Adorely

About

Adorely is made by one person

My name is Pash. I draw the designs, I write the code, I answer the email, and I write every article in the birthday ideas section. There is nobody else here.

A desk in the evening with a laptop, a notebook of layout sketches, a steel tumbler of tea and a stack of printed photographs

How I write the articles

I read every one before it goes up. Three rules keep them honest, and I have not broken them yet.

Somebody has to be asking

An article exists because a real question is being asked, not because the idea sounded good to me. That is why the sections are uneven, and why some obvious topics are simply missing.

Most of the ideas are not mine to sell

Gift lists here name things I have nothing to do with, and where somebody else makes the better thing, the article says so by name. A list that only recommends the thing I make is an advertisement wearing a list as a costume.

I say when I am not sure

Where a tradition changes between families or regions, the article says which one it is describing. Where a date has to be confirmed with a priest or an elder, it says that instead of guessing on your behalf.

If something here is wrong

Write to hello@adorely.app and it reaches me, not a queue. I would much rather hear it than not.
