This website was built using the note-taking software .obsidian, which I use extensively, for academic as well as personal purposes. Through the use of plugins for obsidian, I found out it is posible to publish your own content. For this end, I used Digital Garden, along with GitHub and Vercel.
Writing
As mentioned above, all the content you see right now has been written using Obsidian. As this software uses Markdown language to function, it took some effort to gain some fluency in note-taking. However, with some time, anyone can learn the Obsidian basics to interconnect notes, data and ideas.
Because of the ability to store and connect notes, one can see the process of developing your own Obsidian Vault as building a second brain where a network of knowledge and new ideas is created through the associations between different tasks, goals and concepts. Here is a real visual representation of my collection of notes or Vault since I began using Obsidian:
Publishing
To publish my writings I used a combination of different online platforms. First, used Obsidian Digital Garden, an Obsidian community plugin that allows you to create an Eleventy site, which is published to GitHub and finally published using Vercel.
Do you want to follow this method and publish your own website? Here is a simple tutorial on how to do it. Good luck!
Editing
While digital garden is a great way to publish your obsidian notes, I found that I wanted to give my portfolio a more personal touch and fine-tune the website's appearance to my liking. This I did mostly through the GitHub directory. It is a little bit more technical than the rest of the steps so far and requires some HTML/CSS knowledge, but with the help of ChatGPT it was no problem!
