zacharykaiwrites Came here to remind everyone to submit their personal site to the internet phone book, but folks are way ahead of me!
# zacharykaiwrites Looks like it's self-submit only.

# unsklble Does anyone incorporate note-taking techniques such as Zettelkasten or "Building Second Brain" in their blogs/sites?

# 
[jeremycherfas] I maintain a sort of Zettelkasten but do not display it publicly.

# 
[capjamesg] What is a Zettelkasten?
# 
Loqi 🗃️ A zettelkasten is note taking system featuring atomic notes which are densely interlinked and are used primarily for writing and acting as an external memory https://indieweb.org/zettelkasten
# [capjamesg] unsklble We have a wiki page on the topic that you might like ^
# [capjamesg] We also have one on digital gardens.
# [capjamesg] What is a digital garden?
# Loqi 🌿🪴 A digital garden is a particular practice of creating & growing an online and public IndieWeb presence that focuses more on topics & relationships than a timeline like blogs, has content of different levels of development, is imperfect and often a playground for experimentation, learning, revising, iteration, and growth for diverse content, perhaps interlinked with other digital gardens https://indieweb.org/digital_garden

# [simonbc] Hey there. I'm currently building two writings tools for the web: one edits markdown, one is WYSIWYG (although it stores markdown). I personally love the simplicity and lightness of the markdown editor, but my sense is that it's not nice UX for the average user. I'm curious, as an indie writer, what has been your experience and what is your preference?

# [capjamesg] You’d have to check this but I think https://bearblog.dev/ supports markdown mainly.
# [capjamesg] I like writing in markdown but I write code so I am used to it. Most people outside of developers don’t use markdown though.
# [capjamesg] I think Ghost does this really well where you can write markdown and it will render as WYSIWYG.
# [capjamesg] That way people who like markdown can use the tool but people who don’t know it can use the WYSIWYG interface as normal.

nirastich Hello again :) I've been reading into the wiki over the past few days and really enjoy the ideas and principles! Mainly owning your own content has always been important to me, which is why I chose to make a website for my LEGO hobby at nirastich.com instead of just posting on Instagram and Pinterest like everyone else. I also like to create my own tools and dashboards, so I can freely tweak them to my needs, some are pub
# [capjamesg] I like the in-reply-to design on https://joelchrono.xyz/blog/i-made-a-one-page-notebook/. It’s really nice!
