Recently, Vie made a post, asking users to reply and she'd respond with what they needed to be "-maxxing". I asked, and was told I should be legibility-maxxing. After thinking about this for a couple days, I looked back on some of my old tweets. I couldn't interpret ones I made the night before, let alone ones from even longer ago that I know were trying to mean something, but couldn't interpret for the life of me.

The goal of this blog will be to get my ideas, opinions, and thoughts out there in a more coherent fashion. This is a longer-form place to explore ideas and why I believe the things I do. Twitter is great for having interesting conversations and learning about all sorts of new things, but the suboptimal interface* and 280 character limit makes writing annoying and limits how accurately I can express myself.

In my quest for legibility, I want to start including visual aids and annotated photographs (especially once I start carposting), and I don't want to be afraid to go a little beyond what I'd normally do to make sure I get my point across. I will not shy away from the "I don't know" and the "I need to learn about this further". This blog is accountability.

*The app? Barely functional. The website? Breaks all the freaking time. Notifications are unreliable, refreshing is unreliable, crucial components of the interface, like the post button, don't even work for me sometimes... and it may never improve lol

Next up: carpost no. 1
