Manuel Moreale said it better than I did: The Browser Company, creator of the now almost dead Arc browser, pivoting to AI isn’t any more interesting than every other company that tacks on AI to their product.
On Thursday I’m going to be chatting with Binary Digit about streaming, Discord, and community around Twitch and things. Starting at noon Eastern time (if I have my timezones right 😆) on my Twitch channel.
Which came first: Motion or Notion? I know Motion, the Apple video app, came way before both. But now in 2025 there’s a productivity app called Motion as well. I feel like they should be sued by Apple AND Notion for infringing on naming their software too close, but I’m not a lawyer.

Don’t worry Canada. I emailed Tim Sweeney to find out when Fortnite will be available in the App Store up here. I’m sure he just forgot to click the “eh” version. 😜
