This is a good article on digital gardens in the MIT Technology Review.
Here’s a nice quote:
“Gardens … lie between farmland and wilderness,” he wrote. “The garden is farmland that delights the senses, designed for delight rather than commodity.”
As strypey points out though… the article is basically describing personal websites.
@neil This article explains personal homepages – the original medium of the web – as if they are a radical, new innovation. It’s amazing how quickly and how thoroughly the early history of the net has been papered over.@sunquan
@strypey @sunquan Yes indeed. Funny how it is described as a growing movement that’s a reaction to social media.Enjoyed these articles recently, which reference the history and what happened: https://neustadt.fr/essays/the-small-web/ https://stackingthebricks.com/how-blogs-broke-the-web/
