🧠 Sharpen your thinking with a second brain
Image credit: UnsplashCreate a personal knowledge base and share your knowledge with your peers.
Hugo Blox web framework empowers you with one of the most flexible note-taking capabilities out there.
Create a powerful knowledge base that works on top of a local folder of plain text Markdown files.
Use it as your second brain, either publicly sharing your knowledge with your peers via your website, or via a private GitHub repository and password-protected site just for yourself.
Mindmaps
Hugo Blox supports a Markdown extension for mindmaps.
With this open format, can even edit your mindmaps in other popular tools such as Obsidian.
Simply insert a Markdown code block labelled as markmap and optionally set the height of the mindmap as shown in the example below.
Mindmaps can be created by simply writing the items as a Markdown list within the markmap code block, indenting each item to create as many sub-levels as you need:
```markmap {height="200px"}
- Hugo Modules
- Hugo Blox
- netlify
- netlify-cms
- slides
```
renders as
- Hugo Modules - Hugo Blox - netlify - netlify-cms - slides
Anh here’s a more advanced mindmap with formatting, code blocks, and math:

Callouts
Use callouts (aka asides, hints, or alerts) to draw attention to notes, tips, and warnings.
Use the > [!NOTE] syntax to create a callout.
> [!NOTE]
> A Markdown aside is useful for displaying notices, hints, or definitions to your readers.

Darius Azimi is a highly analytical Physicist with a robust foundation in Theoretical, subatomic, and Plasma Physics. With a career spanning multiple M.Sc. degrees from top Swedish and Iranian institution, I specialize in bridging the gap between complex theoretical frameworks and practical computational applications. My expertise lies in developing high-fidelity simulations—using PIC, Monte Carlo, and Molecular Dynamics—to investigate the linear and non-linear properties of dynamic physical systems. I am a published author in journals such as the International Journal of Modern Physics B, where I have contributed to the understanding of statistical physics, binary hard sphere mixtures, and quantum perturbation theory. By combining rigorous mathematical modeling with advanced software development in C++, Fortran, and Python, I deliver high-quality analytical solutions for complex equations using iterative solvers like GMRES and BICGSTAB. Whether driving academic research or consulting on technical subatomic systems, I am dedicated to pushing the boundaries of applied physics through algorithmic innovation and data-driven insights. Outside of my research, I have enjoyed contributing to the Swedish educational system as a substitute teacher, which has further refined my ability to communicate complex ideas in Swedish.
