The source for the original website is in Github https://github.com/dwebyvr/notes

Implemented by Jacky Zhao on February 11th, 2023.

This is a Hugo powered website, built using Quartz and designed to be managed with Obsidian.

From the features of that template, wikilinks -- double square brackets around words -- can be used to easily link between notes, and show backlnks -- which notes link to each other -- in the sidebar.

This site is built and hosted using Github. For every commit, a Github Action runs and builds the HTML version of the site, and then publishes to Github Pages.

The dwebyvr.org domain is hosted on Google Domains.
