Writing helps me clarify my thoughts.
Writing in public is generally a good thing. It increases your surface area for serendipity, routes not only interesting people but also interesting things to your inbox (Henrik Karlsson post), and provides a snapshot of your mind to which you can return later.
But some notes stay private to give me more freedom to think, to capture feelings, half-formed intuitions, and experiences I’m not ready to share but still want to examine, and to incubate early ideas, which can be fragile.
tl;dr what you see here on notebook.heidihuang.com is a subset of all the notes I have.
