The dish

What it makes.

a digital garden of interlinked notes

Glasshouse

Slow, public notes on note-taking, memory, and tending ideas. Nothing here is finished — that's the point. Notes link to one another, carry a growth status, and get re-tended a little at a time. Wander by following links, search below, or open the map.

Search the garden

10 notes, 25 links between them.

🌲Evergreen4

Settled — densely linked, something I’d defend.

🌿Growing4

Actively tended — reworked, still moving.

🌱Planted2

A seedling — rough and unfinished, on purpose.
