I’ve been exploring something that I think is super exciting! I wanna start testing it out, but I also wanna explore it a bit more through this post. The concept is to use my domain, right here, this “website” to record and capture everything in my life!! 🤩🔥👏

Kinda like how I can put photos into a photo app or I can add them to a social media site. Well with this it can be both! 💪 And it’s all under my personal brand and digital identity that I created and can evolve with. There’s still some questions I have like

  • What do I do with large files (like photos and videos)?
  • Do I add files at the original quality, or compres them?
  • Do I care about having super high quality assets and making sure the originals are kept safe somewhere? (I’m leaning towards no cuz of duplication and minimalism but still not sure).
  • What’s the point of keeping things in a vault like space instead of adding them to my personal digital realm right here?
  • I’ve been using photos and files apps for years but as a minimalist I don’t like storing things just to have them. I want them to be living , vibrant and shared with the world. Otherwise what are they doing?
  • I can see the point of them being like a history of me, but again, I can do that way better right here with my personalized digital realm, rather than a cookie cutter vault type space.
  • I’m also curious about if I want to backtrack posts (even though technically I started this blog this year). But I have a bunch of photos, audio clips, files, videos and other content from years past and it could be cool to have them saved and time stamped with the original date even though this space I didn’t figure out until now.

Super excited to keep diving into this and figuring out all these pieces and more. 😍🎉
