If you run a website and aren’t serving your assets from a CDN, I want to highly recommend that you do so. I’ve seen significant performance improvements simply by redirecting my image, CSS, and JS requests to a CDN instead of serving them from a server like DreamHost. I like DreamHost just fine, but the time it takes to serve a file and the download speeds it offers are not… optimal.

First, there seems to be a misconception that Dimspirations are generated with AI or some other such trickery. I want to assure you that, while the entire process of posting them is automated, each Dimspiration is lovingly crafted by me in Affinity Photo1.

I’m excited to offer the next giveaway, 3 licenses ($19.99 value each) for The Archive. While everyone is waiting for nvUltra to finally be released, The Archive stepped in quite a while ago to fill the gap left as nvALT (and Notational Velocity) get long in the tooth. If you’re a fan of the modal note taking of NV, you’ll love The Archive.

I haven’t mentioned this setup for a while and thought I’d remind everyone, especially newer readers, about a rabbit hole they might choose to go down. I haven’t updated or changed any of these scripts since posting, and they’re all still working well.

I wanted short urls for Dimspirations, and I wanted a custom domain name (dim.moi), but didn’t want to pay the somewhat exorbitant prices to do so with something like Bit.ly. So I set out to build my own URL shortener.

I’m excited to offer the next giveaway, 3 licenses ($29.99 value each) for Bike. Bike is a deceptively simple outliner. It uses plain text files (HTML, but also supports OPML and text) to store structured data that maintain simplicity while offering a ton of functionality. Add row types like headings, ordered lists, task lists, and more. Create deep-links into your outline (works great with Hookmark).
