quartz VS Hexo

Quartz! https://quartz.jzhao.xyz/

Beautiful, performant, native support for editing via Obsidian. I use it for my personal side, https://thestu.art

I know this sort of undermines this post, but just incase anyone is actually in search of a good markdown to wiki generator, use Quartz. (https://quartz.jzhao.xyz)

It's basically Obsidian Publish but free.

Check out https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz ! I found it recently and customized it a bit to redo my personal website (https://studium.dev don't mind the header on mobile, I need to fix that still). I plan to transfer my Logseq notes to it eventually but you could just as easily do the same for any markdown based notes

Looks cool! How does it compare to something like quartz?

I use Quartz* for my personal site, and just edit it directly in Obsidian. One push to GitHub and it's deployed, with very little effort. It's like Obsidian Publish, but much more customizable.

Before this, I felt the same as the linked post - there was too much friction for me to ever publish anything.

There are a few options for this already. A good one just came out a few days ago called Quartz: https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz

A lot of great suggestions here and some stuff I’ve never heard of before!

Throwing my own suggestion into the ring, as I was just looking into this last week.

I started setting up a blog using Hexo. It’s another Node based SSG that uses markdown and supports tags. It has a lot of neat plugins that people have developed, too.

I like it so far!

In my case, the latter is not possible because this blog is a static site, generated via Hexo and hosted on GitHub. It simply lacks a modifiable active server component.

Hexo — best lightweight SSG

Previously I've used Nuxt2 and even sooner - hexo.io

To make their creation easier, numerous open-source static websites generators are available: Jekyll, Hugo, Gatsby, Hexo, etc. Most of the time, the content is managed through static (ideally Markdown) files or a Content API. Then, the generator requests the content, injects it in templates defined by the developer and generates a bunch of HTML files.

Hexo's

I'm currently using Hexo, I write articles in markdown, commit them to a git repository and push them to Github. I then have a Github Action to bundle the static website and publish it on Github Pages, so I get free hosting 👌

There are also many alternatives for selecting Static-Side Generating blog framework such as Hexo, Gatsby, Next.js (more details here). We will pick Hexo as our framework because it is a fast, simple & powerful blog framework.

Some alternatives I'm considering learning instead of Gatsby are Jeckyll or Hexo.
