Bricolage Grotesque - "A free and open source variable font with French attitude and British mannerisms across 3 axis: weight, width & optical size" - I love how this font somehow embodies a french ambience.

I'm thinking that I need a way to turn a note into a blog post. Reason being that short notes should definitely just be notes, but often the note gets long and is effectively at that point a blog post. Once it has a title it's definitely a blog post at that point.

I should be able to create a special component that inserts a blog post into a note. That way I can move a long note over to the blog, so it's a proper blog post, but still have it appear within the notes. I'll have to think about this a bit.

I'm really liking the fact that the notes feature is enabling me to write more freely but I need to figute out the note to blog post transition. Blog posts are less ephimeral than notes and have additional meta data. Hopefully I'll figure this out. Still feels a bit awkward at the minute. #
