Does writing have a future? For my Zo Computer ⤫ Contra submission, I went head-on into finally making an ecommerce library for my literary projects. One could wonder... "Why would anyone read these days? Let me parse these words into an LLM and get a fast synthesis of the message".

Of course that can and should be done sometimes, but reading will always be an end in itself - within the pages of a book there will always be a door to a personal revolution, a hero to inspire us in different ways, the questions and answers we need to discover. Reading, in the era of AI and videos is not dead - and I stand by that claim. What literature needs, is a new way to be consumed, a new method to be... userly experienced. I have always envisioned many different ways to revolutionize such an ancient format of media - a media that is slow by nature, dense by origin and as rewarding as it is challenging to be protected as a habit in the times that we live.

@Zo Computer was the technology that enabled me to accomplish my vision for a whole new kind of reading, it helped me organize, structure and distribute my books with cutting-edge computational power and a fresh user experience that is quite addictive to use - and that I'm pretty sure I will be using it for more personal projects.

3 signs your business data is costing you money 📊

You can't answer basic questions instantly "What was last month's revenue?" — if finding the answer takes more than 2 minutes, your data is not structured properly.

You have data but no clarity Spreadsheets full of numbers but no clear view of what is growing, what is declining or what needs attention. Data without structure is just noise.

Every report feels like starting from scratch If preparing a weekly or monthly report takes hours instead of minutes — the system is broken, not the person doing it.

The fix is not expensive software.

A clean Excel dashboard built around your specific business takes 1 to 2 days to set up and saves hours every single week after that.

This is the right diagnosis. To add a 4th sign you know something is wrong with revenue but can't point to exactly where or how much. That gap between "sales feel off" and "here's the dollar figure on each leak" is usually a structural data problem before it's anything else. The...
