Back in February I wrote about my idea to publish more "unpolished thoughts."

Published 7 new essays since then. All very polished. 

Still looking for a good low-friction way to publish casual snippets (too long for FC/too short for an essay).

I’ve only just stumbled across your writing and your Paragraph page and am catching up. Did you ever settle on a platform for your unpolished thoughts?

Living a generalist life, one atomic moment at a time…

Hmmm… I see that maybe Paragraph has become that space?

Not quite. I still write on @paragraph happily, but it's a newsletter platform rather than a more general publishing outlet, and that limits its appeal for my use cases.

Casts on FC are ephemeral, so I still don't feel like I have a good space to "metablog" that preserves context over time.

A few months ago I felt I was desperately in need of a lower-friction alternative, so I started a "side project" for my writing -- a journal on Notion.

In this entry I wrote a bit about my reasoning:

Where writers share, grow, and get paid — one post at a time.

I was going to suggest Mirror.xyz as that non-newslettery, blog-but-not-a-blog alternative. But I don’t think that’s it either. Especially since paragraph bought it. Amalgamation may be in its future.

I know you mentioned the cost of publishing in Obsidian - there are no-cost versions also. But I’m glad you found something that works-ish for you for now.

Many moons ago I stumbled across https://nicheless.blog/ …micro-blogging, it calls itself. Low friction to write, I found. Might be worth a look.

Anyway, for now, I look forward to reading back on your paragraph issues 😊
