Digital Garden

How gardens work? We put some efforts into them before they give us something (beatiful flowers and/or food) back.

This is the place where I would like to share some stories/photos/things I find interesting. I hope that fruits of this garden will be meaningful conversations, new people, so you are always welcomed to reach me out.

I was inspired by beautiful Clinton Boys’s garden. Reading through was like opening a box with treasures. Besides the content I liked the design so much that I decided to fork it to start my own garden.

Specifics:

  • Graph with nodes & edges between them as an alternative to stream-like mediums -> various entry points & old posts do not fade into oblivion
  • Dynamic as an alternative to static medium -> plant a seed then go back and finish / rewrite the nodes / reestablish connections
  • Make a stream out of a graph -> post, article, book or smth
  • Navigation -> easy to explore adjacent topics
  • Indie web -> unique structure, design & your own way to monetize your efforts if you want to as an alternative to platforms
  • Public & private parts
  • The same concept described by various people with different background
  • Links between wiki & private gardens

New knowledge extraction:

  • Connect ideas & domains -> use knowledge extracted in one in order to boost the different one & get an ability to generalize / going to the roots & revealing the same problem in various areas
  • Log your and people’s routes in your garden
  • Find unobvious routes/connections (obsidian, LLM)
  • Get personalized AI assistance -> make it accessible to LLM (e.g. ChatGPT) in order to have enough context / summarize it
  • Make it accessible to your supervisor in order to adjust a developing trajectory for you based on your boundaries / background / issues

Ideas:

  • Music for garden -> slightly changing ambient soundscape depending on the knowledge cluster (closer the dots – closer the music)
  • Synthesed background -> the same logic as above
  • Make it accessible to LLM in order to support / replace you as an expert in some cases

Here is the map with beloved gardens:
