From Document to Everywhere

A finished document does not have to stay a document. Publish it as a page anyone can read, or spin it into a structured list, without retyping a word.

A little feature we have on our blog, yes, we do indeed have the actual RSS feed unlike many these days. If you've got a reader, you can subscribe! But if you'd rather get posts via email, we do that too. https://interlinedlist.com/blog

Two Cursors, One Document Part 6 of 7: Documents in the Wild Janice and Theo are writing a chapter together, and they have a system that has failed them for years. It is called chapter_final_FINAL_v3_theo_edits.docx, and every writing pair on earth has some version of it. It sucks. https://interlinedlist.com/blog/two-cursors-one-document

Two Cursors, One Document

The cursor you do not recognize is a feature, not a bug. Two people, one draft, and a merge that keeps your words instead of making you choose whose survive.

Taming a Hundred Files I used to think folders were clutter, honestly. I have changed my mind. A shallow folder tree is the cheapest organization you can buy, and Documents has one built for exactly this. https://interlinedlist.com/blog/taming-a-hundred-files

Taming a Hundred Files

One document is a joy. A hundred is a search problem. Folders are the cheapest organization you can buy, and this is how they work before the pile becomes a mess.

A Toolbar, Some Shortcuts, and a Picture Markdown is lovely, and you can absolutely hand-type it. But the editor does not make you, and that is the point of this post. https://interlinedlist.com/blog/a-toolbar-some-shortcuts-and-a-picture

A Toolbar, Some Shortcuts, and a Picture

Not everyone wants to memorize what two asterisks mean. Good. There is a toolbar, four shortcuts worth learning, and a way to drop a photo exactly where your cursor is.

Sharing Without the Chaos Part 5 of 7: Documents in the Wild Sam edits. Sam works with a freelance writer named Jo, and Jo does not have an InterlinedList account and has no particular plans to get one. Sam needs Jo to read the style guide, and later needs Jo to actually edit a draft, and does not want to email a Google Doc link that thirty people will end up forwarding. This is the classic sharing headache, and it is the thing this feature is built to remove. https://interlinedlist.com/blog/sharing-without-the-chaos

Sharing Without the Chaos

Three roles, a link that expires, and an invite you can send to someone who does not even have an account yet. Sharing a document, without the permissions headache.

Getting some serious automation capabilities built into InterlinedList right now. Some of these are going to knock your socks off! 👊🏻 That is all for now.

The Long-Form Room When you don't need a mere message, and need to put together more thought into the though!

280 vs 300 vs 500, and Other Fights One 600-character thought, three different outcomes, decided by each network's own ceiling. https://interlinedlist.com/blog/280-vs-300-vs-500-and-other-fights

280 vs 300 vs 500, and Other Fights

X caps you at 280, Bluesky at 300, Mastodon at 500, and LinkedIn barely blinks. Here is what happens to one long post when it hits four different walls, plus where images and video fit.

Write it now, pick when it goes out, close the laptop. https://interlinedlist.com/blog/writing-now-posting-later-2

Writing Now, Posting Later

I do my best writing at 11 p.m. and my best posting at 9 a.m., and those two facts used to be in permanent conflict. Scheduled posts fixed it.

Flip the Switch: Going Public One checkbox. Everything to the left of it is the same. Everything downstream of it is different. https://interlinedlist.com/blog/flip-the-switch-going-public

Flip the Switch: Going Public

Let me introduce a different version of me for this one. Call her the build-in-public founder. She is shipping a small app, she is doing it in the open, and she has learned the hard way that working entirely in private is a great way to finish something nobody wants. She wants the accountability of an audience and the…

Reading Your Own Timeline. Your wall, newest first. Every post you have written, private ones included, in the order they happened. I tell of the rebuilding a small synth pedal to elaborate on usage. Give it a read, it'll land you a few more ideas on how to get value out of your message wall. https://interlinedlist.com/blog/reading-your-own-timeline

The Scratchpad You Already Have - making more use of a time-series based micro-blogging (are there more key words?)... anyway give the post a read. This lays out an effective and useful *use* for messages beyond the standard "Post a public message." scenario. https://interlinedlist.com/blog/the-scratchpad-you-already-have

The One Box The whole feature, more or less. A box, a counter, a checkbox... https://interlinedlist.com/blog/the-one-box

Working on some next stage Termporal.io work to make InterlinedList - let's just say better - in numerous resilient and temporal ways.
