This is a small next application I use to visualize and navigate my note collection. These notes are simply markdown files with optional metadata as a YAML preamble. The app consists of a Next server which scans a watches the notes directory and lets it be explored in a structured way.
ZK_NOTEBOOK_DIR: contains the notes' directory (this is because I also use zk language server).
ZK_NEXT_DEMO: if set to ZK_NEXT_DEMO, will not restrain access to localhost.
Remark is used to parse markdown, both for rendering and to extract metadata. Zod is then used for some validation. An Sqlite database (with Kisely) is used to cache results. Inversify is used for dependency injection.
State management is made with Zustand and Optics-ts.
Due to a bug in fs.watch, the app will crash on file delition. However, this is a fixed issue, so we can just wait for node to update.
