Curious minds, you are welcome here.
This is my Pensareto, literally translated from Esperanto as a “thought network” consisting of notes, ideas, and resources.
At heart, this is a digital garden with a name inspired by its forerunners like Zettelkasten, PARA and my own Drift.
Here, ideas and thoughts grow (openly) over time. Some are just seeds, while others have begun to branch out or even flourish.
In this pensareto, you’ll find:
- Unfinished ideas and evolving reflections
- Carefully tended topics and deep dives
- Interconnected notes that invite you to wander and explore
Feel free to browse, meander, and revisit as things change and grow.
Happy exploring!
– JCA
