Tong Pan

A digital garden of writing, maps, and experiments.

This is a slow system for notes, projects, trails, and unfinished work. The structure is stable on purpose, so the content can keep changing.

Now

  • Shaping a long-lived personal system where markdown stays the source of truth.
  • Collecting map fragments, walking notes, and route ideas into more readable trail logs.
  • Using short public notes as a way to think before a project becomes coherent.
