I have an ongoing fascination with uncommon media: tacit knowledge videos, reference works, internal documents. This fascination includes digital gardens! I love it when people share their notes publicly online. Especially when I quite admire the note taker, these notes give me an interesting vignette into a different part of the person’s thinking.

Digital Gardens are essentially public Obsidian notes.

One fun way to browse these is searching `site:[note URL] [search phrase]`. Another way is just by clicking around.

Here are some of my favorites:

• Andy Matuschak. The canonical digital garden. I’ve spent many hours browsing these notes. Andy’s thoughts on productivity and learning have influenced me
• Manifold Markets. Manifold (a social media startup) shares its internal documents. This includes meeting notes, budgets, and customer interviews. Fascinating!
• Peter Hartree. I admire Peter’s career; he shares snippets into his productivity habits here.
• Soren Bjornstad. Soren is thoughtful about a range of topics, including notetaking and productivity.

Here are some other ones:

• Tom Critchlow
• John Mavrick
• Neel R.
• Jacob Valdez
• Maggie Appleton
• Nathan Young
• Helena Rosengarten
• Nicole van der hoeven
• Elizabeth van Nostrand
