Guide
Titles, tags and addresses
What makes a drop an article, how tags behave, and the addresses a piece of writing can be reached at.
Articles and notes
sizuq sorts your writing into two shapes without asking you to choose one. A drop with a title is an article. A drop without one is a note.
| Article | Note | |
|---|---|---|
| What makes it one | It has a title, or the tag article | Neither |
| Where it appears in your garden | The article grid on the front page | The /drops feed |
| How it is laid out | Magazine-style, full width | As a card |
| Reading time | Shown, if your garden is set to show it | Not shown |
The addresses a drop has
Every drop gets a short address automatically. You can add a readable one, and both keep working.
| Address | Where it works | Set by |
|---|---|---|
| /drop/ plus a short id | Everywhere | sizuq, automatically |
| /your-slug | Your garden only | You, in the Details card |
A readable address is 2 to 60 characters, lowercase letters, digits and hyphens. Words sizuq needs for its own routes are not available. Once you set one, your garden links to the drop by that address instead of the short one.
Linking one drop to another
Type two square brackets in the editor and a list of your own drops appears. Choosing one inserts a link to it by title.
These links are drawn differently from ordinary ones, so a reader can see at a glance which of them stay inside your writing and which lead away from it. They also work in reverse: a drop can show what else of yours points at it.
