I use yellow legal pads and 4x6" notecards... and probably ship more substantive writing than 96% of people on the planet.

Indeed. I got cookied by Google Ads and likely, many other platforms, while reading it.

I am old school. I write books and print them out to edit with red pen. Need all of Word's print features. Not everyone is a "digital writer."

Hate that if you use Word for Mac, you now have Copilot next to your cursor with no way of turning it off.

I just want to use Word. I like its print layout features better than Pages. I don't want to switch. Just let me write and leave me alone. Now they're jamming AI down my throat without any opt-out mechanism.

Niklas Luhmann's systems theory rests on autopoiesis.

Some of the worst advice I read comes from some of the smartest people out there.

Sad. I did $403k last month as an independent writer. All analog publishing. None of it from KDP. Be careful what advice you listen to.

Cool idea and implementation. Great job.

I personally hand draw diagrams and then recreate them in Balsamiq (old school).

I, myself, won't use it because there's a lot of creation and innovation that happens in the transition phase when going from hand-drawn sketches to creating the diagrams.

I agree. Not everything has to be a conspiracy. Microsoft looked at a $10m+/year cost center, and deemed it unnecessary (which it arguably was), and snipped it.
