Related and Stroll give serendipity without a feed

Every note carries a few links in the prose. Each link explains itself. “See See what I’m working on for why motion beats ranking.” “See The Commune box for the privacy piece.” The right rail can show a Related list, but the real work happens inside sentences.

Click Stroll when you want a quiet wander. Shows one related note at a time with a “why” chip. Left. Right. No infinite scroll. Across-notebook discovery is off by default. When you turn it on, it still respects Three panes deep, then you pay.

Library energy. You walk the stacks with a thread in hand. Pairs well with Follow and Collect keep signal, not hype. When someone you follow Collects two notes together, that co-collection becomes a strong “why” for Related. The system stays legible. You always know why you’re seeing a link.

Discovery runs on time, follows, and why provides serendipity without algorithmic manipulation. Associative linking over hierarchies lets conceptual relationships emerge naturally through use patterns.

Discovery feels intentional, not compulsive. The browsing experience creates natural pathways through someone’s thinking process, which makes I hope people will pay for a working mind more likely.
