The Garden

A Digital Garden is a place to share your ideas and notes with the public. It follows the concept of Learning in Public and allows you to publish a collection of evolving ideas and thoughts.

Think of it as a laboratory where your internal work and the evolution of research are displayed for public to see.

There are three stages in a digital garden.

1. Seeds: These are raw ideas. Plant seeds in your mind garden by taking smart personal notes.
2. Trees: Grow your seed by forming new branches — connecting related ideas. Write structured, concise notes to publish in your digital garden. One note = One idea.
3. Fruits: This is the refined, publishable content — essays, videos, or even a book at some point.

Why You Need a Digital Garden

Traditional blogs and research articles follow a linear structure and present a complete picture. In contrast, a Digital Garden allows you to document ideas in a non-linear fashion, letting them evolve.

Why is this valuable?

• Continuous Refinement: Blogs are one-time written work that is mostly forgotten. But Digital gardens require continuous updates and refinements.
• Public Knowledge Sharing: Publishing your notes publicly not only helps others but also invites feedback from peers and others working in the same field.
• Idea Visualization: By linking related notes, you create a clearer understanding of your ideas and their connections.
