How this garden works

Notes that grow in public: three stages, links between notes, and a list of what links back.

Posts are finished when they’re published. Notes in the garden aren’t: they start rough and get rewritten as I learn more, so each one carries a stage and the date it was last tended.

🌱 Seedling: a rough idea. Incomplete, possibly wrong.
🌿 Budding: taking shape. Cleaned up, still growing.
🌳 Evergreen: settled. Reasonably complete, still tended.

Links go both ways

Notes link to each other with double brackets, and every note ends with the pages that link to it, so you can follow an idea in either direction. The details are in Wiki-links and backlinks in Astro.

Posts and TIL notes can link into the garden too, with the same double brackets.

Reading it

There’s no “start here”. Pick a note from the tree and follow the links. Seedlings are honest drafts; if one is wrong, that’s expected, and it will change.
