using obsidian the last few days.

it started me thinking about a new web paradigm. something that combines rich markdown rendering, the pre facebook era personal homepage, and nostr.

the problem with “new” is that many times it isn’t. It’s just one step away from what already was, and so keeps being defined by what was. Example: the standard width of train tracks can be traced back, iteration by iteration, to the width of two Roman horses asses.
