This repository holds the source code for [Forgetful Notes](https://forgetfulnotes.com)—my digital garden of knowledge. It serves as a platform for my learning and creative endeavours. A space for thinking through, building upon, and coming back to.

It is powered by [Quartz](https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz/) and [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md). You can read the [Documentation](https://quartz.jzhao.xyz/), and join the [Discord Community](https://discord.gg/cRFFHYye7t).

## Background

Forgetful Notes is created using [Quartz](https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz), hosted on [GitHub](https://github.com/), deployed with [GitHub Pages](https://pages.github.com/), and facilitated by the GitHub [Publisher](https://github.com/ObsidianPublisher) plugin for [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/).

The website has gone through many changes. I have not been shy about moving from technology to technology as I learn new things. Coming across the world of _Static Site Generators_ was a game changer. I have ran my notes through [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/), [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/), [MkDocs](https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/), [Zola](https://www.getzola.org/), and most recently [11ty](https://11ty.dev).

## Technology

All content for the site is written in _Markdown_ within [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/)—an extensible, flexible note-taking app. To export the notes from Obsidian, I rely on the [GitHub Publisher](https://github.com/ObsidianPublisher) plugin.

The [source code](https://github.com/semanticdata/forgetful-notes) is hosted in [GitHub](https://github.com/). From here we use [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/features/actions) to build and deploy the site to [GitHub Pages](https://pages.github.com/).
