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).

Reflecting on this a bit more: it's quite curious that even in a space I originally set up for "incubation" and "unpolished thoughts," I *still* ended up with nothing but polished essays, at a cadence of about one per month. 

Perhaps "publishing casual snippets" isn't the right approach for me at all.

Update: after further thought I think I'm going to try Obsidian for this purpose, since I'm already familiar with the basics and it's free for personal use.

If that doesn't suit me, I'll consider other ways to use Paragraph.

Still interested in hearing what others use for this though, so feel free to chime in.

Thanks for the ideas! Deleted my LinkedIn long ago, and don't miss it. Would like to delete my Twitter too. 

Social media threads have a very short half-life. I'd like to group my snippets all together in one spot for future reference/search.

Best option may be a separate blog, but I hesitate to start another one.

LinkedIn posts? May work in length.

Longish tweets may work  or

FC/Tweets could be threads

I’ve been trying to train myself to use my microblog (powered by Micro.blog any time I feel the urge to share something. Before I would post on social, now I generally publish first on my own domain and then syndicate or copy/paste elsewhere. They are generally pretty short

Yours is cool! And thanks for the suggestion. But if I'm honest with myself, signing up for a new paid subscription service would be too much friction for me. (I did this on Ghost for awhile; ended up deleting everything).

Ideally I'd like to figure out a way to collect all my writings under one digital "roof."

TBH I'd like to reduce the number of platforms in my life rather than add new ones. But thanks for the questions.

"Good low-friction" includes
- easily searchable/taggable posts
- no new subscription/platform

I may end up starting a separate "community" on Paragraph, since it's by far my favorite publishing option.

Would you be interested on going into a platform on which the only thing you will read are streams of consciousness of people?

What you are referring to fits perfectly in there.

What does good low-friction mean to you?

It's not ideal or low-friction/good distribution for me at all. Would love to delete my Twitter as soon as it's feasible. But to each their own.

Twitter long tweets are ideal. Low friction compose input + good distribution for pure text
