About Shaine Hatch and his Squidtree.

Squidtree is a place for Shaine Hatch to keep his words, in the form of Zettelkasten notes and his blog. Many of the ideas here come from other people’s words as is captured in the references.

Shifting color scheme.

Squidtree uses the dates its content was posted on to determine its color scheme. The colors flow with the changing of the seasons, so winter dates are blue, summers are red, and the transitional seasons ride the rest of the color palette. Where content doesn’t belong to a specific date, today’s color scheme is used.

Technology.

Squidtree is built atop an Elixir and Phoenix foundation, pulling in its content from markdown files scattered across a living network of knowledge accumulation.
