My substack post “on archiving, collecting, sharing, and using the internet” partly inspired by using this app.

i know self-promotion is lame, but I genuinely want people to know that I love this app and also i love the internet as a tool for archiving and sharing and understanding my own tastes. Love you PI.FYI, love you internet.

pearlesque thank you! I often wonder what id post on these kinds of apps if I did it anonymous, but the older I get the more I think it would mostly be the same, which I guess is nice

this is such a lovely article! so true as well about the question of whether we subconsciously curate our supposedly ‘uncurated’ archives… i always worry about what people will think of my letterboxd

Our new column, Browser History!

INTERNET, MON AMOUR BY BRAD PHILLIPS Want to pitch us? Email [email protected]
Everyone’s taste is different, but many of us formed ours the same way: by scouring the internet, researching, and cataloging everything that interested us. The phenomenon has existed since the early days of the internet, before everything became a product sold to us through algorithms and advertisements. Our new column, Browser History, is about these formative early internet experiences — the memories of forums, message boards, chat rooms, and other bits of internet ephemera that shaped the taste of today. We're very excited to kick this off with a piece from Brad Philips. He's one of my favorite writers, an early PI guest, a Pi.FYI user (@BRAD-PHILLIPS) and more recently - a friend. Enjoy <3

Using ur apps a little bit like a diary

Yes in form im posting recommendations, but in content im weaving narrative threads. Dropping hints. Developing themes. Check my goodreads & yelp reviews and you'll find a cross-platform confessional hidden in plain sight.
