features I would like to add to the template: digital garden obsidian plugin

music player with my techie playlist
-
prettier most recent notes and writings MOC note. see https://hermitage.utsob.me/#on-top-of-my-mind
things to get from wikibonsai:
- I like the visit history navigation and toggling between graph and past visited
- he does a tag map instead of organizing in folders. But it achieves almost the same thing actually.
social
-
look into webmentions to add comments and interactions to my writings.
https://indieweb.org/webmention.io
these use github. ok if my site is only for engineers
self hosted:
RSS feeds is a standard way to subscribe to sites to see when posts are published and updated. kinda like a youtube subscribe button for sites. I guess it is mostly used today to follow personal sites and writes, news... Prob used a lot for blogs (specially when blogs where more prevelent years ago).
