Projects · things we made together

Projects

Each project is written up the same way: what we tried, what happened, and what we'd tell ourselves at the start. The last part is the one worth reading.

Learnings
The learnings are the part we reread. They live together too, pulled out of every project.

    We abandoned it because neither of us wanted to open it on a Tuesday. That is a real metric.

    People ask better questions on paper than out loud, and much better ones anonymously.

    A box with a slot has no notifications. That was most of why it worked.

    The habit survived the moment it stopped being private.

    I write differently when I know the page will be read back to me.
