I admit I don't fully get it, so here's the creator's own take on their platform.

Documents are fully publicly viewable and editable, as their is no identity system in place. Don’t put anything private, secret, or important in prototype 1.

A couple snippets I liked

We are all constantly bombarded with information, a lot of it is really good information too, but the challenge is absorbing it and applying it to the context of our lives and careers.

Just like plants in the garden I’ve got posts that are in various stages of growth and nurturing. Some might wither and die, and others (like this one you are reading) will flourish and provide a source of continued for the gardener and folks in community that visit 👋

What are your thoughts on it? Are you building anything in public right now?

https://notes.andymatuschak.org/zCMhncA1iSE74MKKYQS5PBZ is where I first came across the idea. Combined with what comes up when I search for "building in public" online so I can write a quick explanation for this community, it does seem to be discussed more in the context of projects you intend to release to the public, commercial stuff, and not just personal projects, but I am only realizing that now. And hey, I might be wrong! Let me know in the comments.

I have been posting other peoples' digital gardens as I come across them. I also find digital gardening guides, but they often contain similar information so I don't always post them. I do want to keep this community active while also not just spamming you with repetitive posts that add nothing (i.e. beginner tutorial after beginner tutorial, although what would be useful is compiling a megathread of all of them). What, besides other peoples' digital gardens, would you like to see posted here?

Been a bit quiet here, so I thought I'd liven things up a bit.

Any Fediverse tools or services that would work with digital gardening?

I originally replied to this post with a list of digital gardens and kept updating my reply as I found more gardens. As I was making this post I found my reply did not even make it over to that person's post on their instance. So I figure I might as well make that list of digital gardens more accessible to everyone! I'll keep this updated as I find more. Feel free to post some in the comments!

Hello, I came to the conclusion that stealing other peoples second brains is a very efficient way of obtaining information.

So... Do you guys have have like a big fat list of all digital gardens in the world all nicely tagged?

Thanks in advance.

This isn’t mine, but I found it while looking for some resources on how to do something in Obsidian and it looks pretty cool!

Technically, any cms should be able to generate a Digital Garden. However, some tools make it easier than others.
