how to write a note

1. frontmatter structure

every note must include frontmatter at the top:

---
title: "your note title"
description: "optional 1-sentence hook or summary"
date: "2026-09-26"
tags: ["jee", "thoughts"]
published: true
---

write your raw content here.

2. publishing rule

• published: true: the note will be built, rendered, and indexed on h4rman.com/notes.
• published: false (or omitted): the note stays a private draft in your vault. it will never be built or shown on the website.

3. using the template

a starter template is located at template.md (and templates/note-template.md). in obsidian, configure core plugin templates to point to the templates directory, or just copy template.md.
