Grow a web of linked notes, private and public.

FluxGarden is a wiki for one person: a private garden for your thinking, and a public garden for what you're ready to share.

Several FluxGarden pages open in separate browser windows

1

No idea is an island.

Every note connects to others, and the connections are where the thinking happens.

2

No idea is ever finished

(except in retrospect). You refine it, jump off in a new direction, rediscover it a year later, and refine it again. Your notes tool should make that cheap.

3

Some ideas belong in public. Most aren't ready yet.

Moving a thought from private to public should be a copy-paste, not a format conversion.

How it works

So FluxGarden keeps it simple.

You get 2 gardens, under one subdomain you pick (like "alice.flux.garden"):

Inner garden: private, only you can read it.

Outer garden: public, a "wikilog" anyone can read (see mine).

Both work the same way:

Markdown, plus [[double brackets]] to link pages. Every page shows its Backlinks automatically.
A front page of your most recently updated pages, each with an excerpt.
Full-text and title search.
Your outer garden also gets an RSS (Atom) feed.

Editing a page, with [[double bracket]] links

The saved page, with links and Backlinks

It all runs in your browser. That means:

Nothing to install on your laptop, tablet, and phone.

Every page has a URL you can bookmark and link to.

Open as many pages in as many windows as you like, sized and arranged your way.

It's your browser, so your extensions, settings, and habits all come along.

Who makes this?

I'm Bill Seitz, and for now it's just me. I've been keeping my notes in wikis for 25 years:

1999 discovered wiki, and immediately started using it for my private notes.
2002 switched my blog to a "wikilog".
2003 started a hosting service for wikilogs.
2013 wrote and self-published the ebook Hack Your Life with a Private Wiki Notebook: Mash Up "Getting Things Done" and Other Systems.
2016 after years of running forks of other people's code, moved my public wikilog to code I wrote from scratch. That code is FluxGarden.
2020 moved my private notebook onto it too.

My outer garden now has about 18,000 pages, and my inner garden about 3,000. I use FluxGarden every day, so I'm usually the first to hit any rough edge.
