I still wish I had a simple way of creating and sharing small (smaller than a web page, but could be bigger) pieces of knowledge online
That didn't *force* me to do it online
Where 'knowledge' could include all of
* Unicode text
* numbers
* list or array structures
* data tables
* rules
* functions
* namespaces
* unnamed but distinguishable objects/structures with identical contents
* unambiguous portable references to objects/structures/names in other systems/networks/databases
all I’m really trying to say with this is that Spotify has never been a place to discover music. it’s just an echo chamber.
