  • Drafted up some notes about a problem I had with CSS grid

June 9th, 2020

  • I almost didn't do any gardening today, but luckily I remember literally as I was about to get in bed.
  • It's probably better to do some bad last minute gardening rather than none at all, so I'm going to go for it.

  • I've been mulling over an idea about combining react hooks, I'm going to try to flush it out more using the garden
    • I'm writing a very quick version of this to get it out quickly
    • A good second step would be to have some more meaningful function names here. A good name would add to the explanation of what's going on rather than leave the reader to guess.
    • I don't really have the energy to flush this out a lot today. In the spirit of shipping more, I'm still going to put it out and later I can edit it.
  • One interesting idea I had is that we can use bidirectional links to be able to use jargon to make writing more succinct for readers that are familiar with it, yet still provide context so that those who are not will not feel lost. You can put the jargon word as a link and then a definition of it on it's own page.
  • What if I were to move all the pages into the garden? All that's really left of importance is the homepage, and it would probably look nicer if it were rendered through the garden anyway.
    • I would need to figure out how to import images inside of mdx/theme-brain. Maybe that's easy, maybe not!

  • I decided to try out Obsidian since I've heard about it as an alternative to Roam Research
  • I don't really know what the goal here is going to be. I'm mostly just going along and we'll see as we go!
  • Maybe I could redirect /now to /garden/now and have that in the garden as well
  • I moved my resume to the garden because what the hell
  • Maybe I should add a 404 page

June 6th, 2020

  • Today I was able to set up the plugin and deploy to my site my first version of this garden!
  • I've been thinking that the best strategy to get started is to not worry about getting it right and instead just try to put a lot of it out.
  • That's sort of the idea with learning in public right? That as you go you record your thoughts instead of trying to get it all best the first time around

Where have I mentioned this?
