Awesome photo essay/essays in this site: <http://www.tylerfinck.com/2014/01/mount-monadnock/>

Like the long thin images on the homepage:
<http://www.kennethreitz.org/>
![](file:///Users/sng/Notes/img/Screen%20Shot%202014-06-18%20at%2010.23.59%20AM.png)

like the text/images used on notes from the road about page: <http://www.notesfromtheroad.com/about/>

really like the blockquotes on: <http://aworkinglibrary.com/writing/overkill/>
![](file:///Users/sng/Notes/img/Screen%20Shot%202014-04-14%20at%209.08.08%20PM.png)

really like the little expanding map bubble on these permalinks:
<https://hi.co/moments/qdvswsvq> Also the textured bottom instead of hard edge, though maybe that's a little to cutesy

Adelle and open sans are both nice: <http://www.typewolf.com/site-of-the-day/fonts/adelle>

Some nice typography examples here <http://3.7designs.co/blog/2008/06/10-examples-of-beautiful-css-typography-and-how-they-did-it/>

Want to implement fragmentions:
<http://www.kevinmarks.com/fragmentions.html>

Add Permashort links to notes when longer than what's pushed to twitter:
http://indiewebcamp.com/Twitter#Why_permashortcitation_instead_of_a_link

Like this idea of acknowledgments instead of colophon: http://www.macstories.net/acknowledgements/

stop using title tags maybe?
<http://blog.paciellogroup.com/2013/01/using-the-html-title-attribute-updated/>

Move away from storing everything in DB maybe? Python lib to interact with git repo: <http://www.samba.org/~jelmer/dulwich/docs/tutorial/repo.html#creating-new-commits>
