How this gets made

I'm Matthew. This is my writing archive: twenty years of essays, stories, notes, and poems. Software helps maintain the collection and reveal connections across it. Editorial responsibility stays with me.

Authorship and organization

Writing

  • I author and select the work published here.
  • I decide what gets featured and how the archive is presented.
  • When collaboration forms part of a piece, that piece says so.

Organization

  • Machine-assisted tools identify recurring themes.
  • They draft theme summaries and related-reading paths.
  • I review what appears on the site before publication.

This work happens while the site is built. No chatbot runs behind these pages, and nothing here listens to readers.

    Hand-coded static pages.

    WordPress.

  3. 2025

    The archive moved to Astro.

    Themes and reading paths connected the collection.

for agents

Every page is available as clean Markdown — append ?format=md or send Accept: text/markdown. An index of all posts lives at /agent-index.md. Theme summaries and related-reading notes are machine-assisted and human-reviewed. Published writing remains under Matthew's editorial control.
