About Caldera

Caldera transforms your Obsidian vault into a dynamic, publicly accessible digital garden and profile. Designed for knowledge enthusiasts, writers, and developers, it enables users to publish notes that automatically update and grow in a shared space. The tool uniquely combines the familiar Obsidian interface with the power of linked, interconnected content, making it ideal for those who want to showcase their knowledge in a structured yet flexible manner. Its emphasis on privacy ensures that everything remains private by default, with options to selectively publish content. The self-hostable, open-source nature of Caldera appeals to tech-savvy users who value control over their data and customization. By allowing notes to be marked as seedling, budding, or evergreen, it provides a visual and organizational structure that helps users track the maturity of their content. Overall, Caldera is perfect for individuals and teams aiming to create a living, growing digital garden that reflects their evolving knowledge and ideas.
