New feature: Knowledge gardens

When I started this digital garden two months ago, I was bothered by the “garden”. There are no plants in my digital garden thus far. In fact, plants aren’t necessary in a digital garden. This niggling thought stayed and eventually culminated in what I’ve implemented as the “knowledge garden” feature. A garden would be a webpage with an interactive mindmap. The nodes would be plants pointing to resources centered on a topic. The knowledge garden is a way to visualize what I’ve consumed and/or created about a topic. This post is about the new feature and how I’ve vibe coded it with Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini.

Self-hosting a static website on my old phone

About seven months ago, I watched a video by Felix Kjellberg i.e. PewDiePie entitled “I’m DONE with Google” (dramatic title I know). Aside from seeding the realisation that I’m quite dependent on Google applications, I was surprised by how Kjellberg re-purposed his old Steamdeck for self-hosting applications. This surprise left a niggling thought at the back of my head on self-hosting: could I re-purpose an old mobile phone of mine for self-hosting too?
