@jsonbecker Oh, I love this topic. 🤓 And I don’t think they’ve even “gotten” same-y, either (though I could be wrong!) — cover design definitely follows trends. Same with film posters. I love looking at, say, a dozen movies released in 2017 and compare their posters with each other than with movies released this year. I’d bet book covers, especially bestsellers from the big publishers, do likewise!

@canion Nice shout-out to NNW! You also mentioned DEVONThink, and I’ve just started using that as my RSS reader. We’ll see how it goes, but DT is such a cool app I’m inclined to squeeze as much value from it as I can. 😋 If it can be a one-stop shop for all web reading — and perhaps the notes taken from such reading — that’d be the ultimate.
