Digital Gardening Tools and Resources
This collection of apps, tools and articles is here to help you learn more about digital gardening. Ideally, it's here to help you start your own garden.
What is "digital gardening"?
A garden is something inbetween a personal blog and a wiki. It's a collection of evolving notes, essays, and ideas that aren't strictly organised by their publication date. They're inherently exploratory – posts are linked through contextual associations. They aren't refined or complete - posts can be published as half-finished thoughts that will grow and evolve over time. They're less rigid, less performative, and less perfect than the personal "blogs" we're used to encountering on the web.
See the Theory, Philosophy, and Navel-gazing section for more on the 'what' of gardens.
