In September, this blog published some sixty articles: one per feature, often two a day. Each one says what changes, what it does not do, and why. But at that pace, you can no longer see the forest for the trees.
This page is the whole month, one line per article, sorted by theme. Each line leads to the full article.
What changes in how you read this blog
Five featured articles. At the top of the blog, the articles that explain the fundamentals: how the plan is calculated, how it adapts when you fall behind, how the ration is calculated, the gesture at the start line, and what a club shares. If you read only five, read those.
A theme filter. Below the featured articles, the others can be filtered by theme — the same themes as on this page — and are grouped by month.
One recap per month. Small touch-ups (a button, a label, a setting that moved) will no longer each get an article: they become a line in the month's recap, like this one. Features that change the way you work keep their own article.
What it does not do. The filter does not change the page address: you cannot send a "blog, Breeding theme" link. That is deliberate: the filter sorts in place the articles the page has already loaded, without reloading anything on each click. And there is no per-theme subscription: the RSS feed stays single.
