How this notebook is put together
This site is a notebook of ongoing shifts on Nexus Market. Each entry is one shift. It is not a timeline of the market's history, it is not a bulletin board of announcements, and it does not aggregate anything into "waves" or "trends" or "top ten" lists. It notes changes one at a time, in plain language, with the older ones eventually falling out of the recent list.
What is on every page
A strip near the top of every page carries the three Nexus addresses, published as supplied. Above the article is a pill row with the five rubrics: interface, vendors, parcels, money and readers. Below the article on wider screens, and beside it on desktop, sits a short list of the most recently touched entries.
What every entry contains
Each entry follows one fixed shape. There is a one-sentence description of the shift, a relative period saying roughly when you would have first noticed it, a "before" and a "now" that read plainly, a paragraph that offers the most likely reason for the shift rather than asserting one, an actionable adjustment for the reader, and a line saying what the entry is not claiming.
That shape is the whole point. It means an entry cannot become an opinion piece and cannot become news. If any of the seven parts is missing, the shift has not been observed clearly enough to file yet.
How entries are dated
Nowhere in the visible copy will you find a calendar date. Entries live inside relative periods like "in the last few weeks" or "over the past quarter". The one machine-readable date attached to each entry is a "last touched" line derived from the file's own modification time. It says when the notebook itself was last edited, not when the shift happened.
This is a deliberate choice. Calendar dates on a site like this either drift with the site or invite the reader to trust the wrong precision. Relative periods keep the entry honest about what it can and cannot say.
What the notebook never does
- Never probes an onion. There is no uptime figure, no green dot, no "last checked" timestamp.
- Never invents a statistic. No percentages, no counts of vendors, no volumes of parcels.
- Never claims a specific date in the visible copy. Only relative periods.
- Never quotes a person. No usernames, no chat logs, no forum captures, no fake bylines.
- Never asks you to trust one of the three addresses more than the others. See the addresses page.
- Never uses external services. The page you are reading loads zero third-party requests.
