Breadcrumbs

Traveler, there is no path. The path is made by walking.

Live: crumb.blog

What is this?

Breadcrumbs is a stream-of-consciousness blog where thoughts are organized into themes, and themes contain small thought atoms called breadcrumbs. Unlike traditional blogs with discrete articles, it reads as one continuous flow.

Inspired by a public Google Doc maintained by a Google PM.
