This is not really what it’s for, but I’ve been having fun building an interconnected personal website using Obsidian.
These are personal notes that anyone can read. So, for example, you can read my thoughts on the software development process, and also religion and nationality. Yes, it’s super-idiosyncratic, and it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. But it’s been a long time since I’ve had any kind of homepage that isn’t a blog (my personal text adventure aside), and this is a nice way to go about it. Obsidian makes it really easy.
Behind the scenes it’s just a set of markdown files, so if I decide to stop using Obsidian or change the way I host the site, I can do that without fear of losing any data. But I’m happy to be using Obsidian Publish and Sync and to be supporting the project.
Also, Werd Cloud is a fun name, and I’m excited I got the domain.
Let me know what you think!
