Blogs carry an expectation of creating something polished for others to read. A blog is a product.

Wikis can be a collection of notes and partially formed ideas for you to use. A wiki is a tool.

@jameschip i have been enjoying exploring the third space, which is a 'journal' or a microblog (in the sense of an actual smol blog, not like, twitter or mastodon.)

@dozens ooh, yes, these are also good options, although often more personal.
