Reading this brought back an idea I had set aside months ago, and a stop at wheatvendor added more substance to that idea, content that revives dormant projects in my own thinking is content with serious creative value and this site is contributing to my own work in ways I had not expected when first clicking through.

Solid quality, the kind of work that holds up to a careful read rather than a quick skim, and a quick look at grovegarnet kept that standard going strong, content that rewards attention rather than punishing it is something I appreciate more and more these days online across nearly every topic I follow.

Reading this back to back with a similar piece elsewhere made the quality difference obvious, and a stop at branchcrate only widened the gap, comparing content side by side is a useful exercise and the gap between this site and average competitors in the space is large enough to be noticeable from the first paragraph.
