welcome to my digital garden!
this repository is my primary note-taking tool, made with Foam (among other things). any notes i take, whether for class, self-learning, or personal discovery, i will likely add it here.
you can view the deployment here: https://renzo-garden.vercel.app/
this is for me, mostly 😅 i had used Notion for the past year to organize my class notes and assignments, which worked great for a while.
however, i needed a way to easily link overlapping concepts and information from the many sources i was consuming - school, social media, friends & family, late night wikipedia rabbit holes, etc.
Foam, and Zettelkasten concepts of notetaking as a whole, are my in-progress solution to this problem.
moreover, i also want the information i'm learning from university to be more accessible and placed in context with my own personal interests. so anyone can use this information, regardless of if you're a student - my goal is to use this method of notetaking for as long as i want to keep learning.
i used a template by yenly on GitHub that uses Next.js in conjunction with Foam.
this deployment is not perfect. the best way to view this is to download the repository and use VSCode alongside the Foam VSCode extension (instructions are on the Foam website but i'll write my own instructions eventually)
by running it locally, you can also use the foam graph to visualize the notes! here's what it looks like so far:
i'm keeping a running list of issues with this deployment on the issues page of the repository
anyway, i'm very indecisive and constantly looking for better solutions, so i might ditch this deployment in favor of something better. please reach out to me if there's anything that you think should be changed. enjoy! 😊
