Host your second brain and [digital garden](https://jzhao.xyz/posts/digital-gardening) for free. 1. Extremely fast full-text search by pressing `/`

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*
