Subscribing To Newsletters Is Easy, Reading Them Should Be Too.
Not only do I write Web Tools Weekly, but I subscribe to and read a lot of them myself. But with more newsletters comes more responsibility, and my inbox can’t always keep up. I recently found Khaki, a free app built exclusively for managing and reading newsletters.
 

Khaki

They’re still in beta, but the interface is super clean and distraction-free, which makes keeping up with your favorite reads easier than ever.

Before I Go...

Here's a challenging new daily puzzle: Clues By Sam. In the game, there's a grid of people and you have to figure out who is a criminal and who is innocent based on the clues given as you reveal each one. The difficult levels seem impossible if you ask me – but maybe I just don't have the brain for this!

Thanks to all for subscribing and reading!

Keep tooling,
