An archive is a promise: what matters here should still matter later.

Principles

  1. Permanence over velocity.
  2. Rereadability over novelty.
  3. Clarity over charisma.
  4. Fewer words, better words.
  5. One strong image, or none.
  6. Small ships. Long refinements.
  7. Silence is a feature.

If a note can’t survive the loss of recency, it doesn’t belong here.
