Everything I Know

“If it’s worth caring about, it’s worth writing down.” — Seth Godin

A collection of random notes.

My goal is for this to be my digital garden: a curated collection of information that I find useful and beneficial to refer back to. Maybe this information is useful to others.

I’m a big fan of learning in public. I will almost certainly make mistakes at some point, and I will learn from others when they (hopefully) correct me. In turn, I hope others read the information I’ve gathered here and get something out of it.

Customizations

• Math equation support¹ via remark-math and rehype-katex
• Overriding header IDs to match Obsidian’s auto-complete style (source) Disabled for now since I use Vim for editing this instead of Obsidian. Waiting for GFM-style slugs to be supported
• Smartypants support using @silvenon/remark-smartypants
• Local search using easyops-cn/docusaurus-search-local
• Additional syntax highlighting added to theme configuration
• utm_source added to all external URLs via brechtcs/rehype-urls

Contributing

Feel free to add or amend as you feel is appropriate. While the primary consumer of this is myself so I have my own reference, please don’t let that dissuade you from contributing if you feel like there’s value.

The expectations:

• The code of conduct is simple: don’t be a dick. Treat everyone with respect.
• Submit a PR with proposed changes. Please include why you think I should accept it.
• If you have any potential conflict of interest (such as you being the owner of the site you’re submitting to a list), then divulge this in the PR.

Some notes for “future Brian”:

• Clone the repository
• Run git submodule update --init to grab Obsidian config (if you have access 😉)
• Contribute!
