I wanted a public place that does not run on someone else’s feed. Not a newsletter platform, not a docs portal that slowly becomes the whole company — just a site: something to read when I have a thought, something to point to when I ship.
The other requirement was harder to name but more important to me: the reading experience has to stay tight. On point. No carnival of widgets, no sidebar that screams, no typography that wears you out by the third paragraph. I want to be able to open this site in the morning, follow a link from a friend, read three posts, skim a project, check one reference page, and still feel calm at the end of the day. Fatigue is a design failure. I treat it that way.
That is why the layout stays narrow, the chrome stays quiet, and the defaults bias toward text you can actually finish. Flashy sites get one visit. A site you do not mind living in gets the return traffic — including from future-you, when you are trying to remember what you wrote six months ago.
This is the first post on that site. More will follow here. The point is not volume. The point is that publishing stays as small as saving a file, and reading stays as easy as opening a good book.
