Overall: Messy process
The process has been a little messy for a while, mostly because using multiple note taking apps.
- Notion
- 3 markdown repos in VSC*ode, goosebumps, this blog, and the notes repo from work.
- Bear for markdown on Apple devices. Very lovely sync
- Apple notes for all sorts
- At some point, obsidian too because the homies peer pressured me😂
- This is being written in Github mobile. I’m not at home
Simplified & Current workflow
the workflow at the moment might stick.
For stuff that I know I’m happy having public, I go straight to writing markdown files in the repo. This is to reduce the number of steps it takes to go from thought to publish.
Helper scripts
- I also use scripts to generate new files with all the frontmatter.
- this is easy to do with hugo archetypes, and bash scripts.
Quick Capture
Apple notes is mostly for journaling, meeting notes, and handwritten notes. it’s what I use as my brain dump, or when I don’t have a laptop next to me but need to quickly capture a thought.
Obsidian experiments
I’ve been experimenting with bring it back into my workflow though (the messy bits I mentioned.)
