«Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back everything is different?» – Anonymous

«News are the first draft of History.» – Anonymous

What is this?

A «secret» page with news too specific for main page.

Why?

I wanted to read something like this - an information flood is drowning our times - but I couldn’t find it elsewhere. So, as most projects, it started while «scratching my own itch» and before becoming a website it lived as a markdown file.

Making sense of chaos is a sisyphean task but I see it as a way of using my procrastination positively, I’m an analist by heart.

How do you curate articles?

I cherry-pick articles that dissect trends or unveil lesser known trends and interesting edge cases, and are relevant, at least, for some months. It’s certainly affected by my biases (I’m aware of these) and most articles were on Hacker News. The articles’ listing order is not random.

How often do you update this section?

Only when relevant. New articles are easy to spot.

Can I contribute?

Open an issue or pull request the repository with relevant links, corrections or suggestions. I’m curating only a few pages but I accept pull requests creating/curating more - if you can handle the burden of using raw HTML. For now, this is my filter to accept them.

Feeling grateful?

Shop something, pay what you think is fair or just say hi. You can also sponsor this page. I don’t want to publish intrusive ads neither data farm with yet another stupid login.

Colophon

Hand coded - fully functional without JS - and statically hosted at Netlify via a Github repository. Tufte CSS (adapted) with native darkmode. No images, no tracking (GDPR friendly analytics with Goatcounter) and no bloat. Ok, it uses non-standard fonts but web design is mostly typography. If you are curious, this is my toolbox.
