These are not release notes. Each essay captures a problem that kept showing up while building static pages, the approaches that failed, and the workflow that finally stuck. Read in any order; dates mark first publication, not final truth.
Two kinds of writing fight for the same folder: lookup cards and narrative memory. Separate them, wire light cross-links, and your future self stops drowning in tabs.
Replace tutorial marathons with one documentation tab, pages you can finish tonight, and a public link list that forces you to explain why a URL matters.
When the whole layout “looks cursed”, stop tweaking colors. Map elements to markup, change one variable, bisect the DOM, and shrink the viewport early.
Add a new essay: duplicate any post-*.html, rewrite the body, then add a card here and on the home page
under “Latest from the journal”.
