This is not an ad [for Forestry.md]. I am just a happy user.

Digital garden is absolutely fire. I've been wanting something like this. Keep up the good work!

Publish more than just notes.

Forestry.md is the only Obsidian publishing option that supports both Canvas and Bases. Some tools handle one. None handle both.

Canvas Publishing

Your Obsidian Canvases become interactive, navigable pages. Publish visual maps of ideas, project plans, and concept webs, exactly as you designed them.

Obsidian Bases

Publish your Obsidian Bases as rich, structured tables on the web. Databases, trackers, and collections, all rendered beautifully from your vault.

Plant new features with plugins.

Comments, analytics, lightboxes, whole new navigations: the community grows them, you install them with one click from Obsidian. Toggle any of them off whenever, or write and share your own.

The web used to be personal.

Remember when the internet was full of weird homepages, half-finished thoughts, and personal rabbit holes? Before everything became a feed. Your digital garden brings that back: polished essays or rough notes, a single page or a sprawling garden. You decide what gets published, and how, and nobody else gets to shape it.

I built the Digital Garden plugin as a solo project, the original open-source way to turn an Obsidian vault into a website.

Forestry.md is a cloud-hosted option tightly integrated with the plugin, for people who want the simplest possible setup. The plugin and template remain fully open source and free, and Forestry.md is a way to sustain the development that benefits the entire community.

Questions before you plant.

Do I need GitHub or any coding?

No. There is no GitHub account, repo or build step to manage. Install the plugin, create your garden, connect Obsidian and publish.

Does my whole vault get uploaded?

No. Only notes marked with dg-publish: true are published, along with the images and files they embed. Everything else stays in your vault.

Can I take a note down again?

Yes. Unpublish any note from the plugin's Publication Center, and it disappears from your garden on the next build.

Can I publish from my phone?

Yes. The Digital Garden plugin works in Obsidian on iOS and Android too.

What happens if I stop paying for Pro?

Your garden stays online on the Free plan. Pro extras, like custom domains, switch off.

Can I leave?

Anytime. The plugin and template are open source, and you can switch the plugin back to self-hosting in its settings.

That's it. That's the pitch.

Your thoughts are already worth sharing. Give them a home on the web that's yours, on your own terms, in your own way.
