When working on any long-running software project, I like to maintain one large note tracking my goals, design ideas, influences and references, dead ends, etc. I used to write these notes in Craft, because it gave me a really nice editor, alongside the ability to send it to other people at a shareable URL.
But I was using too many notes apps, one of which I’d built myself (tldraft.app), and wanted to consolidate and clean up my scattered words. I considered building a microsite of some kind for these work notes, or adding read-only sharing to tldraft itself so I could move them there.
Instead, I realised there was no reason to not add them to this site. The Workbench made for a suitable container, given that it already tracked the history of my focuses. It was time for it to also track their live notes.
So, worknotes are now a new content format, and two of them have been added to site already. Find them on the Workbench page, under the Display of Qualitative Information section.
