Answers to questions met mid-task, each written up once and kept where a search finds it again. Press / or use the search box; every page opens with the short answer.

Every entry is one of five kinds:

Kind	What it is	What the build checks
howto	One question, a three-line answer, then the detail	The answer is one to three lines
snippet	A howto whose code lives in examples/ and is shown verbatim	The example compiles and runs
recipe	Ingredients as data, so portions and units can change on the page	Every volume has a density
reference	Tables, lists and links, under a short answer	The answer is one to three lines
decision	A choice about my own setup: the choice, when, what lost and why, and what replaced it	The answer is short, the date is a day, a replacement is a current decision, and the entry stays private

Every entry is private unless it says public: true: signed in, you see all of them, each private one labelled; without a login the site shows only the public ones, and the rest do not exist to it.

Topics are the folders in the sidebar; a new folder is a new topic. Five views cut across them: the timeline lists entries by the month they were added, the recent changes list every change to an entry, newest first, tags groups them by what they touch, all entries is one list sortable by date, title, kind or topic, and the graph draws every entry and the links between them. Every entry’s page draws its own neighbourhood under Related.
