A place to make progress visible.

Why I am starting this collection of projects and notes.

I want this site to give my work somewhere to accumulate.

A project can involve weeks of decisions, false starts, and small improvements. Once it is finished, much of that thinking is easy to lose. Writing about it gives me a reason to pause and work out what actually changed.

A useful standard for an update

For a project, I want to be able to explain:

  • What problem was I trying to solve?
  • What did I contribute?
  • Which decision mattered, and why?
  • What result can I show?
  • What would I improve next?

A note can be smaller: a lesson from an experiment, a question I am still working through, or a decision I would now make differently.

Some accountability

Making the work visible gives me a reason to keep building and reflecting. My aim is to leave a record of progress that is useful to someone else and honest enough to be useful to me.

This first version is a starting point. The next step is to add evidence from the work as it develops.

Have a different perspective?
