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.

I did something similar during my studies (markdown notes were synchronised in real-time to a dedicated revision blog I created for the subject, organised by year, module, submodule).

Unfortunately it got popular and my institution's legal department contacted me asking to shut it down 😂

Found it funny noticing other students using the blog for revision. Prior to the shutdown it appeared at the top of Google for a lot of searches related to the subject

I'm hoping that I won't have to deal with a legal dispute, but I have noticed some of my notes appearing high up on Google alreasy.

What was their reasoning? It wasn't as if you were writing other students' papers. What's wrong with some notes?
