What is a digital garden?
Section titled “What is a digital garden?”A digital garden is a collection of notes, ideas, and resources that grow and evolve over time — unlike traditional blog posts, which are published once and rarely revisited. Think of it as a personal wiki: interconnected, imperfect, and always a work in progress.
The concept has been around for a while, but it gained traction as more people started looking for alternatives to the pressure of polished, SEO-driven blogging. Instead of writing for an audience, you write for yourself first — and share it openly in case someone else finds it useful.
How this garden works
Section titled “How this garden works”The knowledge base section of this site is my digital garden. It contains short, focused notes on tools, workflows, and topics I care about — from Kubernetes to music production.
Pages here are:
- Living documents — updated whenever I learn something new or my thinking changes
- Interconnected — notes link to each other freely, forming a web of ideas rather than a linear sequence
- Imperfect by nature — some pages are thorough, others are just starting points. That’s intentional
Built on Obsidian
Section titled “Built on Obsidian”This garden is rooted in my Obsidian workflow. Since switching from OneNote in 2022, I’ve been writing and organising notes in Markdown daily — both personally and at work. The structure, sidebar navigation, dark theme, and “Last updated” timestamps on this site are all designed to echo that Obsidian vault feel.
The site itself is built with Astro Starlight and the entire source is open on GitHub. All knowledge base pages can also be browsed directly on GitHub.
