It’s strange how liberating and overwhelming it is to be able to build almost any software idea that pops into my head.

So I build. Constantly.

Sometimes it’s useful. Sometimes it isn’t.

Sometimes I finish. Sometimes I walk away.

The goal isn’t perfection or even completion. It’s momentum. Learning. Staying in motion. Even if most of what I build feels small, scattered, or unimportant on its own, I know that it compound into something meaningful over time.

It’s cliché, but I’m convinced the value lives in the journey.

One to Better is part of that process.

It’s an Astro blog I built with Replit. I chose Astro for its great loading speed. I add markdown files for new posts, republish, and I’m done. I’m managing my posts in Notion for now but plan to switch to Obsidian, which, in my opinion, handles markdown files better. I originally built the site to pull content from Notion using their API but found the loading times way too slow, so I switched it back to static pages. I wanted to be able to post and update from anywhere, including my phone, using Notion, but I can do the same thing using Obsidian.

Less friction. More movement.

For now, that’s enough.
