# Maggie Appleton 🔗 https://maggieappleton.com/garden/ The most cited digital garden. Illustrated notes and visual essays on programming, design, and anthropology, described as "a collection of imperfect notes, essays, and ideas growing slowly over time." **What makes it good:** - Visible growth stages: seedling → budding → evergreen - Beautiful custom illustrations that distill concepts into single images - Webmentions show where each note is discussed around the web - Her essay [A Brief History & Ethos of the Digital Garden](https://maggieappleton.com/garden-history) is the definitive explainer Also maintains the [digital-gardeners](https://github.com/MaggieAppleton/digital-gardeners) directory.
