Why plain text
Notes outlive the tools that made them. A folder of .txt files opens on any machine you will ever own, needs no account, and survives every migration you cannot be bothered to do.
What lives here
- Reading notes, mostly on distributed systems and typography.
- Bookmarks with a sentence explaining why they were kept.
- Drafts that will never be finished, kept anyway.
