A curated weekly · est. 2023 · Bristol
Every Thursday I send one short letter: a handful of things worth your attention, a tool I actually used this week, and a small idea about making. No firehose. No hot takes. Just the good offcuts.
Free, weekly, and easy to leave. Join 6,400 designers, writers, and tinkerers.
You're on the list, friend. Issue 88 lands Thursday.
This week · Issue 87
No. 87 · 25 June 2026
On version history as a creative tool — why the makers I trust most keep everything, throw away nothing, and treat “revert” as a place to think rather than a panic button. Plus a beautiful little diffing app, two essays on revision, and a font that ages gracefully.
Read issue 87What lands in your inbox
Offcuts is deliberately small. I’d rather you read all of it than skim a digest. Each issue is the same simple shape:
A short note from the workbench
One idea I’ve been chewing on — usually about craft, attention, or how a thing got made.
Five hand-picked links
No algorithms. Things I read, watched, or got lost in — each with a sentence on why it’s worth your time.
Tool of the week
One app, plugin, or object I actually used — and exactly what I used it for.
It takes four minutes to read and one click to leave. That’s the whole pitch.
