Netlify Hosting

2022-08-01 - FYI to anyone checking out my Github, I had a lot of trouble as a designer / very non-pro developer. I spent the weekend trying to understand how to get this site to run locally on my M1 mac. I ended up using RVM to manage a pre-Ruby 3.0 version due to what I assume were some gems that weren't able to run on newer versions (listen-3.2.1 stated it was incompatible with ruby 3.0.0p0). I didn't have luck getting Ruby 2.2.7 to work (noted in the Gemlock file), so I landed on a slightly newer version of Ruby 2.6.6 hoping the gems would work with it. Then I got Bundler:2.1.4 installed, had trouble with eventmachine and http_parser.rb and ffi gems but somehow forced them through. I got Jekyll 4.0 installed. Then to make Ruby 2.6.6 load on my M1, I used a method that I don't understand but read here on Github Issues RUBY_CFLAGS=-DUSE_FFI_CLOSURE_ALLOC rbenv install 2.6.6. I finally got Bundle Install to finish and then ran into a TypeError with ffi. Looking around I learned adding exclude: [vendor] to _config.yml would help to skip or handle an Invalid Date issue when running jekyll serve command. Anyway, no idea if any of that makes sense, but this was hard to get running locally for me and for now, it appears to be running!

Update !

Hi everyone ! I've been very busy lately, so I didn't check all of the issues and the PR, but as I have more free time now I'll restart working on the project. Thanks for all the kind messages by the way!

What is this?

A digital garden using a custom version of simply-jekyll, optimised for integration with Obsidian. It is more oriented on note-taking and aims to help you build a nice knowledge base that can scale with time.

Demo is here: notenote.link

If you want to see a more refined example, you can check my notes (in french) at arboretum.link. Build time is approx. 15 seconds, FYI.

Issues are welcome, including feedback ! Don't hesitate to ask if you can't find a solution. 💫

What is different?

• Markdown is fully-compatible with Obsidian (including Latex delimiters!)
• There are now only notes (no blog posts).
• There are cosmetic changes (ADHD-friendly code highlighting, larger font, larger page)
• Code is now correctly indented
• Wikilinks, but also alt-text wikilinks (with transclusion!) are usable.

How do I use this?

You can click on this link and let the deploy-to-netlify-for-free-script do the rest !

Follow the How to setup this site guide, written by raghuveerdotnet and then adapted for this fork.

If you want to use it with Github Pages, it is possible, please read this.

How do I customize this for my needs?

Things to modify to make it yours:

• Meta content in _layouts/post.html:

  <meta content="My linked notebook" property="og:site_name"/>

• The favicon and profile are here: assets/img/
• The main stuff is in _config.yml:

  title: notenotelink.netlify.com
  name: notenote.link
  user_description: My linked notebook
  
  notes_url: "https://notenotelink.netlify.com/"
  profile_pic: /assets/img/profile.png
  favicon: /assets/img/favicon.png
  copyright_name: MIT
  
  baseurl: "/" # the subpath of your site, e.g. /blog
  url: "https://notenotelink.netlify.com/" # the base hostname & protocol for your site, e.g. http://example.com
  encoding: utf-8

• You may want to change the copyright in _includes/footer.html:

  <p id="copyright-notice">Licence MIT</p>

How do I remove the "seasons" feature for the notes?

Delete what's inside _includes/feed.html and replace it with:

{%- if page.permalink == "/" -%}
    {%- for item in site.notes -%}
        <div class="feed-title-excerpt-block disable-select" data-url="{{site.url}}{{item.url}}">
            <a href="{{ item.url }}" style="text-decoration: none; color: #555555;">
            {%- if item.status == "Ongoing" or item.status == "ongoing" -%}
                <ul style="padding-left: 20px; margin-top: 20px;" class="tags">
                    <li style="padding: 0 5px; border-radius: 10px;" class="tag"><b>Status: </b>{{item.status | capitalize }}</li>
                </ul>
                <p style="margin-top: 0px;" class="feed-title">{{ item.title }}</p>
            {%- else -%}
                <p class="feed-title">{{ item.title }}</p>
            {%- endif -%}
                <p class="feed-excerpt">{{ item.content | strip_html | strip | escape | truncate: 200}}</p>
            </a>
        </div>
    {%- endfor -%}
{%- endif -%}

On command-line, you can run bundle exec jekyll serve then go to localhost:4000 to check the result.

What's coming?

• Open-transclude integration in the template, if possible.
• Different themes! - Please tell me which you'd like to have!
