A short note on why this exists and what to expect.

<p>This is the first post. There will be more soon.</p> <h2>What this is</h2> <p>Clay Garden Press is a small independent publication for field notes and deep dives. We pick narrow topics and cover them more carefully than they tend to get covered elsewhere — not for SEO, not for thought leadership, just because the topics deserve it.</p> <h2>What to expect</h2> <p>A new post every few days, on subjects that range across software, money, work, and the occasional digression into something we couldn't help ourselves about. Most posts are 1,500 to 2,500 words. None are listicles. None are roundups. All are signed.</p> <h2>Why</h2> <p>The open web should have more places that are interesting because someone cared, and fewer that are interesting because someone optimized. We're trying to be one of the former. If you have suggestions for things we should look into, email us: hello@claygardenpress.com.</p> <p>— The editors</p>
