It had been a long time since I had made any changes to my website at all, so I thought an entire reboot of the website would be an interesting experiment to try. I would be very happy if y'all could have a look and suggest improvements etc.

Thanks in advance :)

My ‘pitching’ was entirely unplanned, and really, I have no experience in audience targeting or anything like that. Well, guess I will just have to try again. Maybe I can get some time for better planning and execution after a few months. Thanks again.

Something huge looms behind.

“Tiny seed”, what have you done?

I thought that almost everyone would be willing to contribute 3 lines or so, which is sadly not the case. Can you think of any other site where this might gain better reception?

Another factor might be that I posted this one in the morning (IST), when HN is not really at its peak, and the post quickly got lost in the ‘new posts’ list. Do you think it would be OK to repost this link after a month or so?

Often thought forgotten,

Tend to leave a mark.

In the dark corners of the mind,

A tiny seed lies, dormant

Awaiting the light of memory.

This is an HN experiment: to build a poem with a tree-like structure. Starting from the above few lines as seed/parent-node, comments from the HN community (you, dear reader) can transform this into a diverse, branching piece of work.

Comments directly to this post should continue the poem from the above lines, while sub-comments should continue from their parent comments.

I have never really tried any social experiment like this one before, but I think that the result (a living, branching poem) might be an interesting one.

Ready?
