Finally have my hand-crafted photo gallery the way I want it. No longer must I rely on anyone else’s infrastructure or accidentally poor privacy practices.
Photos start in #IMatch with key wording, pass through #obsidian to link with the rest of my content and end up with a #quartz4 static site looking fine.
Does anyone have recommendations on static site generators, or specifically opinions on https://quartz.jzhao.xyz/ ?
I use Jekyll for my main site but I’m not a big fan of it overall. A lot about it feels opaque to me, and I know next to nothing about Ruby. I’m setting up a new site soon, specifically one which I don’t mind being uglier. (I am shite at CSS and am thinking there will be fewer templates than there are for Jekyll.)
Quartz looks nice because it’s similar to tech that I’ve used in the past but I’m wondering if there’s better alternatives for a JS/TS dev.
Here's an #Obsidian page generated using Dataview plugin, converted into Markdown using Dataview Serialiser plugin and parsed for display using #quartz4

The possibilities are now endless.
So I just found out about #quartz4 and had a look at sites built with it, and was dismayed at it serving up a contentindex.json file with the _entire_ plaintext of the sites for client-side search. There is no way this scales, at the very least it ought to be a binary (BM25?) index… Fine for a couple of hundred pages, perhaps…
@purposeofpomelo I had a useful thought to share with all. The complexity of managing the in-between state of my Quartz site is overwhelming. I can use a graph filtered down to the important folders (notes and maps) to help me find missing connections.
path:Quartz/notes OR path:Quartz/maps
@dalfuss If you want something free and host-it-yourself, several of us here go the #Obsidian + #Quartz4 route. Compose your stuff in Obsidian markdown (which is free) and then use Quartz (which is also free) to transform it into static code for a blog/digital garden. Then just put those files in the document root of your http server in your docker container and you're good to go.
That's what I use to power https://preemchro.me, anyway. :bec_wink:
Things I learned from @mokassino -
Quartz 4
"Quartz is a fast, batteries-included static-site generator that transforms Markdown content into fully functional websites. Thousands of students, developers, and teachers are already using Quartz to publish personal notes, wikis, and digital gardens to the web."
Of particular interest is the seamless support for Obsidian flavored markdown.
