This post is a bit of a meta post about arjunsriva.com
A lot of my thinking on personal websites has been influenced by other great websites like Gwern’s, please read this if you’re interested in it.
My goals for this websites are:
- To share things I learned that I personally found useful
- To provide a playground for me to flesh out rough ideas and speculate.
- To help me increase the clarity of my thinking by the act of writing something out.
on the implementation side my goals are
- Make it easy for me to never lose data
- most writing is stored as simple text files, version controlled by git
- Make it easy to mix code and prose to explain certain concepts
Some things that I plan on implementing later as I write more are:
- Automatic link archiving to prevent link rot
- Confidence tags to show how certain I am of different things
- Better sections / tagging to differentiate different kinds of posts, eg. reading list and notes
