digital garden

I currently use quartz for hosting my digital garden!

I decided that the core functionality I want to have is sharing my “evergreen notes” with the world. I care less about all of the integrations and customizations, more about reliability and ease of use.

I went with quartz due to the ease of:

• excluding certain folders (ex. my daily notes & project notes) without having to set a specific “publish” property (didn’t like Obsidian Digital Garden Plugin because of that)
• Syncing updates
  • I created a Raycast Script that will run the sync functions automatically, I just have to type “sync” into Raycast, and voila!

Would love to be able to use something to export my notes with something like obsidian-export, and then publish them in a more custom way than the digital garden plugin or Obsidian Publish.

Requirements:

• Automatically translate links from MD to HTML
• Show Backlinks to current document
• Able to customize what files come through based on folder, ex. all files in root, exclude folder X,Y
• Dataview integration - nice to have
  • Cancels out quartz
  • Though may be able to use dv.markdown or templater
• Automatic

Nice to haves:

• Show local graph

Options

• Digital Garden Plugin
• https://linked-blog-starter.vercel.app/publish-your-obsidian-notes-with-linked-blog-starter - YT
  • I think your notes have to be within /published, however
  • Built with Next, which would be cool to learn
• Quartz
  • https://brandonkboswell.com/blog/Publishing-your-Obsidian-Vault-Online-with-Quartz/
• Gatsby Garden
  • Link - Example
  • YT Walkthrough
• Jekyll
  • Tutorial YT - Link
  • This one will be lower priority, doesn’t look as automated as I’d like.

Execution

• Full vault backup using the “Git” plugin to store in a private github repo
• Partial export of published notes using obsidian-export to then publish with…? - Actually, going to try quartz first
