Cinket
My D&D website for my players / Password: Limitless
In July 2024, I got into being a Dungeon Master for D&D and started creating my world: Cinket. Instead of keeping all of my notes and idea on a Google Document, I decided to use a note-taking application called Obsidian. What made me able to host my first D&D session on August 2024 was being able to upload all of my notes into a working website! All of my players are able to use this website and can reference it when creating their characters or have questions about the world of Cinket. I eventually kept expanding myh Obsidian notes, which inturn expanded my website to essentially be a D&D 5.5e wiki. I've decided to add password authentication for distribution purposes, but currently, the password is: Limitless.

Lessons Learned
Since I am using an Obsidian extension to convert the md files to HTML, it's very limited compared to building a website from Next.js and other React frameworks.
