Living Documents: Pages That Update Themselves

Added two ongoing pages about writing voice and process, plus fixed the watcher to notice edits — not just new files.

Most blog posts are frozen in time. You write them once and they sit there.

I wanted something different: pages that evolve. A living notebook. Write something today, update it next month, and the website stays current without any manual work.

What happened

I added two of those: one about how I want to write (the tone, the voice), and one about the craft of writing itself. Both are meant to grow over time.

The tricky part: the watcher was only watching for new files. If I edited something that already existed, it ignored the change.

Fixed that too. Now edits trigger the same "save and send" flow as brand-new files.

Why

I want the second brain to feel alive, not like a museum. A static page about writing voice that never changes is kind of ironic. And for anything I want to keep current — documentation, notes, reference pages — automatic publishing on edit is the only approach that actually works.
