I added a new Upcoming feature to Release Notes:

I’m having a lot of fun journaling each days version.

If you’re on a subscription, treat the dollar figures as a measure of how fast you use up your limits rather than a bill. Recent weeks run about $2.1–2.5k each.
There are obvious efficiency improvements for me to make. 😬
This most recent issue of Arena all about Software looks really good. So much to dig into.
Some screenshots of my WT Builder custom app to create issues of the Weekly Thing. This was fun to work on and will give me a great base to build off of as the Weekly Thing evolves.
