# 🌻 [WIP] Digital Garden
Digital Garden is a content-first project meant to make it easier to
write and curate content on the web. This is a project I've built for
myself but hope it can be useful for other folks looking to create
their own gardens that leverage the _open_ web. You can use components
in your content seamlessly using [MDX][] which is rad for writing.
## Motivation
I was inspired by [numerous posts](#related) that struck a chord.
At the time of writing this I had roughly 100 WIP blog posts and essays
that were sitting, hidden in a local directory: `~nt`.
With a nice digital garden, content can be fun again. With [MDX][] you can
now write dynamic and immersive content that can _show_ rather than _tell_.
I've found myself writing a lot more, and want to make it easy as hell to
share that content with the community. With a digital garden I can share
thoughts with folks without having to copy pasta the material to a GitHub
Gist.
## Installation
Install the libraries that are needed:
```sh
yarn add gatsby gatsby-theme-digital-garden react react-dom
```
## Usage
Create a `gatsby-config.js` that uses the `gatsby-theme-digital-garden`
theme:
```js
// gatsby-config.js
module.exports = {
plugins: [
{
resolve: 'gatsby-theme-digital-garden',
options: {}
}
]
}
```
### Project structure
```txt
site
├── gatsby-config.js
├── package.json
├── pages
│ └── index.md
│ └── contact.md
├── posts
│ └── my-first-post.md
└── wiki
├── music
│ └── list.md
└── thoughts
├── thoughts-1.md
└── thoughts-2.md
```
### Ordering your content
__:warning: Not yet implemented__
Only the journal feature uses chronological order by default since it's meant
to be a long running diary of ideas. The posts and wiki categories default
to alphabetical but allow for you to set a priority. The priority key is used
to sort. The higher priority number wins.
```txt
---
title: My wiki page
priority: 9999
---
```
## 🛰 Future
This project is nowhere close to completed. There are numerous
things on the horizon like:
- Content ordering
- Wiki index page
- Typography theming
- Layout theming
- Custom colors
- Projects section (portfolio)
- Post archive
## Built with
- [MDX][]
- [Gatsby][]
- [gatsby-theme-system][]
