Hey #fediverse! Is there an actively maintained directory, wiki, list in a git repo, or something similar of #smallWeb or #digitalGarden websites?

@liztai@hachyderm.ioResharing this old post where I realised that I didn't have to blog chronologically, and that I can be imperfect with my content.

Elizabeth Tai · Being an imperfect gardener of my digital gardenThe way I blog has drastically changed since I discovered the IndieWeb. For one, I’m less precious with my blog posts. I allow mistakes, errors, and no longer think chronologically. Every pos…
I realize I could have done better than just dropping a link, so let me mention a few things I feel make Seam interesting:
- Org notes are exported to HTML whenever they're saved, with very little setup required.
- You can export arbitrary subsets of notes using a simple "note type" system. For instance, my wiki's private build has both public and draft notes; in the public version, any links to draft notes are rendered as plain text.
- Seam does not clutter your notes with metadata. Your note's top-level heading is its title, which is used for its filename as well. Changing the heading changes the title, and updates all dependent notes.
- Seam has sane, "modern" defaults for HTML. It overrides many of Org's defaults, but you can add your own settings as you wish.
- Per-export HTML templating is available (if a bit primitive at the moment).
In essence I wanted it to be equally easy to build a knowledge base in Emacs, and to share it. Seam is really just a few commands for creating and managing Org notes, plus an exporter that tries hard to do the right thing.

It's with equal parts pride and trepidation that I introduce my new project:
Seam, a personal wiki system based on Org mode.

@liztai@hachyderm.ioI'm happily tinkering away on my #DigitalGarden which is on Wordpress. I know, the horrors! Not only did I discover it isn't *that* hard to tweak a WP template to fit a digital garden system, it's pretty easy too.
Still got lots to do. I finally switched to a new theme and I'm liking it a lot.

@liztai@hachyderm.ioA lot of times the #DigitalGarden scene seems dominated by developers. People who exist in in-between places like me feel a bit frustrated that the tools used - the static site generators - are so unfriendly to non-developer minds.
So, I'm glad that there are some folks who are building digital gardens on #wordpress.
I have plans to use #Obsidian and a plugin - probably either Quartz, Eveloppe or digital garden - to generate my static site one day, but this is a good workaround while I plan the possibly very complicated transition.
I did think about using #Astro but the mechanics of it seem so frightening lol
cc @jenxi I know you did it successfully, but I doubt I'd be able to execute half of what you did!

Real, good faith question: how the hell are you staying regulated, especially when your job hangs in the balance?
I'm finding myself totally sucked into breaking, fucked up news every few minutes. Then reading hot take after hot take after hot take to help process. This isn't helping anyone.
My nervous system is shot. Deleted safari off my phone. Calling my reps. Spending time on my #digitalgarden and cross stitching. Accepting that we're in a long emergency.
What are you doing?

مجد الشهابي @majdal@social.coopAnyone here maintain a #digitalGarden? I've been wanting to convert my personal site to a digital garden for years, but haven't found the right tools.
I want something that allows me to primarily publish my markdown notes, but also occasionally publish a full page html page. It'll most likely be a split screen map that compares a georeferenced archival photo with satellite imagery today.
#Obsidian publish comes close to what I want, but it's slightly too expensive, and isn't multilingual.
My links page now has 1,000+ links!! 
Inspired by knowledge sharing, infodumping, and celebrating others' work, I've organised and uploaded 1,000+ entries across 19 categories! (Some still need organising though).
My rationale for this is best summed up by Melon King: https://thoughts.melonking.net/thoughts/every-site-needs-a-links-page-why-linking-matters
Can't wait to find more links to cool stuff that you'd never know existed that you just can't find at the top of Google's results.

I’m trying to think about how to structure my projects in my notes system (currently using Obsidian) - right now I’ve just got them as files in the root folder along with everything else, but I feel like I’ll start to lose projects and then dive too deep into Dataview queries to find what I need.
Anyone got something that works for them well they’d love to share? I’d also love to see what your project notes look like in general (if you take them)!
I'm hooking my #digitalgarden up to my mastodon account, but I don't want to spam folks with changes, so I'm going to have it update the next toot in this thread when there are changes.

Updates to my digital garden!
Updated my now page: https://travisbriggs.com/now
Redid some of the styling and functionality of the comments to hopefully make them more prominent. Counterintuitively, this involved *reducing* the size of the explanatory text, so that it doesn't blend into the article text and looks more distinct. Comments also now load automatically.
Also realized my timestamps are messed up: https://github.com/audiodude/travisbriggs.com/issues/29

Is it happening?
Mycorrhiza is a free self-hosted #wiki engine developed by @bouncepaw and the wonderful contributors. It features file-based storage, history, a custom markup language, categories, among other features.
Mycorrhiza 1.15 is finally released today! Among changes: linked diffs in Recent changes, /today and /edit-today links, changeable passwords, PDF/printer CSS, and more.

Happy gardening!
For anyone playing along at home, here's what a lazy web search has surfaced so far related to #webrings & #pkm / #digitalGarden communities:
- Derelict Garden, which seems like sort of a blog community & webring, and closest to what I was imagining: https://derelict.garden/
- Maggie Appleton's curated directory of digital gardeners, at the bottom of a ReadMe on digital gardens in general: https://github.com/MaggieAppleton/digital-gardeners?tab=readme-ov-file#digital-garden-directory
- A list of "best" digital gardens (I'm deeply skeptical of using metrics about this genre of thing, but it's a useful shortcut to "prominent" ones): https://github.com/lyz-code/best-of-digital-gardens
I'd love to see more examples, if you know of any to share!
Are there any #webring style networks of people who keep an individual or group #digitalGarden (here meaning "any variety of knowledge management system that isn't strictly a blog")?
The past month of waiting for a response on my lost data has been stressful, and #Logseq's contradictory replies have been incredibly disappointing.
Unfortunately, this type of #dataloss due to #LogseqSync is pretty common, as I'm starting to find out.
It's heartbreaking to part ways with a tool and community that I've learned so much from, but I can no longer trust the software project, and regret recommending it.
I'm open to suggestions for other #PKM #digitalgarden tools (preferably #OSS).
