    I always think about starting a webpage for explaining interesting topics, but every time I write something, I’m just thinking, damn, there is no way in hell that I would read that.

    I’ve been considering publishing it anyways, but it makes it hard to judge whether it’s actually good. In particular, because I myself would have to read it. 🫠

    Maybe a more interactive format would be good, like an overview graphic where you can click on whatever interests you. But yeah, that idea is still cooking…

      I say do it! Even if its not polished, I find just getting thoughts on paper can slow down my brain and help me flesh out my own ideas. Might speed up your cooking to first draft a meta post (i.e. what your page is about, who it is for, etc.).

      Then you can practice being clear and concise; whittle down your ‘ramblings’ into more clearly defined chunks.

      Maybe then it could be easier see how your ideas are connected, helping you find a good interactive format.
