I’ve turned my private, half-assed PKMS into a public, no-assed Digital Garden. Hosted on Neocities.
It’s a Haskell program (written using Hakyll) that builds the website from a bunch of Markdown and JSON files when executed. I have a script to load the Markdown files and (JSON) graph data from my PKMS using PKSPKMS from my personal notes directory. It’s a very long and effortful way to make your own Obsidian Publish alternative.
The design is heavily copying the look of Obsidian since that’s my main editor. I’d like to add more graph traversal features in the future though. Maybe. Possibly.
Here’s what it kinda looks like building the website as a graph:
Features
- Has a graph of the links to and from the note as well as tags
- RSS (kinda, it needs some love and care)
- No email sign ups
Resources
- Network Graphs: Visualizing Relationships and Connections in Research Data
- You can find the Markdown files this website is generated from in this Git repo: GitHub - pskenny/notes
