I'm amazed at how good Quiche browser for iOS is and how quickly I adapted. Switched two months ago and immediately loved it. Customizing the toolbar to just what I want and nothing more is a delight. Fast, lovely to use, and many nice touches. Thanks for the spreading the word @daringfireball quiche.industries/browser/

I'm thrilled that Lexxy became a reality, and that we pushed past the thousands of reasons not to take it on. There are always more pressing things than making a new text editor! But it's been so worth it. And it's constantly improving.

Big thanks to @jorgemanru for taking a week to prove that it was possible. And that was back when we chiseled code by hand around a campfire 😂

Lexxy 1.0 is here, and we are going to make it the Rails default.

Lexxy answers a question we’ve been wrestling with at @37signals for years: what should we do with such a critical component of our apps? For a long time, we didn't see a clear path, but now it is here, and it is better than we anticipated. That makes this project especially meaningful to me.

Kudos to @bb for pushing for it, to @zoltanhosszu and Sam Péchèr for making it very real, and to the many other folks who have contributed so far.

An Ode to Summer Hours world.hey.com/bb/summer-hour…

We work four days a week during the summer. But it’s not just that summer is better, it’s that fall is, too. The shift back to normal weeks makes it feel new and different.

Think of it like intervals when you’re working out. You can go further because you're not just pushing through at the exact same pace indefinitely.
world.hey.com Summer Hours At 37signals, we work four days a week during the summer. It's called Summer Hours. I remember reading about it long before I joined and thinking it sounded pretty great. And it won’t surprise you to...
