My current working model (WIP).

1. Write in Markdown. Stay as less markup as possible and tend towards plain text.

2. Organize/Categorized into folders; such as -- parenting, entrepreneurship, startup, homelab, books, etc.

3. Choose a really simple publisher (Jekyll for now). I sprinkle the least front matter in the header of each file. So, I can publish the selected ones online for me, friends, and family.

4. Let Obsidian look over it (it drops just one folder .obsidian), write with it sometimes. I don't want any tool taking over, chewing it and making smart decisions for me.

My focus are those files inside the folders. I should be able to just replace Jekyll or Obsidian in future without losing the integrity of my content.



My favourite thing about obsidian is it made folders redundant. Now my notes structure is more like my thinking structure. Scattered but organised via bi-directional linking and tagging. It's a great way to discover new insights from your own thoughts.
