Now: Designing for signal-to-noise

This site is not a feed.

It’s an index of decisions:

  • what looked important
  • what I did about it
  • what happened after

That means the UX should bias toward retrieval:

  • strong, stable slugs
  • tags that are actually useful
  • search that finds things fast
  • obvious recency ordering

The rule I’m using: if it can’t be found later, it didn’t ship.
