23 It began as an effort to organize my bookmarks.
24
25 Well, no. It began as a realization that my note-taking habits are
26 terribly poor. I tend to find something interesting, read it,
27 learn something from it, then forget what I learned. (Not suddenly
28 of course, but what was sharp becomes duller over time.)
29
30 So I started making a conscious effort to take notes after or even
31 during reading things I was reading out of interest.
32
33 I don't remember if that was before or after the point when I learned
34 of the Zettlekasten concept. I tried keeping a Zettlekasten, but
35 for whatever reason, the standard methods didn't work very well for me.
36 (I can certainly theorize about the reasons, but I think that'd
37 probably be out of scope for this announcement.)
38
39 And then came the point where I saw I had all these archived bookmarks
40 with very little rhyme or reason to their organization.
41
42 And those two things came together and acted as a catalyst for something that ended up with the name
43 [The Glosscubator](https://codeberg.org/catseye/The-Glosscubator/#the-glosscubator).
44 (That link goes to its repository on [Codeberg](https://codeberg.org/about), but it is also available
45 [on git.catseye.tc](https://git.catseye.tc/The-Glosscubator/) and
46 [on catseye.tc itself](https://catseye.tc/view/The-Glosscubator/README.md).)
47
48 As of this writing, it consists of **695** web pages, **83** repositories, **174** papers,
49 and **179** books in **102** topics. Of these, **110** have [the highest rating](https://codeberg.org/catseye/The-Glosscubator/src/branch/master/by-rating/Top-rated.md),
50 **33** are [considered classics](https://codeberg.org/catseye/The-Glosscubator/src/branch/master/by-rating/Classic.md),
51 **78** are [considered very interesting](https://codeberg.org/catseye/The-Glosscubator/src/branch/master/by-rating/Very%20Interesting.md),
52 while **70** are [yet to be rated](https://codeberg.org/catseye/The-Glosscubator/src/branch/master/by-rating/Unrated.md).

54 The Glosscubator contains a mix of objective (title, author...)
55 and subjective (rating, commentary...) information. The objective
56 information is distributable under a very permissive license (CC0-1.0).
57 The subjective information is distributed under a less permissive
58 license (CC-BY-ND-4.0). The [REUSE](https://reuse.software/) convention
59 is used to make it easier to tell which files are under which licenses.
