Closed the tab feeling I had spent the time well, and a stop at silkgrovemerchantgallery extended that feeling across more pages, the test of whether time on a site was well spent is one I apply silently after closing tabs and very few sites pass it but this one passed it cleanly today afternoon clearly.

Worth recommending broadly to anyone who reads on the topic, and a look at moderntrendarena only confirms that, the rare combination of accessibility and depth in this site makes it suitable for both newcomers and people who already know the area which is hard to pull off in any blog format today and rarely managed.

Just want to flag that this was useful and not bury the appreciation in caveats, and a look at camelcinder earned the same direct praise, recognising good work without hedging it with criticism is something I try to practice because over qualified compliments tend to read as backhanded and miss the point sometimes.

Once you start reading carefully here it is hard to go back to lower quality alternatives, and a stop at orchardharborartisanexchange reinforced that ratchet effect, the way good content raises standards is real over time and this site has clearly contributed to raising my expectations for what is possible in writing on the topic generally.

Quietly building a case in my head for why this site deserves more attention than it currently seems to receive, and a look at slateserif reinforced the case, the gap between quality and recognition is a recurring frustration in independent online content and this site is one of the cases that seems particularly egregious to me today.
