I have developed an entirely different approach to these blog/site features - such as sidenotes and TOC - that I refer to as an “Iceberg Article”.
It is explained here:

“An Iceberg Article is a single page of writing which links to a larger collection of supporting documents, resources and services.”
- amadeuspagel 2y agoWhat's a good example of an Iceberg Article?
- rsync 2y agoThat link is, itself, an I iceberg article. Click on the “body” link in the footer to see the full expansion… "Network Slug", which I sometimes discuss on HN, is also an iceberg article: https://www.kozubik.com/pub/NetworkSlug/tip.html https://www.kozubik.com/pub/NetworkSlug/tip.html
- fabianholzer 2y agoIt is an interesting format, but a bit hard to discover. If it would not have been for your comment, it would not have occurred to me, that there is a second level which enriches the overall topic. Is it essential to the format to open all secondary parts at once? Otherwise that would be a great use case for the details/summary tag, which also would come with affordances that indicate that there is more information available.
- rsync 2y agoThanks for that feedback - I will think about how to make the parts beyond the tip of the iceberg more obvious and discoverable. Philosophically, I want the "tip" to be as uncluttered as possible but ... we'll see what I can come up with. Theoretically, if enough people began writing in this form it would then become obvious by virtue of familiarity ...
