Second Brain Public

Overview

My Public Second Brain is an innovative approach to managing personal knowledge and notes, leveraging the capabilities of a forked Quartz repository with Hugo. By integrating additional features such as automatic tagging and metadata handling, it provides users a seamless way to transition notes from a private environment (like Obsidian) to a public platform. This system not only optimizes note sharing but also ensures that key components, such as backlinks and graph creation, function properly for an enhanced experience.

The project stands out due to its customization and the ability to harness existing tools while addressing their limitations. With contributions from the community, including a small Go program, users can now enjoy enhanced performance and reliability within their public second brain setup.

Features

• Automatic Tagging: Utilizing the #publish tag, notes can be automatically copied from your private second brain in Obsidian, simplifying the sharing process.

• Frontmatter Conversion: The tool converts the first header of each note into frontmatter, streamlining the metadata process and enhancing note organization.

• Backlink and Graph Creation: Enhanced functionalities for generating backlinks and visual graphs help users maintain connections between notes efficiently.

• Script Utilities: Includes Python scripts located in the utils directory, allowing for easy handling of note migration and management.

• Renamed Files Management: The tool uses configured redirects of renamed files to ensure links remain intact and functional after modifications.

• Community-Driven Fixes: By forking the original Hugo-Obsidian program, significant bugs have been resolved, thus improving overall user experience and performance.

• Robust Configuration: Intuitive configuration options via .htaccess offer users control over their site’s structure and redirect rules.
