Shaping

Hypothesis

Technical side

• Combine simple tools to get website with best of both worlds: substack for lots of content
  • Accept some disjunction in look and feel across segments
• ...

Principles

• Use subdomain more for specific subprojects rather than have everything in one site ...
  • little benefits of synergies e.g. no real benefit of tao and rest of site being in one
  • ?? can achieve SEO by cloudflare proxy approach (hard with _next subfolder stuff but not impossible)
  • cost of complexity and slow builds etc
