# JosephNiemchak.com Obsidian Publish Experience JosephNiemchak.com Obsidian Publish Experience is the plan for using Obsidian Publish as Joe's public Mynd and josephniemchak.com as the entry layer. ## Meaning The website should help people create shared meaning with Joe, The Brotherhood, and the work being built. The simplest architecture has two layers: 1. Obsidian Publish is the readable graph of Joe's public Mynd. 2. JosephNiemchak.com is the front door and future interactive layer. The current version is: - `josephniemchak.com` stays on the current Vercel front door - `josephniemchak.com/mynd` becomes the canonical public Mynd path - the front door links to the public Mynd - `josephniemchak.com/feedback` captures public-safe feedback for the Mynd - the public Mynd starts with [[The Brotherhood Team Start Here]] - The Brotherhood path frames Joe's meanings as a starting seed for mission language, not as final wording to memorize - Codex helps Joe keep private material out of public notes This gives Joe a useful public site quickly without making the root domain depend entirely on Obsidian Publish. The underlying Obsidian Publish origin can still exist, but the public digital real estate should point people and agents back to `josephniemchak.com`. The first website experience should be: 1. Land on Joe's public Mynd. 2. Understand that the site is a living map of meaning. 3. Choose an entry path: [[The Brotherhood Team Start Here]], [[Entry Path]], or the core word map. 4. Read one definition. 5. Decide whether you share that meaning. 6. If not, use [[Mynd Feedback Loop]] as the start of a clearer conversation. The future interactive layer can add: - yes/no alignment for each word - a Buddy thinking partner that helps readers understand the starter meaning and compare it with their own - private notes for the reader's meaning - comparison between Joe's meaning and the reader's meaning - a shared meaning score or map for a relationship, team, or community ## Source Of Meaning This note is grounded in [[Obsidian Publish Plan]], [[Language Alignment Game]], [[Shared Meaning Check]], [[The Brotherhood Team Start Here]], the current Vercel-hosted `josephniemchak.com`, and Obsidian's current custom-domain guidance. ## Relationship Over Time This note should now track whether the `josephniemchak.com/mynd` path works well enough as the canonical public Mynd, or whether a future subdomain/front-end graph should replace it. ## Links - [[Obsidian Publish Plan]] - [[Start Here]] - [[The Brotherhood Team Start Here]] - [[The Brotherhood Mission Language Alignment]] - [[Aaron Well-being Ontology One-Pager]] - [[Obsidian Publish V0 Allowlist]] - [[Meaning]] - [[Understanding]] - [[Shared Meaning]] - [[Shared Meaning Check]] - [[Mynd Feedback Loop]] - [[Language Alignment]] - [[Language Alignment Game]] - [[Entry Path]] - [[Well-being]] - [[Health]] - [[Well-being Decision Check]] - [[Private Source Distillation]] ## Tensions The root domain is currently a Vercel site. Moving the root directly to Obsidian Publish would be simple conceptually but risky operationally because it could replace the existing front door. The path-based Mynd keeps all surfaces under one domain, but it depends on the Vercel proxy and Obsidian Publish continuing to behave cleanly together. The site should feel alive and personal without exposing raw private reflection. ## Question Is `josephniemchak.com/mynd` clear enough as the canonical Mynd, or should a custom front-end graph eventually become the primary experience?
