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.
