I find ability to share the ideas being in development beautiful and empowering. For my digital garden in its current state, I was inspired by and shamelessly copied Maggie Appleton's metaphor:
- seedling: early explorations, raw thoughts;
- growing: somewhat developed, might have major iterations to come;
- evergreen: mostly finished, at most minor iterations to come.
