A few ways to wander around.
The shape of the place
Three folders organize what’s here: short-form notes, long-form essays, and projects I’ve built.
Notes here carry a maturity tag: seedling (raw seed), budding (developing), evergreen (stable thinking). Some are barely a sentence. That’s intentional.
The sidebars
Explorer (left) lists everything in each folder chronologically. The closest thing this place has to a blog timeline — useful if you’d rather skim than wander.
On the right, three panels:
- Table of contents — Useful on essays, less so on notes.
- Backlinks — every note that links to the one you’re reading. In a garden, this is often more interesting than the note itself: it shows where the idea has already been picked up. A long backlinks list means a load-bearing note.
- Graph view — a small map of how this note connects to others, in both directions (outbound and inbound). Hover around the local neighborhood; clusters reveal themes you might not have named yet.
How a garden rewards reading
If you find a thought that feels half-cooked, it probably is. If you find one that’s grown into something, even better. The most interesting moments tend to be when you follow a backlink to somewhere unexpected and realize two ideas share a common root.
