Fascinating piece on the future of digital reading. Your point about Arc browser Peek feature is so spot-on - that floating preview window really does solve the distraction problem of opening links in new tabs. It is funny how digital books have not really evolved much beyond being digitized physical books. For those stuck on Chrome or Firefox who want that same link preview magic, NoTab brings Arc-style Peek to other browsers. Would love to see more experiments in non-linear storytelling like you mentioned.

Arc was something new. But interestingly they have not kept the floating preview as big in the next version of their ai browser. :(

I will savour the newsletter all week long (as I usually do), Pritesh. Thanks again for putting all this fascinating stuff together.

For now, my focus went on Diego Cabezas and his designs. Something magical about them. And, coincidentally for my upcoming article this Thursday I was experimenting with line drawings (AI-generated of course) over the weekend. Let’s see!

Actually I did not publish the article with the line drawing this week since I got an idea to publish that (and similar articles) in the form of my next book - yes, it is in the works :-) … I will send over a draft version of the article your way 1:1 :-)

Oh my god!

Here every post is an effort and struggle, and you're minting book drafts at this speed... :)

Jokes aside, looking forward to what's coming my way...
