### Digital Gardens

The content style of this page was inspired by the idea of a **digital garden**, or a personal space to share less-complete ideas that wouldn't be refined enough for a blog but deserve more ~attention~ focus? than what would be expected of a Twitter post. I'll also be trimming and pruning things from time to time, keeping this site as a living document.

I learned about the idea of a digital garden from Maggie Appleton's [Ethos of a Digital Garden](https://maggieappleton.com/garden-history).

### Friends

This site wouldn't exist if I wasn't so envious of how cool my friends are. 
- Cassie Candles [(cassiecandles.net)](https://cassiecandles.net)
- pogmommy [(pogmom.me)](https://pogmom.me)
Both of these websites are *almost* as cool as the people behind them (check them out!), and segue into the next inspiration

### The new-old web

While I didn't get to experience "the old web" first-hand, I always enjoy finding remnants of it. Places like GeoCities had so much personality and charm which hardly exists on the web of today. This site was also directly inspired by [WikiWikiWeb](https://wiki.c2.com).
