Dear Engineer Ango,
I am Sunghyun Cho, a computer science student based in Los Angeles. I recently came across your article on Photoshop for Text and was deeply inspired by it. I am also heavily interested in Tools for Thought and Digital Brains and would like to keep in touch. I also have a Memex or, in my term, Extracranial at https://cho.sh.
You also have your page there!
If you are wondering, yes, I use Obsidian for my Memex, but I have built a custom React application for presenting on the web instead of Obsidian Publish. You are located here :)
I hope we can keep in touch!
Best Regards,
Sunghyun Cho

- Got a positive response, asking out if it is open-sourced.

Dear Engineer Ango,
Thank you for your feedback!
My website is already open-source here: https://github.com/anaclumos/extracranial.
I have some personal Python scripts that convert Obsidian MD files to Docusaurus MD files since they have slightly different specs.
Namely, Docusaurus does not support wikilinks and image-wikilinks.
It also lacks any backlinking support and graph visualization.
I've been contributing to Docusaurus & talking with Docusaurus core devs, and these features will not come soon because it involves a pretty significant revamp or underlying link management system. https://github.com/anaclumos/extracranial/tree/main/tools
Also, I wanted to ask, is your website also open-source? I wasn't able to find any relevant repositories.
Best Regards,
Sunghyun Cho
