Hi!

Welcome to my digital garden.

⭐ What this is: A repository of highlights from the books, articles, and videos I come across. At times, raw or at best mildly processed thoughts.

🚫 What this is NOT: A blog. Super processed thoughts. A repository of things to download.

⏳ Things I'm still working on:

• Tagging and connecting all the things (sample connected page: On the planet...)
• Clean up (Kindle exports look a little wretched)
• Mildly processed thoughts (Thoughtsicles)
• Getting this site to look the way I want
• Author pages

💻 If you want your own, this is the setup I use:

• Reader by Readwise - To grab all the things and do the highlighting. A year ago this wasn't really a thing and I was patching up my own solution. This is my jam.
• Obsidian - To export my highlights into. It's not open source but it uses local markdown files and has a huge plugin community.
• Digital Garden plugin (whoever launched this, I heart you) - this turns your Obsidian files into a site way more easily than whipping up your own. Trust me I KNOW.

👉 How to use:

• There's a search bar at the top and in the menu on the left
• The menu is basically a table of contents
• Tags are clickable and can be found per document. (One day they might be attached to individual highlights thanks to Readwise.)
• At the bottom (or to the right on larger screens) you will find a network graph to see notes that are connected or are mentioned. (Also a work in progress. Knowledge takes time yo. )

🏷️ On the tags:
I chose to start small...no I lie. I had a complex system of tags at first because that's what I do. Then I actually had to maintain it so I scrapped them all in favor of:

#Me > #Humans (Society) > #Planet > #Tech

New ones will get introduced as needed.
