RUEN

Fragments of the essay floating at different depths: “How could I have forgotten this?”, “my personal classics”, “Let’s do it.”

What Led Me to Create This Website

Reading books, watching films, and listening to music, I kept coming across interesting thoughts that made a positive difference to my life at the time. Time would pass, and I would return to these familiar works — my personal classics — only to rediscover those same thoughts with surprise: “How could I have forgotten this?”

I wanted a way to keep all this in a convenient, interactive format, rather than as a wall of text somewhere in my notes. After briefly considering the options, I decided that a personal website would be the best fit. I bought a domain. It sat unused for more than five years.

With the arrival of LLMs (Large Language Models) and a renewed desire to revisit familiar books, bringing the idea to life became an order of magnitude easier. Let’s do it.
