⏳ STLduJour(nal)

Β 

As part of my day, I read the news.

I've developed a workflow with Netnewswire, Applescript, Markdown and BBEdit that allows me to post a nicely formatted summary of links.

Most of that news is already here, just not evenly categorized.

The STLduJour(nal) is curated for your enjoyment.

You can also follow the #STLduJour hashtag on Mastodon.
