A brief thought about digital gardens
Currently deep in the weeds of the Tana notes app, which led me to Maggie Appleton's website and essays. So now I'm wondering about how close Cartoon Gravity is to her idea of a Digital Garden, and if that ideal is actually achievable. I always wanted this to be a kind of scrapbook, but the nature of writing and posting stuff, and of it being displayed in a newest-first system makes the whole process feel a lot less organic.
In some ways, I wonder if that means that Ghost, as a system, is wrong for me. But maybe I just need to find a better, more frictionless way to use it.
