Behind the site
Roadmap
AI score 3/4 me. Idea 2/2 · Words 1/2. The ideas are mine; AI helped word the notes
Everything I'm thinking about writing or building, out in the open. Nothing here is a promise or a date. Ideas move right as they get real, and some will never leave the first column, which is fine.
Writing The site itself Updated October 13, 2026. Kept in source control, like the changelog.
