A quiet place to write, and to be read.
Live at waldi.blog. Reading is open to everyone. Writing requires an invitation for now. because I can curate a minimum quality of wildcard posts.
Waldi is a blogging platform, but not another minimalistic blogging engine. every post delivers to at least 100 readers before any black-box algorithm judges it, and every registered reader will get a random stranger post each morning in their inbox. I use a concept called Serendipity.
