to read and to watch, stepping outside of the garden and into the wider world 🌎
Why is this here?
This was made as a personal response to frustration that I was experiencing with different kinds of read-later and bookmarking apps. None of them fit the bill for what I wanted to have, so I thought that I might as well make something of my own that doesn’t require an extra app or account to maintain. Basically, this page is meant to be a sort of bookmarks and highlights list. They are first and foremost pertinent to my current areas of interest.
The thought compilation, meanwhile, is probably just to sum up some ideas and thoughts I have that I may or may not address later. It’s meant for those annoying thoughts that suddenly pop up into your head while you’re focusing on a different thing.
Note to self
I probably shouldn’t delete these when I’m done with them - instead, I should mark them as done, link them with the relevant note I probably made, and keep them here for, well, safekeeping. The downside to this is that the articles and videos are relevant on the content staying online.
Also, I should probably add new things from the top rather than the bottom, since scrolling downward is gonna be pretty annoying.

We have reached the point in the gardening hype train where people seem to think backlinks, hover previews, and visual graphs are what define a “digital garden.”
This is misguided. Gardening is a practice that treats a personal website as a constantly evolving landscape where you develop your ideas in public.
[It is] explorable, rather than structured as a strictly linear stream of posts… [and] slowly grown over time, rather than creating “finished” work that you never touch again.”
