A digital garden is a different way of thinking about publishing online. Unlike a traditional blog with polished, finished posts, a garden is a collection of evolving ideas at various stages of development. It's a place that makes it possible to make connections between all the things that you are consuming or thinking about.
There are several platforms and tools that can be used to create a digital garden, such as Obsidian, Roam or Notion. Some people publish their gardens on their personal website. Other people create an analog version by using physical notebooks and referencing page numbers.
This is the first note of my digital garden. The garden will grow over time as I add more thoughts and connections.
