This isn’t the first blog in the world, and it’s not trying to be.
Sailing Notes is simply my corner of the internet — in the spirit of the early 2000s: personal, raw, and free of clutter.

It starts empty, but the goal is to let it fill over time with projects, thoughts, wins, and failures.

Why Sailing Notes Exists

I’m not here to be a guru or an authority.
This blog exists because I wanted a space of my own — a side project where I can build, experiment, and think out loud.

I’m a mathematician and a computer scientist. For me, freedom looks like tinkering with small prototypes: quick ideas, experiments, things you can dig into until you either drop them or they click. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t — either way, I enjoy the process.

If something feels right, I keep going. If not, I stop and move on. No guilt, no drama, no regret. Just the next step. The journey.

Philosophy

I still believe there’s value in something human: an authentic voice, imperfection included.
That’s what I want Sailing Notes to stand for — a small refuge for the genuine.

A few commitments up front:

• No ads, ever.
• No banners, pop-ups, or dark patterns.
• Just clean, direct, personal writing.

The design may change over time, but the focus will stay the same: content first, never monetization.

What You’ll Find Here

There’s no fixed roadmap or publishing schedule.
I’ll write about whatever feels worth putting down:

• Programming and building micro-SaaS projects.
• Experiments and reflections on quantitative trading.
• Random notes: from a math theorem I find beautiful to how I organize my socks.

Think of it as a buffet: not everything will be for everyone. Take what resonates, skip what doesn’t.
No pressure to keep up, no FOMO, no obsession with being “super productive.”

My Non-Negotiables

It could be 10, or 7, or 20… but here it’s 6.
Life isn’t perfect — embrace it.

1. No ads: never banners, affiliates, or sneaky sponsorships.
2. Original writing: always in my own voice.
3. Minimalism: clean design, no clutter.
4. Consistency over perfection: better to publish than to hoard drafts.
5. Document everything: the wins and the failures alike.
6. Independence: this blog is mine, not Medium’s, not Substack’s.

Beyond the Blog

Sailing Notes also reflects the pillars I live by.
Without them, nothing else would make sense:

• Maximize days of joy, minimize the ones of pure obligation.
• Keep evolving, keep doing.
• Care for the basics: sleep, nutrition, exercise, and mind.
• Loyalty and respect as the foundation of any relationship.
• Gratitude and integrity as daily practices.
• Stay analytical: objective, critical, and curious.

Welcome Aboard

I don’t know how long this journey will last — a week, a year, or a lifetime.
What I do know is that I want to enjoy it while I build, write, and share.

If you’d like to come along, welcome aboard.
I hope the deck stays open and the wind fair enough that you’ll want to return.
