Some of them get to a published state like [](rasterizing-triangles) and [](baremetal-risc-v), but many of them never make it to the published state. The idea of digital garden seems very appealing to me, as it encourages you to post on a topic even if you haven't made it "publishable" yet. + +## How this site works + +I wanted a bit of challenge when putting together this website as I don't do a lot of web development in my +day to day life, so I thought it would be a good way to learn more things. This site has been entirely built +from scratch using a custom static site generator I setup with pandoc. It relies on pandoc's filters to implement +some of the classic "Digital Garden" features like back linking.
