Design choices

Contemplating a small design change. I'm currently wrapping short form content (notes and links) inside a container, e.g:

Screenshot of the linked page, showing the contents of a note contained within a square box.

Whereas posts are displayed directly on the page background, like so:

I originally did this as a visual cue to indicate a distinction between short and long form content. But I'm starting to think it makes more sense to use "the box" as a visual distinction between main content and additionals.

Like if I'm adding related posts, subscribe links or even comments to the content pages.
