Web Excursions are select bookmarks from my travels around the interwebs, because I'm always thinking about you while discovering other people's cool stuff. You mean that much to me. You can see all of my (public) bookmarks on Pinboard, and visit the bookmarks archive for curated lists across the last few years.

Web excursions brought to you in partnership with Backblaze. Back up everything.

A Guide to Palettes - Diagrams
Diagrams 2.0 is out, available on the Mac App Store and Setapp. The new release features customizable palettes for making more flexible flow charts and diagrams.
TextBuddy for macOS – Faster than your IDE and easier than the command line
A new app from Tyler Hall that can perform all kinds of transformations on text with just a couple of keystrokes. Includes OCR and audio/video transcription capabilities. I tried it out for 5 minutes and immediately purchased.
NotePlan
I’ve mentioned NotePlan before, the Markdown-notes-meets-calendar-meets-tasks app for Mac and iOS, but it’s worth pointing out again. Eduard recently added text folding and hidden Markdown links, among other things. Check out this YouTube video for details, as well as a look at how he uses NotePlay for Zettelkasten.
Nord Theme
Via Martin Smith, if you still like dark themes in your IDE, this one is beautiful.
