Archiving without regret

How I try to shut down ideas cleanly and keep the parts worth reusing.

Short form, still useful.

Notes stay brief, but they keep enough detail to be worth revisiting.

Archiving a project does not mean it failed. It means the project stopped being the right container for whatever was interesting inside it.

I try to keep three things: a short summary, the reusable parts and one note about why I stopped.

That makes future revisits less sentimental and more practical.
