Working Efficiently Within a 20KB Note Size Limit

Working Efficiently Within a 20KB Note Size Limit

Constraints improve clarity. A 20KB cap in FragBin encourages focused, portable knowledge artifacts.

1. Why the Cap Helps

  • Discourages dumping giant logs
  • Forces summarization
  • Improves load time & indexing

2. Trim Bloat Tactically

Bloat SourceRemedy
Large stack trace repeatsKeep first + delta
Verbose JSONCollapse with placeholders
Inline assetsLink externally

3. Modularize

Split multi-topic content into separate pastes. Link them with a small index.

4. Summarize Early

Lead with context + TL;DR so readers decide relevance quickly.

5. Compression Patterns

  • Remove redundant whitespace
  • Use tables instead of verbose bullet groups
  • Replace repeated directory paths with variables

6. Monitor Size As You Type

If the UI shows remaining bytes, treat <10% remaining as a refactor signal.

7. Checklist Before Saving

  • Removed noise
  • Split oversized sections
  • Clear summary present

Working within limits is an editing skill-one that keeps FragBin fast and content digestible.
