Inspiration and Goals

I’m inspired to write to achieve some of these following goals

• Learn in public
• Keep my own notes for my own reference
• Quickly share things to others who request help
• Explore new ideas
• Fail early, and post a warning sign
• Collect content to re-purpose
• Build a marketable collection of learning and expertise
• Be searchable on google
• Very quickly iterate based on new learning

Quick Links for Inspiration

• My blog is a digital garden, not a blog
• The Digital Garden
• A Brief History and Ethos of the Digital Garden
• Sector, the future of MDX, and Digital Gardens

Practical Next Steps

How can I even organize thoughts, notes, seedlings themselves

• Consolidate all content, co-located, in one directory
• Distinguish between “growth” of content based on tags/categories/status
• Refactor how I build pages and handle page display between existing 2 types of content
• Back-port some labeling to existing stuff

Can I even find my own notes

• Revise the Alfred workflow locally
• Implement at least some basic fuzzy search
• Broad category/status/tag filters

Experiments to Perform

• How easy is it to consolidate/move all my files together?
• Can I still call out/highlight things on different pages, in groups, in an order?
• Does this introduce friction? Do I need a default for a “quick note”?
• Do I really want to take the nomenclature of seedling, budding, evergreen?

Decisions and Learning To Do

• I definitely would prefer to not have 2 separate pages for content
• I do want to call out, somehow, things that are more mature
• I don’t really care too much about order
• I would like to feature something, changeable, that I’m particularly proud of
