I’ve been sitting on this one while I got TerminalWidget launched. FileRouter is out — Mac App Store and direct via Paddle (and coming soon to Setapp, give it a couple days) — and I want to tell you what it is before I bury you in feature lists.

Graffiti Moe has been a moderate success — enough people spraying the wall that it felt worth pushing further. So I did. I added a few features that make composing more fun and keeping the wall cleaner a lot less work.

I like little terminal messages the way people used to like — something short that shows up when you open a shell and reminds you the machine isn’t entirely boring. I wanted a place for custom quotes, and then I wondered “what if other people could write them?”. So I built graffiti.moe: a tiny public wall you spray from the browser, and read from the terminal.

I’ve always wanted a personal dashboard that actually stays out of the way. Not another browser tab. Not a full-screen monitoring app. Just the numbers and status I care about — sales, transfer speeds, uptime, whether that long-running script is still chewing — available the moment I look.

I finally got the Marked 3 Obsidian plugin into the official community directory. It can now be installed from within Obsidian with no manual-install rigamarole.

I’ve been chipping away at my PopClip extensions again, and this round is a bigger deal than usual. Not because of any one flashy feature, but because the packaging and interaction model finally caught up with how I actually want these things to work.

If you’ve ever pressed Spacebar in Finder and gotten the wrong Quick Look preview — plain text instead of Markdown, someone else’s renderer, or a blank stare from macOS — you already know the pain. PluginKit registrations are fiddly, conflicting extensions are common, and the fix usually involves a scavenger hunt through Terminal.

Marked QL, my new Markdown Quick Look previewer, has met a warm reception, and I wanted to update everyone on a couple of things.

I gave a presentation at Macstock X that I thought people might be interested in. It was about Markdown publishing, and ostensibly about Marked, although I didn’t get to as much about Marked as I had intended. It still went pretty well.

I’ve been working on something small but useful, and it’s out now: Marked QL, a Quick Look extension that renders Markdown previews right in Finder. Select a file, hit Spacebar, and you get a real preview — not plain text, not a sad monospace dump, but actual formatted output with math, diagrams, syntax highlighting, the works.

If you use NA, you’re going to love this: the Rust rewrite is noticeably faster than the original Ruby gem — especially in prompt hooks, where a quick into a project shouldn’t mean waiting on a script before you get your shell back. Same commands, same TaskPaper files, less lag.
