mdBook VS obsidian-releases

I have a local site I use as a knowledge base, journal and scratchpad. I recently migrated it from mdBook to Hugo, using the Hextra theme. The result was so good that I started questioning my use of Zola as my primary static site generator.

Nice work. Any plans to somehow integrate into mdbooks (https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/) ?

Or a general web user-interface?

mdBook - Create Books with Markdown in Rust

Biggest downside of this tool is inability to render PDF or ePub[1]. This is why we recently switched to Quarto[2]. Typst is also a good alternative, already mentioned in other comments.

I think a good example is all of the wonderful documentation that's been created with mdBook.

Heck, the Rust book was written with it, and they also made a print edition, so maybe markdown is enough even for that.

You can find out about Obsidian on their site It's free to use and open source

I don't argue that companies are obligated to distributing their products as open source. Not at all. One of my favourite pieces of software, Obsidian is closed source, and I have no objection to that. They as a company need to make a profit, and they are free to chose their own strategy.5

Obsidian Official Website Still an incredible tool for the right type of workflow.

This is a plugin for Obsidian [1] that can extend Obsidian with custom functionality.

There's a demo video in the readme.

Why?

Obsidian is a note taking app with tons of extensions. Even so, there must be hyper-niche use cases that aren't being served by any existing extension. LLMs are decent at coding though, so maybe an LLM can write custom functionality on demand.

That's the experiment, to see if you can customize your notes app simply by asking the LLM.

The obvious caveat is that the plugin is only as good as the LLM driving it. I've been very pleasantly surprised by how capable Sonnet 3.7 is at writing Obsidian code (without examples). However, even so, it is far from perfect.

Is this useful?

It's _interesting_, but I'm not sure yet how useful it is. The AI doesn't always succeed, and the combination of prompt + model will make or break the experience.

I'm looking to get feedback.

Broadly speaking I'd love to see more software that could be customized to meet extremely specific user needs.

These are useful and beneficial for your reputation and branding. I use my email alias for GNOME-related work at [email protected], have my blog at alirezash.gnome.org, and sync my Obsidian notes with Nextcloud on GNOME infrastructure. Unfortunately, I couldn't get my travel sponsorship as a speaker at events because I'm from Iran, and due to OFAC regulations which is so unfair.

It's not marketed as a markdown-to-pdf tool, but I've found that Obsidian (https://obsidian.md) does an excellent job. Just create a new "vault", paste your markdown into a new note, and export to PDF.

Limited Scope: Eleventy is primarily suited for blogs and simple static sites. It lacks advanced interactivity and business logic capabilities. ## Start with a Starter Projects — Eleventy When starting an 11ty project, there are many templates available to help you get started quickly. These templates provide pre-configured setups for various use cases, such as blogs, portfolios, and more. I chose the Official Starter template to begin. Link to the template. After selecting the "Official Starter" template, I followed the instructions to set up my project. This involved installing dependencies, initializing Git, and running a few commands to get everything up and running. ## How to Write Posts? I use Obsidian to write posts and sync them to the content/blog/ directory in my project. Writing in Markdown makes it easy to maintain posts. Here’s how I do it in a few steps: ### Step 1: Write the Post in Obsidian I create a folder in Vault's Obsidian name public will store my posts . Change setting Obsidian a little bit in File and links.

Near the tail end of 2022, I came across what I thought might be the answer to all my woes: a note-taking app built by a small team, with the name of Obsidian.
