i write my notes on obsidian and publish through quartz. changes are pushed to a private github repository and they show up on this site, which is hosted on vercel.
visual style
i use two typefaces: lora for the titles and body text, and PT mono for code. both are available on google fonts. color palette is handpicked.
site structure
๐ folders
- _media: images, templates, backend/behind the scenes stuff.
- under _media: _img, _template, _base
- collections: lists of things, gathered together.
- commonplace: stuff i cut and paste from elsewhere. highlights or snippets would be other good ways to think about them.
- garden: notes concerning this digital garden and how i manage it.
- lookup: reference material.
- memories: really serves no other purpose besides reminiscing and remembering!
- picdumps: very little writing here. collections of imagesโฆ like a linear pinterest. i wonder if this should go into the collections folderโฆ?
- taste: i attempt to articulate my preferences.
- wish: things i want to do, see, have, etc.
๐ tags
- status/active: iโm doing something with it right now/itโs notably less polished than the other notes.
- faves: i think i curated/articulated/etc this note fairly well.
- topic: currently i only have two: fandom and media. i donโt often tag topics because i KNOW what it is to overly complicate categorizationโฆ so this is just for stuff that might be relevant to each other across folders.
๐ links
the โsee alsoโ at the end of some posts has a list of relevant notes, generated using the obsidian plugin dataview by selecting:
- notes in the exact same tag:
filter(tags, (x) => x = "faves") - notes that are in the same umbrella tag:
contains(tags, "fandom") - notes that have a similar keyword in their filename:
contains(file.name, "jp") - or some combination of the above.
i also use the dataview plugin to generate the โrecently modifiedโ table on the index.
๐ locked notes
some notes are password protected to ensure they only get seen by the right people. most notes have their own bespoke passwords, but if youโre dying to see, whatโs behind the curtain, iโve got a list of hints to some pages.
