I generate a lot of reports: product research, market scans, project updates, personal planning. They come from different parts of my life, so keeping them organised quickly became a problem.
Markdown was convenient for generating content, but (!) not great for reading it ~ I mean, if you tried to open any multi-page fike with at least one table you know what I mean. Or if you want to add any chart - it will be quite painful experience. And yes, I know about Obsidian, love it, use it everyday, but sorry, sometimes I need more robust representation.
So, I switched everything to HTML and built one shared template that always shows where the report came from, when it was created, and which project it belongs to. Each project also has its own colour, so I can recognise the context before I even read the title.
The reports still live inside their original projects, but a small automation copies the latest versions into one central Reports folder (It’s actually called diffeent).
Before a trip, I download it once and have the same clean library on my phone, tablet, or second laptop. The interesting part is not HTML itself. It is removing the gap between generating useful knowledge and actually reading it. A report that is difficult to find, open, or understand might as well not exist.
