Me, 2022: I have all these USB sticks and I can never remember what's in what. My label maker makes labels too big to fit on them, so I'll just label them with the first letter of what I put on them, and it will be easy to remember which is which later
Now that I'm staring at a 32" 6K monitor, my strategy of just cranking up the font size in a single full-screen window is no longer viable for writing prose.
Does anyone have a (Markdown-friendly) writing app they like that has a full-screen focus mode that can present the current sentence bolded in the center of the screen in a hilariously large font?
@searls I've been using Obsidian (which makes use of Markdown) and was just able to configure it that way more-or-less using community plugins. The Typewriter Scroll plugin mentioned here seems to work pretty well: https://curtismchale.ca/2021/12/15/obsidian-plugins-to-focus-on-your-writing/. Then I installed a full screen mode plugin and cranked up the zoom level. It's not quite "hilariously large". But I suspect that's fixable using another plugin? Here's a screenshot.
I like audiobooks that are on the lighter side — eg more towards plot-driven for fiction or pop-sci for non-fiction. And either way for straightforward utilitarian writing than flowery or poetic.
@jacob Trevor Noah’s biography “Born a Crime”, concerning his upbringing under apartheid in South Africa is really well done. I often bounce off audio books because of the narration. But this one is actually better for it. It’s “lighter” in the engaging/punchy sense. Obviously there’s apartheid related content that isn’t light subject matter.
