Signal Codes

A site for people who want brevity and precision in how they are heard, and how they hear others.

Help for visitors

Exploring the site

Find a source

Paste in your own copy of a source's text, then drag out a passage you find interesting — that's a quote.

Write your take

File the quote under a code: a short, reusable name for the idea the passage exemplifies. A code you keep coming back to becomes a signal for what you actually think.
