Hi there 👋! I am Xavier Roy and welcome to Paper Arrow, my knowledge garden.

This site ¹ is a collection of thoughts, reflections, and links to things that have piqued my interest. The audience for this garden is me and I’m writing these notes for my future self.

Feel free to wander through the garden, to explore the meandering paths, and to stumble upon hidden treasures. You may find something that resonates with you (Use ⌘/Ctrl+k to search), something that sparks your own curiosity, or something that simply elicits a moment of joy.

This garden is a work in progress, constantly growing and ever evolving. I invite you to come back often and see what new blooms have sprung up. ²

Footnotes

1. This site used to be a blog about user assistance, but I decided to pivot to a knowledge garden. Till Aug 2024, I was using a Hugo-based blog at this domain. I’ve moved most of my posts to this garden. The slidedecks for my talks are not available now. ↩

2. I know I used a lot of gardening terms there. Blame it on an earlier version of an LLM. 🤷 ↩
