I needed somewhere to put shorter ideas.
My day job was busy. It was coldest (very cold indeed), darkest chunk of the year. Client work picked up. I have other interests. Time and energy are finite. I stalled out on my Grav plugin series.
I didn’t stop thinking, but “essays” was not the right place to continue writing publicly.
“Essays” will continue to have a more substantive form; it was trivial to put together another template and folder structure for shorter content. So here we are.
