Hey, you might want to update the "Free software for making shit" section:

- Affinity Photo, Publisher and Designer have been merged into a program called just "Affinity" and now it's completely free.

- OnlyOffice is also a great FOSS word processor, much better suited for people used to Micro$oft Word.

- Please recommend Tenacity instead of Audacity, it's a fork from before the corporate enshittification.

- For music composing, LMMS is hard to beat.

- For 3D shit, go with blender.

- Shotcut is also a good FOSS video editor for beginners.


By the way, amazing book thing, love it. So motivational, makes me want to just go make some shit.

I was sure that I wrote comment but I didn't - "Just make 💩" is brilliant and what is the most important: INSPIRING🔥

This ties together inspiration and grounding in reality of creative work, I love it and highly recommend it. 

Thank you Diogo for this beautiful manifesto 🙏❤️🔥💩

I especially agree with the point to just get started to get the bad stuff out of the way - no first try at anything ever was gold. My favourite anecdote is from a fellow artist who describes how at art school, a task asked for spaceship designs - five HUNDRED of them. And it sounded insane. But if you look at it, your first hundred are all the well-known ones, then your lesser-known favourites, then derivates thereof. THEN you get to the interesting ones. Great job on this one!

Wonderful manifesto! Just to let you know, I'll be stealing quite a lot of shit from you. ;)

Don't know if it's in the final but I noted you have 'Seal Like an Artist' instead of "Steal" on the Cross that Sh*t out page.

will fix that! It’s the aschan edition! The final version maybe expanded!

New files should have this fixed!

This is fantastic.

Thank you! I had fun making it and trying to distill how I try to work!
