Setting up your own digital garden with Jekyll
Note-taking tools
Capacities – A studio for your mind
Digital gardens and public note-taking spaces are all the rage these days, as they’re a great way to foster an environment where ideas mesh together and others can take inspiration from. You can set up a digital garden of your own in a few minutes, and have your own personal corner of the Internet where you’ll seed and grow ideas.
A way to build one:
Okay, fine, I’m using a static site generator now - Xe Iaso
- Lume is used to build pages
- Tailwind is used to style everything
- The site can now automatically rebuild itself in production to reflect changes to the site’s configuration, patron membership, blog posts, or my resume.
- The site is now hosted on Fly.io
- I use MDX to write blog posts now
-
Next steps
You can now cd into the my-astro-site project directory.
Run npm run dev to start the Astro dev server. CTRL-C to close.
Add frameworks like react and tailwind to your project using astro add
