Welcome

Hi! My name is Owais and this is my digital garden. It’s a collection of notes I’ve taken on topics that interest me. This includes a lot of engineering and programming notes that I’ve taken (and continue to take) throughout my career and while working on personal projects. My hope is that someone learns something new or finds some wisdom that resonates with them.

Digital gardens fascinated me for a long time. I miss the days of stumbling upon the odd personal site and want to be a part of bringing that back. I’ve tried keeping gardens in various iterations with tools like notion and even google drive, but nothing has been quite as consistent as a combination of Obsidian on my phone, Neovim on my computer, and Astro for publishing.

Inspiration

Top of the list is definitely the Blue Book and the writing of Maggie Appleton. She wrote a phenomenal essay on the history & ethos of digital gardens.

Also, take a look at my notes on cultivating a garden.
