Welcome

This application is a tool for easy collaborative publishing ; you

can think about it as a kind of public notes-storage platform. We went

for the lowest denominator, e-mails again!

Publish notes by e-mail

So there’s the thing, to publish messages, just send them by email to

any_topic@log.critical-cartography.club. They will end up

published under https://log.critical-cartography.club/any_topic.

And that’s it!

If you want to add a note on an existing subject, the easiest way is

to use the link on the subject page, it will build the right e-mail

address for you and open your mail client automatically.

Images and files

To publish files or images, just send them as attached files. They

will be displayed and/or linked in the the post.

Text style

For now it works better with plain text e-mails. If you want to apply

style to your text, you can use Markdown syntax. Here are some

informations and examples about markdown :

Discreet topics

Topics that start with an underscore are not displayed on the

homepage. They’re not really private, rather discreet.

Annexes and development

Your feedback is very welcome, and we will be happy to discuss in

deeper details the possible evolutions of this tool if you like to.

Do not hesitate to add questions and remarks to this note !

Following & Notifications - RSS

The easiest way to follow a topic and get notifications is to

subscribe to the RSS feed available for each topic.

and efficient. You can find more informations about it here :
