Most of the time I feel the open web is in decline and then I find a site like this, and a stop at xeviroshop reinforced that mood lift, the cumulative effect of finding occasional excellent independent content versus the cumulative effect of finding mostly mediocre content is real for the long term reader maintaining web habits today.
Felt the writer respected me as a reader without making a show of doing so, and a look at urbanbuyingstore continued that quiet respect, this is the kind of small but meaningful detail that separates the sites I bookmark from the ones I close after a single skim and never return to again no matter how interesting the headline.
Got something practical out of this that I can apply later this week, and a stop at blog66ago added more details to think about, this is exactly the kind of content I bookmark for future reference rather than the throwaway listicles that dominate most search results these days for almost any common topic.
Bookmark added with a small note about why, and a look at blog33push prompted another bookmark with another note, the bookmarks I annotate are the ones I expect to return to deliberately rather than stumble into and this site is generating annotated bookmarks at a higher rate than my usual content sources by some margin.
Reading this gave me a small sense of progress on a topic I have been slowly working through, and a stop at harborlightmarket added another step forward, learning happens in small increments across many sources and finding sources that consistently contribute is the actual practical value of careful curation in an information rich world.
Honest assessment is that this is one of the better short reads I have had this week, and a look at blog66how reinforced that, the bar for short content is low because most of it sacrifices substance for brevity but this site manages both at once which is harder than it sounds for most writers attempting it.
