# About This is a garden, not a service. Nobody owns it. Someone tends it. The community grows in it. ## How publishing works Every page on this site started as a markdown file in a git repo. Write a `.md` file, push it, and it becomes a page. The directory structure is the site structure. Edit with anything — the web editor on git.sweetgrass.garden, a text editor, even your phone. It's just text files. ## The principles **Sovereignty.** Your stuff is yours. You can move it anywhere, anytime, for any reason. **No extraction.** No ads, no tracking, no engagement metrics. This isn't a platform — it's a garden. **Simplicity.** The technology should be understandable by the people who depend on it.
