The Manual #63 - Act like god sent you

Social media and news is constantly feeding us how messed up everything is. When in reality, the world is in a better place than it’s ever been.

The time is now. There’s no waiting for tomorrow. Now is when you take action and do the thing.

Instead of looking at what’s wrong constantly, we should be looking at what’s right.

The quality of life in general has shot up massively over the past 100 years. The access we have to resources is better than the kings and queens from a century ago.

Life really can be electric if you want to make it so.

Prices are going up

Summer sale ends tomorrow for platsupply.com. You can use the code SUMMER2025.

We’re also upping the prices of nearly everything from the beginning of September.

This is the last chance to get everything at the lowest price it will ever be.

Link Lowdown

A collection of links to stuff I think are worth sharing. You can also find more links on linklowdown.com

Spill — a minimal mac writing app.

Voicenotes — an AI voice notes app.

Cassette — a cool VHS style player for your home videos.

Cobot — pretty unique to-do list that’s more like a OS.

Tuple — pair programming app, but the website is beautifully.

Jan AI — an open source alternative to ChatGPT and it’s private. I don’t know if most people know, but their conversations with ChatGPT aren’t completely private.

Eleven Labs Music — ngl, this was pretty mind blowing in what it can produce. Might start using it to produce background music for YouTube videos.

The Garage — this might be every car guy’s dream.
