What lands in your inbox

Three slots a week, each with a clear job. No 2,000-word essays. No "10 ways AI will change everything." Just useful things you can use today.

Monday

The drop

Three to five tools we vetted this week, plus what they replace and what they cost. No filler entries.

Wednesday

The teardown

One tool, taken apart. Pricing tricks, lock-in risks, the alternative we like better, the workflow we built around it.

Friday

The shortlist

A category roundup. Best tools for one specific job, ranked, with the reasoning shown.

What we won't do

Plain rules, written down so you can hold us to them.
