Playing With Quotebacks

Date: 9/26/2023

I’ve been reading about digital gardens and different ways of writing, reading, navigating, and thinking about the internet knowledge experience.

In this post, I’m doing a quick experiment with https://quotebacks.net/, a tool by Tom Critchlow and Toby Shorin.

Here’s a quote from a piece by Sam Peurifoy on NFT game economics. To make this, I used the form at https://quotebacks.net/ and pasted the generated html into a markdown file.

Gladiators are players that are willing to risk assets in return for some potential greater reward. These are people that step into the arena, enjoy the grit of the sand between their teeth when they get stomped into the ground, and get back up the next day to rise stronger and dominate the competition, taking home all the beans.

Toby Shorin on his blog has a more context-oriented version of this for quoting yourself: https://subpixel.space/entries/open-transclude/. 1

Footnotes

  1. As far as I can tell, one can only quote their own material with this tool because it relies on using id in the html of the quoted page.
