Field notes.
Essays and small observations from building Contexted — what we've found out about matching people on context instead of appearance, what AI memory is actually useful for, and why we keep choosing the slower thing.
The blog is intentionally unhurried. We publish when we have something we believe, not when a calendar says it's time. Expect short pieces about design choices, longer ones about why the conventional wisdom around online connection looks brittle to us, and the occasional dispatch from a drop that surprised us.
If you want a sense of where we're starting, the first piece below is the closest thing we have to a thesis.
