Personal Website#

Building a digital garden using Quartz to share my learning and projects publicly.

Goals#

• Create a space for learning in public
• Experiment with digital garden principles
• Build a sustainable writing practice
• Connect with others interested in similar topics

Tech Stack#

• Quartz - Static site generator
• Obsidian - Note-taking and content creation
• GitHub - Version control and hosting
• TypeScript - Customization and plugins

Features#

• Bi-directional links between notes
• Full-text search
• Tag-based organization
• Dark/light mode
• Graph visualization of note connections

Learnings#

Building this site has taught me:

• The value of writing imperfect, evolving notes
• How interconnected knowledge naturally emerges through linking
• The importance of simple, sustainable systems

Code Example#

Here’s how Quartz handles frontmatter:

interface Frontmatter {
  title: string
  tags?: string[]
  date?: string
  draft?: boolean
}

Next Steps#

• Add more content
• Customize the theme
• Set up automated publishing
• Add analytics

Status: In Progress
