What is a digital garden? And what is it to me? More to come soon. I will be trying to figure this out. For now, it’s a way to lower the bar to writing and debugging my thinking. And that without the pressure of publishing something ‘finished’ like a blog post. Things written here will grow, or not, like in a garden.
Guiding principles
- The goal is to learn.
- I write for myself.
- Publishing the garden gives me a little push to write not just gibberish.
- Notes with the seed tag are for notes that have only just sprouted and are very drafty, and might just even be a bookmark.
- I don’t like the seedling or sapling tag, I might still even try out a zettelkasten approach.
- Notes with the fruit tag are for notes that have already received a lot more love and could potentially be coherent ;).
I am taking a lot of inspiration from https://jzhao.xyz/posts/networked-thought
This reminds me, I want to be able to neatly attribute to sources where a thought might be derived from. How do I do that with the current Obsidian and Quartz setup?
Technical details
- Obsidian for notes.
- Notes commited to self-hosted forgejo.
- Static content build thanks to Quartz.
- Content served through a self-hosted Kubernetes.
