quartz VS Lektor

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

Guess I'm one of the annoying users who complained when armin's Lektor (https://github.com/lektor/lektor) started going dormant back when, but I loved it for a while. I'm on Astro now, but a big thanks for helping a younger version for me.

Lektor is a modern and flexible static content management system that utilizes Python as its core language. It comes with an intuitive web-based admin interface, making it easy for content creators to manage and update the site. Lektor supports a variety of content types and has an active community that contributes to its continuous improvement.

Lektor CMS is sort of a prototype-ish thing doing this: https://www.getlektor.com/

It has (used to have? Can't find them on the site now) pre-packaged binaries that you would drop into a folder structure generated by the technically-minded person, and the content editor can simply click on that binary, which opens the backend of the CMS in the web browser, make changes and click deploy.

There have been several Flask-based CMS's but I don't remember most of them. IIRC Lektor is based on Flask.

Static hosting could be enough for many sites and one could combine the technical and UX advantages of your dynamic interface with the advantages of static sites for security and distribution.

I found that useful when i worked with https://www.getlektor.com/ years ago. In lektor the dynamic part runs on a users desktop machine, but it of course wouldn't need to.

Lektor is Python based and Just Works, but it is far off the beaten track… https://www.getlektor.com/
