+# 🌱 Quartz
+Simple second brain and digital garden.
 
 ## Why Quartz?
+Hosting a public digital garden isn't easy. There are an overwhelming number of tutorials, resources, and guides for tools like [Notion](https://www.notion.so/), [Roam](https://roamresearch.com/), and [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/), yet none of them have super easy to use *free* tools to publish that garden to the world.
+
+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*
+
+> “He who works with the door open gets all kinds of interruptions, but he also occasionally gets clues as to what the world is and what might be important.” — Richard Hamming
+
+**The goal of Quartz is to make hosting your own public digital garden free and simple.**
 
 ## Get Started
-[directory](moc/directory.md)
+The entire Quartz documentation is fully hosted using Quartz! You can navigate it using the interactive Graph view below.
+
+If you'd prefer more traditional navigation, you can also find all relevant pages through the main directory.
