A digital garden is your corner of the internet— a place for you to explore and write about what interests you, just because it interests you.
A garden is a collection of evolving ideas that aren’t strictly organised by their publication date. They’re inherently exploratory – notes are linked through contextual associations.
They aren’t refined or complete - notes are ed as half-finished thoughts that will grow and evolve over time. They’re less rigid, less performative, and less perfect than the personal websites we’re used to seeing. From: maggieappleton
A digital garden is a form of ‘the practice’ as i read it by seth godin.
- Leave things somehwere until someone in need stumbles upon it
- practice creating instead of consuming
- seek novel ideas
Key tips and tricks:
- Do NOT copy anything, rewrite it
- Do use QUOTES from people, in quote formatting
- Do NOT use AI at all, use your own. Never paste anything
- If you DO use AI, use a > quote format and source (so it’s like a second voice, not your own)
- Stick to Zettelkasten system, do not use folders
- Link each note via references and maps of content
