~things I did not build

Ideas that got as far as being thought about properly, each with the reason it stopped — which is usually that I could already see how it would end.

The interesting part of a side project almost always happens before the last ten percent, and the last ten percent is where they die. That is not a complaint. It is just where the line is.

the drawer

Empty, for now — which is not the same as there being nothing in it. Writing down the reason a thing stopped is harder than writing down that it shipped, and I have not done it yet.

The ones that made it out of the drawer are at /things. The ones that made it out and then went wrong anyway are at /failures.
