i like having a bookshelf. it's a highly-curated expression of what i like to read, and i want to keep a page like that; if i only have about a minute of your time, this is what i recommend. there's a lot more writing out there though, pieces that wouldn't make my bookshelf but might interest you.

i want to express this long tail of work that makes up so much of my information diet, and i also want a place to hack on the ingestion, analysis, and synthesis of this information. thus, lectara was born.

as of july 2024, it's a super basic service that i run on my homelab, just enough for me to trust it to stay up and log my data. for now, i'm collecting data on unregretted reads. i'm hopeful that lectara will become a foundation for a few things: a frontend playground for frictionless logging, a page on my website linking to things i read (think something like Read Something Wonderful), a personal dataset to play with, and a service that supports all these explorations.
