As I started my A Levels, I decided to take all my notes on Obsidian and sync this to a public Git repository. But why not take it a bit further? So I did, I used a lovely open-source project called Quartz to build a beautiful Hugo based static site.

Then I automated the building everytime I push a change to GitHub and make GitHub Actions spit the web files onto a seperate branch which I sync with my webserver hourly.

Its’s still a work in progress, but I am feeling good about it so far.

    That’s a fun idea. I’d worry the school might get angry at you for releasing your notes, which other students might use, but at the end of the day, does it really matter how a student learns the material? If your notes do a good job at summarizing complex information, it seems like a win for me.

    Thinking about it, it would be very interesting if we had students notes throughout history. We could see what was being taught and what was being understood through the ages.

      Yeah, I’ve noticed Wayback Machine has archived my site a few times, so even if my site went down there would still be a record for anyone interested in the notes of a 2023 student.
