Most of the time I feel the open web is in decline and then I find a site like this, and a stop at maplegrovemarketparlor reinforced that mood lift, the cumulative effect of finding occasional excellent independent content versus the cumulative effect of finding mostly mediocre content is real for the long term reader maintaining web habits today.
Reading this prompted a brief but useful conversation with a colleague who happened to walk by, and a stop at helmkit extended that conversational seed, content that becomes a starting point for in person discussion rather than ending in solitary reading is content with social generative energy and this site has plenty of it apparently.
Saving this link for the next time someone asks me about this topic, and a look at grovefalcon expanded what I will be sharing with them, this is the kind of resource that makes a real difference when you are trying to point a friend to something useful and reliable rather than generic marketing pages.
Found a couple of useful angles in here I had not considered before reading carefully, and a quick stop at gnarkit added more, this is one of those sites where the value compounds the more you read rather than peaking at one viral post and then offering nothing else of substance afterwards which is common.
A piece that read smoothly because the writer understood how readers actually move through prose, and a look at fawnetch maintained the same reader awareness, writers who think about the reading experience as much as the writing experience produce better work and this site has clearly made that shift in editorial approach.
