Every few months, someone asks me what apps I use to stay organized. Usually after seeing a screenshot of my desktop or hearing me reference something I scanned three years ago that I can actually find in seconds.

How to Back Up Your Claude Code Setup to the Cloud
pCloud Backup choked on my dev directory. Hundreds of “doesn’t have permissions to upload this item” errors, all on .part files inside node_modules, dist, and .next build outputs.

Browser extensions can remove the algorithmic traps built into YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn and more. Here is what I use and why it works.
WooCommerce Feed Aggregation: The Product Use Cases Worth Knowing About
Most conversations about feed aggregation in WordPress orbit the same use case: pulling in blog posts, news items, curated content. That’s useful, and I’ve written about it separately. But if you run a WooCommerce store, or you’re building ecommerce tooling on WordPress, the more interesting territory is product data. Product feeds. Supplier catalogs. Affiliate networks. […]
Your WooCommerce Store’s Blog Is Probably Dead. Here’s How RSS Feeds Can Fix That.
The blog on most WooCommerce stores is either dead or posting once every six weeks. That’s not a content strategy. It’s a placeholder. I get why it happens.
