Working Notes: a commonplace notebook for recording & exploring ideas.

The meta-worklog for building out this site.
Moved the website to cloudflare pages today, and setup some private pages that I can access easily as well -- that's a feature I've wanted for some time -- so I can have some private notes accessible anywhere. This was fairly approachable thanks to ChatGPT and the extensive cloudflare documentation.
Another experiment is to try and use Obsidian: the vim bindings make it much more approachable and extremely compatible with my existing Markdown structure; given I'm on Windows I had to set up a repo clone explicitly outside of WSL2.
So far, I've been publishing ad-hoc with a bash script sitting in a second repository. I'm finally bringing everything together to mirror my previous websites, and trying to aggressively apply AI agents to build and maintain this edition of my public notebook.
Generally looking for something that is easy to maintain and work with, easily searchable online for personal use, and I can use over the next several decades.
One convention/decision I've been struggling with
folder/folder.md vs folder/index.md vs having folder.md and folder/ as siblings to make index pages.folder.md first, and then folder/index.md both mapping to folder to start.The other convention is around having separate files per date; without transclusion I think it makes more sense to have these inline in the actual documents, I can generate journal pages using some scripts: but having the root pages have the contents split by date by default makes the most sense to me.
Setting up for the new year
General plans:
(These are mainly as a reminder to myself, while I'm feeling particularly motivated.)
