The browser for research I'm building, Horse, is now alpha! 🐎 Horse turns *how* your browse; clicking links and going deeper and deeper on topics, into a logical sidebar. 🧐 Instead of having a flat list of tabs where you don't remember how or why you opened them. 😵‍💫

@GretaThunberg 👏 Amazing! Can’t make it up… 1. Tate suspended from Twitter 2. Musk buys Twitter, re-instates Tate 3. Tate argues with Thunberg over cars 4. Tate reveals his location with pizza box 5. Tate is arrested, Thunberg posts this 😂

@levelsio I studied branding for 4 years so you don’t have to! 1. You *have* to be memorable. Be unique, not pretty. 2. Pick things that mean nothing. You will give them meaning. 3. Established brands are toxic inspiration; you are small. 4. Do not pick a name autocorrect would fix.
