  1. When it comes to counting sheets of paper, have you heard of these quantities?
    • quire: 24 or 25 sheets
    • ream: 500
    • bundle: 1,000
    • bale: 5,000
    Or do you just buy a package of paper or box of paper?

    Paper was so valuable and important as a resource, there were specific terms for the different types, thicknesses, and quantities.

    This is less relevant in today's world of screens.

  4. @fiee @sr_rolando @HWiesenmueller TIL: #Quire! Das kannte ich tatsächlich noch nicht. Wenn ich das richtig sehe, ist das eine Open-Source Variante von Formatierungs-Software wie Vellum oder Atticus. Auch sehr spannend. Pandoc kenn ich noch hier von Mastodon. Kommt auf meine Linkliste. :) Danke! =)

  5. This sounds really interesting:

  6. CW: Quire #uxFail

    Wanted to test #Quire, so downloaded and tried to sign up in the iOS app. Emphasis on tried, because there are so many #uxFail I’m shocked.

    First, your name is whatever is before the @ in your email. You can edit the name field, but it will reset as soon as you change focus.

    Second, if you want to use another email, you must go back.

    Third: using a password manager to enter a password, it will promptly clear the field.
