The 10,000 page plan

Right now: 2,060 pages, counted.
Goal: 5,000 first, then 10,000.

We do not plant pages at random. We plant them in kindness order. The kindest work goes first, because everything here is ranked by kindness, and the farming follows the ranking.

Kindness is: feeding people. Welcoming people in (Thanksgiving, Christmas, having people over). Smiles. Compliments. Props: sending nice text messages. Little gifts and gift giving. Hugs. Helping people. Being there for people. Writing people nice letters. The order below follows it.

THE ORDER

1. Food. Recipes feed people, so recipes sit at the top of the list and the heart of the farm. 575 recipes exist today, in English, Spanish, and Indonesian. Every new language plants all 575 again, for a whole new country of cooks. Seven languages to go: 4,025 pages.

2. Learning. Starvard courses teach people real things, free. 113 courses are live. The full ranked catalog adds about 500 more.

3. Help. Helpfulpages guides walk people through hard tasks one step at a time. 113 guides are live, growing past 300: about 200 more.

4. News. Clear News tells people what happened, plainly, with no rage bait. Small daily plantings that add up.

5. The harvest already grown. 715 finished pages are waiting behind one stuck door at The Studio. When it opens, they all count at once.

6. The open gate. Doodle crawls the web and admits pages that pass the kindness bar. Every admitted page is one more plant in the field.

Anyone can farm pages. We plant in kindness order. Feed people first.
