Welcome to the Garden of Learning.
This is a public subset of notes from the private notes system of Juhis. It’s a digital garden: a published interconnected collection of notes. You might call it a personal wiki and that’s fine too!
I mainly make notes about technology, communities, gaming, learning, notes and writing. Occasionally about everything else.
I also write a more chronological, traditional blog on my main site and publish weekly posts about same topics as I write more evergreen notes here.
This digital garden is an act of working with my garage door open. I don’t want to keep my accumulating knowledge hidden in a basement but rather work on building a knowledge base in the open together with all of you.
These notes are active, evolving and never finished. Some of them are very crude collections of incomplete thoughts or collections of links to other parts of the web. Other parts are more polished as I work on my notes when I have time.
Important thing to know is that there’s no goal to “finish” any notes. While my goal is to make my notes better so I can use them better, sometimes a good enough note is just a quick sketch or link dump.
The target audience of this digital garden is me. Since it’s not a separate piece of publishing but my daily notes and personal knowledge base, its primary purpose is to help me capture and retain information, learn new things and give birth to new ideas. If at the same time, this digital garden serves to help someone else achieve those same things, that’s most wonderful.
Just like any great garden, it takes a decade or two to nurture the plants and plots until it blooms and reaches its full beauty.
How to navigate this garden
You are cordially invited to join me on this long and wonderful journey.
Take your time walking through different branching paths and sniff the flowers of thoughts on your way. You can do this by following internal links from notes to each other - hese are links without an “external icon” at the end - or in the Backlinks section.
Alternatively, you can read the Garden Plan which is on the left panel on desktop and at the bottom on mobile. It shows different plots by type of notes and you can browse through and then go directly to a note you’d like to read.
Thirdly, you can explore more notes of the same species by clicking on the tags under the titles of individual notes.
Fourth, you can see what are the newest notes planted in the garden through the Recent Notes listing on the right side bar or at the bottom depending on your device.
