Getting Started

My notes garden is public at /notes/. Set draft: false to publish a note; draft: true keeps it hidden until I’m ready.

Atomic rule

One note = one claim I’d cite in conversation. No ## sections, no “bottom line” - link out to other notes instead. See Atomic Notes.

Create a note

hugo new notes/my-idea.md

Or add a .md file under content/english/notes/. Use the same frontmatter as blog posts (title, meta_title, description, slug, date, image, categories, author, tags, featured, draft).

Link between notes

Use wikilinks in the body:

• Atomic Notes - link by title
• atoms - link with custom label
• atom - works via the aliases frontmatter field

Obsidian-style features on this site:

• Wikilinks — Note Title and alias|label in note bodies
• Aliases — alternate link targets in frontmatter (aliases: ["PARA"] on PARA Method)
• Outgoing links — listed below each note’s body
• Backlinks — with context snippets when another note links here
• Graph — force-directed view with orphan/hub/dead-end filters at /notes/graph/
• See also — tag-related notes generated at build time (not static in markdown)
• Hover previews — pause on a wikilink to peek at the target note
• Maps of Content — hub index at Maps of Content

Explore

• Outgoing links and backlinks (with snippets) show below each note.
• See also suggests tag-related notes you haven’t linked yet.
• Graph at /notes/graph/ maps connections — filter orphans, hubs, and dead ends.

Import from Obsidian

npm run import:obsidian -- /path/to/your/vault --dry-run
npm run import:obsidian -- /path/to/your/vault --force

Converts wikilinks, #tags, and !embeds into Hugo-ready notes. Run npm run lint:notes to catch broken links at build time.

Publish to the blog

When a note is ready for a longer-form post, I distill it into content/english/blog/ with the same frontmatter shape and set draft: false.
