Digital Garden

A garden is something inbetween a personal blog and a wiki. It’s a collection of evolving notes, essays, and ideas that aren’t strictly organised by their publication date. They’re inherently exploratory – posts are linked through contextual associations. They aren’t refined or complete - posts can be published as half-finished thoughts that will grow and evolve over time. They’re less rigid, less performative, and less perfect than the personal “blogs” we’re used to encountering on the web.

Software​

  • Emanote
  • Jekyll Garden - A Jekyll theme for creating a digital garden.
    • There’s some things I like about this, namely the backlinks support. I wonder if I can put this functionality into Docusaurus.
  • mathieudutour/gatsby-digital-garden, a library to create a digital garden, sourcing content from Roam Research.
    • This has support for generating a graph of backlinks; I’d love to add that into my garden at one point. Not sure how complicated that would be.
