Researching Digital Gardens

I'm starting at this MIT Technology Review article. Perfectly in line with the concept of Digital Gardens, I easily follow links and get lost while learning about the 90s topic. Wikipedia is a digital garden, but Mark Berstein has a simplified essay on the topic that is also a digital garden. Putting multiple links in this paragraph kinda illustrates how a digital garden is supposed to work -- in-line citations.

I like what Maggie Appleton does with their garden. Each post is represented as seedling, budding, and evergreen depending on how much work has gone into developing it. I'm going to steal their thing. They also describe "epistemic status" that indicates certainty of what's being said. That's such a wonderfully open way of representing oneself online.

Appleton's site introduced me to Gwern Branwen's amazing garden. The site's default behavior is using popins instead of new tabs. I think this gives the feeling of being allowed to gaze around their garden without committing to any particular path.

I added a social feed page. It was pretty easy, because I used I.J's work on gitlab. I also installed hypothes.is for annotations, so visitors will have two ways to reach me. I've removed both these features. I don't know yet what I want to have in the future.

I made a questionable choice by adding a section dedicated to articles written by AI. I'm unsure of any value they add, which sounds like how AI is being approached in general.
