Not-yet-profitable AI companies are constructing a vast and expensive global network of server farms to support cloud-based generative AI (genAI) services. Deeply financed by venture capitalists who will one day want to see return on their investments, these centers are consuming enough memory to drive consumer technology prices higher and higher.

Keeping help documentation screenshots up to date is tedious. Every time the UI changes, you end up manually opening windows, hiding distractions, capturing images, cropping them, generating @2x versions, and dropping files into the right folders. I got tired of that workflow for Marked, so I built an AppleScript that does most of it for me.

Moving my tasks away from apps to plain text lists was supposed to simplify everything. To take the pressure off. So why have I spent so many years optimising them?

I finally accept that I currently just don’t find sufficient spare time for my beloved little blogging engine anymore. From now on, Fraenkiman is head of the FlatPress project.

If you have ever copied a grid table out of a Pandoc doc or academic paper and wished your Markdown processor would just deal with it, this one is for you.
