Notes and projects

1 min read planning, workflow, organization

Notes hold general ideas; projects hold concrete tools that may later point to a website or GitHub repository.

Notes are for general ideas. They capture the loose thinking, the constraints, and the shape of something before it becomes a buildable thing.

Projects are different. They are concrete tools I can actually make, so they need a clearer structure: a high-level concept, detailed steps, and a state tag that shows whether the work is still an idea, in progress, or done.

Once a project moves into active work, it can link to a dedicated page or to a GitHub repository if it is open source. That keeps the idea visible without mixing it into the same layer as the notes. The same split shows up in Open projects and Planning and implementation, where active work stays separate from the backlog.
