Your projects
are a garden.
Everything you're making outside work is an island here — grown from a plain markdown list you own. Give one a focused session and one honest line — it blooms. Leave it — it wilts, where you can see it.

plant
Type a name. That's the whole setup — no folders, no tags, no plan. Each project grows a biome of its own: bamboo, sakura, the atacama.
water
A focused session — 25 minutes by default, 5 when that’s what it takes, yours to set — then one line: what did you do? No line, no growth. Writing it is the proof the time was real, and the first thing you'll read when you come back.

just start ✳ picks your most-starving project and opens one of its unfinished sources. Zero decisions between you and the work.
It's just markdown.
Even your own file.
The garden compiles from one plain-text page — - project
per line, sources as checkboxes. Type a line, an island rises.
Nothing you can't read in any editor.
Already keep your list in Obsidian? Link your local .md and the forest follows your file — edit it wherever you always have, watch it bloom here. No import, no copy: your file stays yours, MAHO just reads it.

Every project is
a page in a field notebook.
Its state in one line. The last thing you wrote, waiting as the way back in. Its sources — articles, papers, videos — as a queue you check off. And one button.
Neglect is visible.
Nothing nags you. No streak-shaming, no red badges. The garden just shows you what two weeks of not-showing-up looks like — and one single session brings an island all the way back.
Endings are earned.
Finish something and it ends the way it grew — with a last line. Then it never wilts again: eternal bloom, immune to the clock that governs everything else.
Completed islands drift to the grove — the ring around the living garden. The center is what you're doing. The edge is proof of what you did.
"One way to live 400 years is to do five times more things per day."
the garden isn't a debt tracker — it's proof you're alive in many dimensions
