Digital Gardening

[toothpastepancake]

Hi everyone! I recently got into the idea of digital gardening. According to IndieWeb, A digital garden is a particular practice of creating & growing an online and public IndieWeb presence that focuses more on topics & relationships than a timeline like blogs, has content of different levels of development, is imperfect and often a playground for experimentation, learning, revising, iteration, and growth for diverse content, perhaps interlinked with other digital gardens. It’s kind of like a carefully tended digital commonplace book.

I was wondering if anyone else did digital gardening? I’ve seen more techy people use the SSG Quartz, and for non small web solutions, Obsidian is popular, others use Notion, Bear, etc. Tons of apps exist for this (r/digitalgardening is a good subreddit!) and I think you could use DW for it too! but I serve mine on a static hand coded site here on my personal website and my question is. If you have a public digital gardening on the small web, I’d love a link! If you like the idea and want to try it, let me know!

I don't care much for the "learning in public" angle (great if others enjoy it, but the way it was described in the original article and the articles it linked to on the topic made it seem a bit too performative to me), but I am definitely for more webpages that are organised by topic (i.e., pages rather than just a single blog with tags). And I think it's 100% fine to put a page up even though it's a WIP.
