The Garden vs The River

Robin Rendle quoting Chris Armstrong:  ... Chris argues that personal websites could become more like wikis instead: With digital gardens, every new piece of content in the network has the potential to add depth and context to every other part. The whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. I truly love the idea that topics might grow over time with constant refininement .

Toot

Written by alan :blobfoxheadphones: on 2025-01-16 at 23:22

@chriscoyier I've been thinking a lot about my site over the past few days. I've ended up even further into the idea that subdomains are a key thing for me.

Basic posts go on the main www site/blog. But, anything that needs a supporting structure or just feels big enough gets its own subdomain.

Having a clean slate for them is inspiring. Getting to do a thing without having to think about where/how it fits in with the rest of the site is liberating.

I've never really done slash pages, but the idea of making a subdomain for similar effect is pretty appealing (e.g. uses_alanwsmith_com, but it would probably be what-i-use_alanwsmith_com)
