Wiki Ruminations

Date: June 07 2023

topics: notetaking, web-dev, projects, organization

I have maintained an obsidian¹ vault of all of my notes for a while, but I'm always thinking about how I can present it in a better way than just a git repo². I have also wanted a new look for my website³, and figured making some sort of static site generator for my notes that allows them to be seamlessly integrated as a part of my website. The notes are taken in basically standard markdown with the addition of YAML frontmatter & [[wiki-style]] links (though they link to the relative path for the file, which makes them easier to convert). Despite this being a pretty simple problem, its coincidence with my burnout from programming and general lack of desire to program has put the project into a sort of limbo.

It's suprisingly easy for the scope to creep outward on a project with sucn relatively fixed parameters. Nevertheless everything from dynamically generating atom.xml files (something this capsule is a bit of a testbed for) to making the entire database searchable has become a point of curiosity. It is at this point I am going to set some hard limits on myself and explain what the end product of my MVP site generator will be.
