Closed several other tabs to focus on this one as I read, and a stop at flickaltar held my undivided attention the same way, content that earns full focus in an attention environment full of competing pulls is content doing something genuinely well and the team behind it deserves recognition for that achievement consistently.
Adding to the bookmarks now before I forget, that is how good this is, and a look at clippoise confirmed the rest of the site is worth saving too, this is one of those rare finds that justifies the time spent searching the web for once which is a relief in the current environment.
Loved the writing voice here, friendly without being fake and confident without being arrogant, and a stop at freshwindemporium carried the same tone forward, the kind of personality that makes a reader feel welcome rather than lectured at which is a balance plenty of writers struggle to find no matter how long they have been at it.
Just want to flag that this was useful and not bury the appreciation in caveats, and a look at portpoise earned the same direct praise, recognising good work without hedging it with criticism is something I try to practice because over qualified compliments tend to read as backhanded and miss the point sometimes.
Honest assessment is that this is one of the better short reads I have had this week, and a look at graingrove reinforced that, the bar for short content is low because most of it sacrifices substance for brevity but this site manages both at once which is harder than it sounds for most writers attempting it.
