Timlig is just a stray keyboard mash that happened to be available. No naming workshop, no brand deck. It is the digital equivalent of grabbing whatever sticky note is on the desk and scribbling a thought before the train door closes.
The point is to keep reminding myself how much of our work is temporary anyway:
- We spin up feature branches, throw them away, and only merge the bits that survive daylight.
- We build prototypes that exist just long enough to prove a point, then delete the repo without ceremony.
- We rename services every quarter because the domain shifted and nobody wants to maintain the old story.
If you have ever dumped a log with mktemp or copy-pasted a hacky script into /tmp, you already get the vibe. Timlig is that: a placeholder handle for shipping thoughts before they evaporate.
So yeah, the name is random on purpose. The site might move, the CSS might change, and half these ideas might get rewritten. That is fine. The goal is to keep publishing while the water is still warm instead of waiting for a forever home.
