Hello World: The Cyber Garden Begins
• 3 min read
Welcome to the Cyber Garden
This is the beginning of a new digital space. Unlike a traditional blog, which is a stream of posts, a Digital Garden is an interconnected network of thoughts.
Why Astro?
I chose Astro for this project because:
- Performance: Zero JS by default.
- DX: Content Collections make managing MDX a breeze.
- Flexibility: I can use React components inside my markdown.
// Example of the Zod schema we used
const blog = defineCollection({
schema: z.object({
title: z.string(),
tags: z.array(z.string()),
publishDate: z.coerce.date(),
}),
});The Design Philosophy
“A garden is never finished.”
This site is designed to grow. As I learn new things, I’ll add new nodes to the graph.
Key Features
- Bi-directional linking
- Network visualization
- Dark mode aesthetics
Stay tuned for more.
