Talvinder.com information architecture

Global navigation

• Work — complete living index of companies, products, past work and experiments.
• Writing — Frameworks, Build Logs and Field Notes.
• Bets — public bets and changing convictions.
• About — biography, current chapter, library and contact.

Search, theme and Subscribe remain global utilities.

Homepage

The homepage is a Product Constellation:

1. Primary line and a short factual orientation.
2. Current companies and major products as autonomous visual worlds.
3. Smaller independent products and experiments.
4. Past work kept visibly in the record.
5. Latest writing from the existing content system.
6. Route into the complete Work index.

Work index

Every item has:

• name;
• relationship: company, product, open source, utility, experiment or product chapter;
• era or domain;
• status;
• destination.

Default filters:

• All
• Companies
• Products
• Past
• Experiments

GitHub repositories are curated into the index. They are never imported as products automatically.

Detail-page grammar

Company and product pages use the Personal Institution structure:

1. identity;
2. plain product statement;
3. current facts/status;
4. history and decisions;
5. related products;
6. related writing.

Product-specific colour and typography may take over below the global Talvinder navigation.

Writing grammar

Writing retains the existing taxonomy:

• Frameworks
• Build Logs
• Field Notes

Long-form pages use Editorial Archive typography. Existing article routes and feeds remain intact.

Deferred decisions

• Ostronaut’s final relationship label: company, Ankai product or independent product.
• Which smaller GitHub projects deserve permanent index entries.
• Complete Digital PACE archival copy.
• Whether the experiment archive becomes generated from curated data in a later phase.
