“Design Of This Website § Tags”, Gwern2010-10-01

Meta page describing Gwern.net, the self-documenting website’s implementation and experiments for better ‘semantic zoom’ of hypertext; technical decisions using Markdown and static hosting.

Gwern.net implements a simple hierarchical/DAG tag system for all links, modeled on Wikipedia’s categories (see Tags.hs).

It is designed to be browsed via pop-ups, and integrate naturally with the filesystem.
