Shipping another free community tool: Slickshot (https://ss.outstep.co) My favorite screenshot beautifier went down recently. I loved it, used it daily, and didn’t want to lose the workflow. So I dug into their public GitHub repo and rebuilt my own version for the community. Credit to the original repo I used: https://lnkd.in/ezVkchw8 Sticking to my "free tools for community" mission, I first launched QuickNote - a fast, minimal scratchpad for ideas: https://lnkd.in/eJe7MRPs Now, Slickshot - a simple, clean way to make screenshots look great in seconds: https://ss.outstep.co If you build products, design, code, or share visuals regularly, try Slickshot (https://ss.outstep.co) and QuickNote (https://lnkd.in/eJe7MRPs). Tell me what breaks, what’s missing, and what would make them 10x more useful for you. I’m keeping these tools free, lightweight, and fast, so the community can move quickly.

Do you need a quick way to take people to a specific part of your document in 📄 #GoogleDocs? Adding a 📑 bookmark can help! When you insert bookmarks, denoted by a 🔷 blue icon, you can easily add references elsewhere in the document that link straight to the relevant section, letting people jump directly to the context they need. You can even share the link outside of the document so that people are taken to the right section immediately as they open it. To add a bookmark, 🖱️ click where you would like to add it and then select “Bookmark” from the Insert menu in the ⚒️ toolbar. You can add multiple bookmarks within the same document. 💡 Tip: you can already create links to any heading or tab without first needing to create a new bookmark.

Hear me out -- the problem with every notetaking system that has even the slightest traction is the slew of rabbit holes you fall down about how you can use them for personal organization Currently it's the entire category of tools (in my case Silverbullet) that resemble Obsidian -- that is, they offer backlinking, support plugins, and store everything in Markdown. Plugin availability will vary, but a lot of the ideas around using the backlinks to create notes for later will carry over, *and* with Markdown as a storage medium you can easily bring them over to other systems later (There's an excellent YouTube channel called No Boilerplate that just drove me back down this rabbit hole recently. Highly recommend also checking out "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Plain Text")

The recording of my presentation at the UTK Open Access Week is available on YouTube now: youtu.be/nBFAvvHiBmc Title: Open Publishing in Action: Creating Interactive Books with Jupyter Book and MyST Markdown In this hands-on session, I demonstrated various open-source tools and GitHub workflows for creating and publishing books, including setting up repositories, building websites, and managing content with JupyterBook and Markdown.

Distribution beyond my site 🧰 LLMs surface docs and code often. I seed canonical READMEs changelogs and docs where buyers search. I ensure those pages have clear titles summaries links and update dates so they are safe to cite. ✅ Action now: Publish a concise README or quickstart in a public repository or documentation hub with a one paragraph summary and a last updated line. 📍 Where could a concise README or how to guide live outside your marketing site? #Docs #GitHub #KnowledgeBase #LLMSEO #DeveloperRelations
