Field notes
A place to start
Every project needs somewhere to live. This is the beginning of that somewhere.
There is something satisfying about an empty folder. No old decisions to work around, no complicated structure to explain. Just a place to begin.
Reptile Group starts here: a small website for projects, experiments, and notes from the process of making things.
Keep it simple
The idea is to make publishing feel like writing a note. A Markdown file, a little metadata, and a build command:
swift run SiteGenerator build
Swift turns those files into ordinary HTML. The result is a website that can live on static hosting, with no application server to keep running.
Leave room to grow
There does not need to be a grand plan for every corner of the site. Some projects will become useful. Others will stay experiments. Both deserve a little space.
For now, there is Slow Poke, and an open notebook.
