Note

Publish the garden, keep the compost

Ada Ng

Not every note is for other people.

Fleeting notes are compost. Literature notes are private working copies — publish them only when the translation would help a colleague. Permanent notes can be published once they can stand alone.

Folio's garden is a reading surface on top of the same vault: one source of truth, two doors. The Markdown you write here is the Markdown a static garden would emit.
