THE NOTEBOOKIDEAS, OBSERVATIONS & THINGS WORTH KEEPING
START HEREOCTOBER 1, 2026

A home for the things I build, the questions I follow, and the lessons worth keeping.

By BAKTASH

There’s something satisfying about having a small space on the internet that feels like yours. No feed to keep up with. No perfect format to fit into. Just a place to pay attention, make things, and think out loud.

That’s what I want this journal to be: an open notebook for my work and the things I’m curious about. Some entries will be small observations. Others will be longer explorations.

FROM THE EDITOR

A place to think.
And to think again.

I’m Baktash. I write about web design, bug bounty, and technology—the things I build, the questions I ask, and what I learn along the way.

“A notebook doesn’t need to have all the answers. It needs room for better questions.”

Inside the journal

THREE SUBJECTS. AN OPEN MIND.
WEB DESIGNOCTOBER 1, 2026

On spacing, typography, and making the web feel a little more human.

A page can contain everything it needs and still feel difficult to use. The words are there. The buttons work. Yet the small decisions make all the difference.

BUG BOUNTYOCTOBER 1, 2026

Looking at security through permissions, assumptions, and curiosity.

Before thinking about a particular tool, I want to understand what a system is supposed to do—and where its boundaries are. Careful questions come first.

TECHNOLOGYOCTOBER 1, 2026

A simple question for any new technology: what does it make easier?

New tools are easy to get excited about. Understanding whether a tool belongs in everyday work takes longer. A small, ordinary task is a good place to start.
