Bi-Weekly Wednesday Newsletter no. 129[GREETING GOES HERE] What's Going OnI didn't draw anything so I'm just gonna talk about Mudboard MudboardIt's been about 3 months and I think things have evolved. I wrote a lil article about why Mudboard should exist. So remember how I have this grid format with like a "mirror mode." It was cool, but I realized it didn't too anything too unique. Next thing I tried, I built a way to reuse the references (the right panel) I think it's useful, but I think it's too new of a concept. Could work in the future. A lot of people were asking for a way to resize images. And I couldn't figure it out on the grid mode, so found a way to switch between a freeform canvas and grid format. Doing this was a big move, cause there's so many more possibilities now. Most recently I made a thing to let people export their boards, which changed things a lot. Now people can make something with the app. That's crazy I have to work on improving my on-boarding, cause I don't think it's clear exactly how people should use this. But I think I stumbled into something....we'll see if it works out. What I've been thinking aboutI think whether I succeed or fail with Mudboard, I'll have grown a ton. And I've already grown so much! I'm learning a lot about working through uncertainty right now. I don't really know exactly what the future is, but I know generally where to go next, and that's all I can do anyways. If nothing works out I can probably just do some random tech job or draw more comics for people Thank you!Next Newsletter on August 6th! Shop | Previous posts | Main website |

Bi-Weekly Wednesday Newsletter no. 138 [GREETING GOES HERE] What's Going On I don't have any drawings lol, so here's just what Quail is Long term goal is to help people understand what they learn. Everyone has enough information and content already. You can probably find whatever info you want. I think what's missing really is deep understanding and real mastery. But right now (3 months in), it's just a reader app where you can read content little by little. And if you make highlights or save...
