone through yet; the first real batch is for next time.
