Happy Friday, makers. The X (Twitter) competition is heating up. Tumblr just launched its new design, and it looks quite familiar. 

In today’s digest:

• Need to get something off your chest? Shout into the Abyss

• Interview coming up? Let AI coach you

• Turn research papers into code 

Do you ever just need to shout into the abyss? It could be pent-up frustration, emotional therapy, or exciting news that you just need to get off your chest. Whatever the reason, shouting into the abyss has been a time-tested tradition for millennia, and now there’s an app for it. 

The Abyss is an ultra-minimal writing app designed to encourage you to let your thoughts flow. It’s kind of like a secret spot where you can go to share your thoughts, happy, sad, and anything in between. 

The simplicity of the concept is matched by its functionality. Once you open the app, you will be asked if you want to be a user or remain anonymous. From there, you can either start a post or let The Abyss guide you with prompts. Once you’re happy with your brain dump, you can save it to review later. 

Maker Solomon Shalom Ligo describes it as “a magical spot where people's thoughts come out. It's a bit like a treasure chest for thoughts! When you're here, you don't need to be shy – you can talk about anything that's in your head.”

So if there’s been something on your mind lately and you really have to let it out, maybe try shouting into…
