This blog is my collection of evergreen notes, a place to have my thinking accrue. The blog is densely linked, in the forward direction, but jekyll does not create back links. I think back links would be great. Here’s my strategy to create them.

When to compute back links v0

Run a one-off script, similar to how I build search indexes.

Back link computation methodology

Standard how to build a search engine question. Plan: Go through allow list of back link pages (enumerate collections, remove indexes) For each page, build a list of referenced pages, and add them to a map of page to reference. Go through the map, and apply them (title, list of references) to pages.

How to Inject back links into the output content

Inject into source or output Need to inject into source as output is regenerated. It’s a pain as it’s a source edit and that dirties history, but can probably come up with a way to keep that clean - in some kind of auto-generated guards, and make an atomic check-in.
