I made a browser extension that automatically applies themes on websites generated with mdBook.
I personally had the frustration that websites generated with [mdBook](https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook) always displayed me the "Navy" theme. But I prefer the "Ayu" theme, therefore I always set the theme to "Ayu". But doing things per hand is not the way we do stuff around here, so I decided to write a small browser extension that applies the themes for me.

Are books underrated as a source for learning?
It's mdBook which is made in Rust and popular with Rust content https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/
- Self-hosted/opensource Help Center / CMS?

mdbook PDF generator with (optionally) no dependencies
I made a PDF generator for mdbook called mdbook-compress.

How to improve documentation / technical writing skills?
This makes me think, maybe I'll start using mdBook. I find it really comfortable to read and it's probably not too complicated to use.

Anyone use Git for writing projects?
I sync Obsidian with Git and use pandoc for book / ebook generation (or Foam with Visual Code might work too).
Scrivener can synchronise with Git too - albeit indirectly (it sync's with a folder & I use a simple script to keep it up to date)
If you need to organise research you can sync Wiki.js with Git.
However, Gitbook or mdBook might be easier to use for a single book project.

Name a program that doesn't get enough love!
+1 for Pandoc. I'll also add mdBook as an alternate for markdown to web version of ebooks (especially for search and themes).

What’s the prettiest yet most lightweight self-hosted wiki service out there?
I also don't mind using a Markdown editor + static site generator like mdBook - BookStack is where I'd have gone if I wanted something else

All credit goes to the mdbook people for this! I'm using it to turn Markdown text into HTML, complete with interactive playgrounds and all :-)
