Digital gardens

I've been reading about the concept of digital gardens, starting from this article.

My interpretation of these is that they're a place on the internet where an author can note down their current thoughts about a specific topic rather than a full, polished article.

This sounds a lot lot like learning in public.

I like the idea of giving yourself permission to think out loud and change your perspectives as you learn/write more.

I think a key part of this is that you revisit what you wrote and develop it.

I like the idea that I'm writing for me, not any particular audience. I'm writing stuff down to help my future self with topics that I may need to reference in the future.

It also reinforces the idea that writing is a way of helping you think.
