digital-gardeners VS forem

Digital Gardens are freeform, public collections of ever-evolving personal knowledge, comparable to an "open" PKM system. Maggie Appleton is my go to thinker about them: She's written about them here and here.

some ideas which came into my mind: 1. You can always ask your question in this subreddit. 2. Bob Doto's Zettelkasten class I now open, if you want to learn about the process of taking notes: https://bobdoto.computer/zettelkasten-class (a Digital Garden is a public Zettelkasten in my opnion) 3. Maggie Appleton's github is very helpful for learning about Digital Gardening: https://github.com/MaggieAppleton/digital-gardeners

Well, as a fellow nerd with too much time and little qualifications, I offer you my compliments and encouragement! And if you'd ever find the time and the will to return to the website idea, I suggest you look into the concept of digital gardens, which are sort of anti-blogs (non-chronological, incomplete by design, encourage thinking aloud).

The website's theme and philosophy is around digital garden. I've been trying to build one myself and I found this list as a source of inspiration: https://github.com/MaggieAppleton/digital-gardeners#digital-...

If you want a comprehensive summary of digital gardening, you can't go wrong with Maggie Appleton's A Brief History & Ethos of the Digital Garden or her repo of resources.

Permanence is my concern with the indie blog hosting services mentioned here (bearblog, prose.sh, nicheless.blog)

Also, because you already have a lot of the content, maybe you don't need a blog? what about a "digital garden" ?

If you have your content in a note-taking app like obsidian, there is even simple tutorials on how to freely publish it with all those precious "multiple tags per category", all in one go.

and here is a general collection of dope blog additions: https://brainbaking.com/post/2022/04/cool-things-people-do-w...

My overall advice is unless you're a designer flexing your skills is to focus less on the design and more on the actual writing! The internet is littered with the emaciated husks of nice good looking sites hosting nary an entry beyond "How I Made My New Blog With X"

There’s a term digital garden and personal wiki that might help you find this kind of thing.

Here’s a curated list: https://github.com/MaggieAppleton/digital-gardeners

Includes resources on how to start your own.

The journey of deploying an open-source software platform like forem can be complex and daunting, but with the right tools and services, it can also be remarkably rewarding. This article details my experience deploying Forem, the software behind the Dev.to, on Render.com, deploying Promptzone.com.

In the future, I think we will probs make this uniform with the others. I've logged this request here on GitHub... hmmm, maybe I should embed it here instead. 😉

I even opened a discussion, which got no responses so far (which I think existed somewhere else or I am the only one with this issue...).

Whether you're sharpening your JS skills, making PRs to your OSS repo of choice 😉, sprucing up your portfolio, or writing a new post here on DEV, we'd like to hear about it.

Do more documentation-related and code contributions to Forem's repository

This year again, I contributed to DEV with multiples ways, I've contributed very little to the repository, moderated the bad posts quite a bit, and welcomed newcomers to the platform. I feel that a place like this should always be so welcoming to users, so why shouldn't I?
