Taking notes

I started this idea at the end of 2022. There are so many interesting articles, blog posts, and people showcasing what they build, but it’s simply too much to consume it all at once.  So I wondered: what if I had a good way to collect all of this and make it easy to revisit whenever I want?

 

Over time, that idea grew into this site — a personal collection of links (which I call notes) covering all kinds of topics that I, as a web developer, find interesting.

 

Just recently, I came across this YouTube video that made everything click. From that moment on, it became clear to me that I’ve been building a digital garden all along.

 

You can read more about the technical journey behind this digital garden on “What’s behind all this”
