Welcome to the studio notes

This is where Mango Core keeps its plain-text thinking — the kind of thing that usually lives in a private Notion or a slack scrollback that nobody reads twice. We keep ours in markdown, dated, in the open.

What goes here

• Operating notes. How we make decisions, what we say no to, and why.
• Post-mortems. When something breaks, the write-up lives here.
• Half-formed ideas. Things we're chewing on but haven't built yet.
• Reading notes. Books and essays we want to remember.

What does not go here

Anything that requires a polished launch. Anything that names a customer without permission. Anything that's just a tweet wearing a longer outfit.

How to add one

Drop a markdown file into content/notes/. The frontmatter understands:

---
title: Your title
description: A one-line hook
date: 2026-05-10
tag: Operating
---

That's the whole thing. The site picks it up on the next build.
