digital-gardeners VS obsidian-export

Digital Gardens are freeform, public collections of ever-evolving personal knowledge, comparable to an "open" PKM system. Maggie Appleton is my go to thinker about them: She's written about them here and here.

some ideas which came into my mind: 1. You can always ask your question in this subreddit. 2. Bob Doto's Zettelkasten class I now open, if you want to learn about the process of taking notes: https://bobdoto.computer/zettelkasten-class (a Digital Garden is a public Zettelkasten in my opnion) 3. Maggie Appleton's github is very helpful for learning about Digital Gardening: https://github.com/MaggieAppleton/digital-gardeners

Well, as a fellow nerd with too much time and little qualifications, I offer you my compliments and encouragement! And if you'd ever find the time and the will to return to the website idea, I suggest you look into the concept of digital gardens, which are sort of anti-blogs (non-chronological, incomplete by design, encourage thinking aloud).

The website's theme and philosophy is around digital garden. I've been trying to build one myself and I found this list as a source of inspiration: https://github.com/MaggieAppleton/digital-gardeners#digital-...

If you want a comprehensive summary of digital gardening, you can't go wrong with Maggie Appleton's A Brief History & Ethos of the Digital Garden or her repo of resources.

Permanence is my concern with the indie blog hosting services mentioned here (bearblog, prose.sh, nicheless.blog)

Also, because you already have a lot of the content, maybe you don't need a blog? what about a "digital garden" ?

Tools (easy options included) -> https://github.com/MaggieAppleton/digital-gardeners

If you have your content in a note-taking app like obsidian, there is even simple tutorials on how to freely publish it with all those precious "multiple tags per category", all in one go.

and here is a general collection of dope blog additions: https://brainbaking.com/post/2022/04/cool-things-people-do-w...

My overall advice is unless you're a designer flexing your skills is to focus less on the design and more on the actual writing! The internet is littered with the emaciated husks of nice good looking sites hosting nary an entry beyond "How I Made My New Blog With X"

There’s a term digital garden and personal wiki that might help you find this kind of thing.

Here’s a curated list: https://github.com/MaggieAppleton/digital-gardeners

Includes resources on how to start your own.

Found: https://github.com/zoni/obsidian-export but hope this can be part of a single solution.

I use this obsidian-export CLI program to convert prior to pushing to my repo and it's been working pretty well. This gives me a read-only version of my notes that is accessible from devices I don't have obsidian on (work laptop, for example).

If you limit your use of third party plugins, you can always use https://github.com/zoni/obsidian-export for this as well. I originally built it for exactly this use case (but now also use it as a crucial step in my pipeline to publish content to my own website)

It came from here! https://github.com/zoni/obsidian-export

Worth noting I maintain a project which does exactly this: https://github.com/zoni/obsidian-export

I have similar folders to [Oudwin](https://www.reddit.com/user/Oudwin/)... - dm - _inbox - assets - checklist - communications - research-reference - elements - sessions Additionally, I have had reasonable success using [obsidian-export](https://github.com/zoni/obsidian-export) to export my Obsidian vault to CommonMark. From there you have more options. I then build html pages using [mdbook](https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/) to control the information that is revealed to players. I am playing with using [MkDocs](https://www.mkdocs.org/) to see if it offers more control/flexibility. Regardless, the /elements folder contains all the lore chunks of the world including information I keep on the PCs. The /communications and /sessions folders can contain info with links to /elements that are revealed as needed. I make heavy use of transclusion ![[CoolThingFormAnotherFolder]] to keep it a bit more elegant and some custom styles are needed to make it how it look how I wish.

I have had reasonable success using obsidian-export to export a vault to CommonMark. From there you have more options. I am using it for world-building in D&D and I then build html pages using mdbook to control the information that is revealed to players.

Shameless plug: obsidian-export. It will convert [[WikiLinks]] and ![[Embeds]] to plain Markdown (among a few other things) so you'll always have a way to go back if Obsidian doesn't work out the way you hoped.

So really you can't get what you want at all. You could try an external tool like this to export your notes to commonmark which is more widely supported. Ultimately if you are changing the path to files outside of obsidian (meaning they won't be automatically updated) you will break links. So maybe your best bet is to use wikilinks + an export tool.
