Not every note needs to be on the homepage.
That sounds obvious, but it matters.
A public notebook can be deep without making the first screen feel crowded.
Some notes are entry points.
Some notes are supporting context.
Some notes are source trails.
Some notes are useful mostly for agents.
Some notes are there for the person who wants to keep clicking.
Those are all valid jobs.
The homepage should help someone understand the shape of the person and the work.
The archive can hold the deeper graph.
The site gets better when those jobs are separated.
