My Commonplace Site

(For my ClickUp business website, visit The Productive Dad.)

The site's name, Will's Commonplace Space, is inspired by the tradition of keeping a commonplace book.

(Click the link to be taken to my atomic note of what a commonplace book is. You'll see links like this all around the site. Some are published notes and some are not.)

Use the navigation on the left to explore the site. Each page includes backlinks to see what pages mention the page you're on.

All the pages on this site are written in Obsidian and then synced with GitHub. Pretty cool, right!? I followed the instructions here: Digital Garden - Publish Obsidian Notes For Free.

File over app.

Things I still want to do with this site:

• Add a footer
• Migrate old articles to here
• Create atomic notes for all links
• Fix the backlinks title going off the page on mobile
  • Added CSS right: 0px; for the sidebar on mobile
• Get dark mode working.
• Add a favicon. Needs to be an SVG file
• Figure out how to update the font
• Change to the IBM mono font
• Learn to add and size an image
• Figure out how to deploy directly from Obsidian and skip Vercel
  • Deploying to Vercel became easier when I realised you could rename the main branch in GitHub to production. That makes all your changes deploy straight to live.
• Add a menu bar to the top
  • Added a custom navbar to the navbar.njk file. The cool thing is I can update this website how ever I want.
• Link to a published note
