Ciao Mondo

This is the first post on my blog. I've been meaning to build a digital garden for a while โ€” a place where ideas can grow, connect, and evolve over time.

Why a Garden?

A blog is chronological. A garden is topological. Posts have dates; notes have connections. I want both.

The garden section of this site is where I tend to my notes. Some are seedlings ๐ŸŒฑ โ€” rough ideas just planted. Others are budding ๐ŸŒฟ โ€” taking shape but not yet mature. And a few might become evergreen ๐ŸŒณ โ€” well-developed reference notes.

The Stack

This site is built with:

  • React Router v7 for routing and SSR
  • MDX for content (markdown + JSX)
  • Tailwind CSS v4 for styling
  • KaTeX for math rendering

Here's some inline math to prove it works:

And a block equation:

Here's a link to the hebbian-memory in the garden.

What's Next

I'll be adding notes to the garden and occasionally writing longer posts here. Stay tuned.
