Show HN: Meadow Notes – extract and publish microsites from your Markdown graphs

Sometimes I wonder if my life would be better if I d never bumped into Andy Matuschak s ideas. But I did, and basically got one-shotted by his concept of evergreen notes , which are notes that are similar to well-factored code. They re small, conceptual, and densely-linked.They re also really hard to share with people, because those links form a complex graph that goes all over the place. You could share individual notes, but since the notes are small and have a lot of links there s not a lot of utility in sharing single notes. You could share all of them, but who in their right mind would want to share _all_ their notes.I found myself wanting to share little groups of notes with different sets of people reasonably often. None of the existing publishing tools I encountered supported automatic curation where it would suggest a candidate graph that I could then modify. Also, none were geared towards publishing lots of little sites.I ve spent about a year part-time developing the project so far, and in that time I ve probably published about 50 sites. Each time I learned something and improved the tooling. I like it pretty well now, so I m sharing.It s open source, but also has a we host for you option. You can publish 3 sites to the meadow-notes.com site for free, so you can try it out.I d love to know what you think.
