Style and Content
Gruber has described his Daring Fireball writing as a "Mac column in the form of a weblog". The site is written in the form of a tumblelog with occasional articles that discuss Apple products and issues in related consumer technology.
Common article subjects are the media's reflections on Apple (especially refuting of myths and misunderstandings), user interfaces (and the consistency thereof), software development and emerging Mac applications. Gruber also runs a linklog called The Linked List, posting brief commentary between the longer articles on the front page.
The blog has no option to leave public comments. Instead, Gruber encourages people to send him their comments by e-mail.

“You are not satisfied unless form is so strictly divorced from content that you can comprehend the one without almost without bothering to read the other.”
