Definition

There does not seem to be a general consensus on this, but I will say that I consider a digital garden to be any text-based resource that links data together in a non-linear way through hyperlinking, with the express purpose of learning in public and/or links bits of information together to create a network of thoughts.

Apps

• Obsidian - This is what I use now to write for this site.
• Roam Research - I haven't tried this, but it's often cited as a tool for maintaining a digital garden.
• TiddlyWiki I had one of these for note-taking when I was in college, before I was aware of the concept of a digital garden.
