Weekly Notes #3

Hello everyone,

I hope you had a great and warm week! I’m done with all the cold 🥶 and hopefully next week will have some sun ☀️. Moreover, I tried a fun experiment of using Twitter without all the numbers(like, comment, followers, following, etc.) and to my surprise it was a much better twitter experience. If you also want to try it out, then I will recommend checking Minimal Twitter.
