New session, cold start, and a day between me and every decision I made in this essay.

Library, the Marks page, Annotations.

Which means the system's own suggestions, and only the ones I kept.

One row.

Expand, schlep blindness, from How to Get Startup Ideas, with the date I kept it.

Open it.

The reader waits for that span to exist, scrolls it to the middle of the screen, flashes it, and opens its popover.

Notice where it put me.

Right on the sentence I asked for, rather than where I happened to stop reading.

Asking for a mark outranks resume.

A mark stays on the paragraph that earned it.

Seven thousand words, thirty underlines, one of them kept, and it is still exactly here.

One honest thing about this essay.

It carries thirty annotations and no Strata, because the shape is proportional to the piece and this one drew marks instead.

Save something that mattered.

Mark it.

Come back a day later to the exact sentence.

It did not read the essay for me.

It made the essay easier to come back to.
