I do something similar to notes to self, but with iMessage. I created a second iCloud account that I only ever text cool links or notes or images that I want to use later. Then I go through and delete what I’m done with. I have my iMessages set up to auto-delete if they are older than 30 days, so anything I don’t get to ends up gone anyway. Helps prevent me from just stockpiling things. I prefer this system to email because I don’t want email on my phone.
I’m a relatively longtime subscriber and read almost every post but in the past months have noticed that the sections from “CD” usually read like they’re written by AI. I’ll probably unsubscribe if this continues. Any chance it will stop? Thanks!
I've been using my email Drafts folder as a "scratchpad" as long as I can remember. I also copy across several email accounts for safety/redundancy. There are hundreds of "emails" in there, though perhaps only a couple dozen that are being actively used/updated. Most mail programs/interfaces will only let you edit items in their drafts folder...
Thanks for the suggestion of Vienna, but I have been using Feedly since Google Reader disappeared and have never seen anything spammy. What did you experience?

I don't know what it's like today, but Feedly has a sordid, spammy history. Why not recommend a nice open-source solution like Vienna...?

Using certain email lists with Feedly, it would scrape the group's membership list and start spamming all the members...
I don't get the email lists. Isn't Feedly an RSS reader?
Doesn't matter. Either has, or had, some sort of list functionality, and it caused much consternation among us Yahoogroups users...
Yahoogroups? Are we talking 20 years ago?
Loved learning about Best case scenarios 🫡
