Host your second brain and [digital garden](https://jzhao.xyz/posts/digital-gardening) for free.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Curious what it can do? You're on it right now! The entire Quartz documentation is fully hosted using Quartz.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Why Quartz?
 | 
			
		||||
Hosting a public digital garden isn't easy. There are an overwhelming number of tutorials, resources, and guides for tools like [Notion](https://www.notion.so/), [Roam](https://roamresearch.com/), and [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/), yet none of them have super easy to use *free* tools to publish that garden to the world.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
I've personally found that 
 | 
			
		||||
1. It's nice to access notes from anywhere
 | 
			
		||||
2. Having a public digital garden invites open conversations
 | 
			
		||||
3. It makes keeping personal notes and knowledge *playful and fun*
 | 
			
		||||

		||||
> “[One] who works with the door open gets all kinds of interruptions, but [they] also occasionally gets clues as to what the world is and what might be important.” — Richard Hamming
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
I was really inspired by [Bianca](https://garden.bianca.digital/) and [Joel](https://joelhooks.com/digital-garden)'s digital gardens and wanted to try making my own.

		||||

		||||
**The goal of Quartz is to make hosting your own public digital garden free and simple.** You don't even need your own website. Quartz does all of that for you and gives your own little corner of the internet.
