mkdnflow.nvim VS Hugo

I like logseq for knowledge management and tasks. And since it's all plain markdown files they are easy to quickly open and search in nvim. https://github.com/jakewvincent/mkdnflow.nvim is really nice for this because it can follow the internal links and create new pages.

I've been planning to switch to https://github.com/jakewvincent/mkdnflow.nvim and re-write the function that creates diary pages, and the functions that cycle/navigate to next/prev diary pages, so that they work in subdirs... for example: main wiki is ~/diary and the main diary is in the root of that wiki and I want to be able to flexibly create dated files in any subdir without making that its own wiki so like in ~/diary/subdirxyz/2023-03-17.mkd the nextDay() function (whatever it's called) would look for next dated file only inside subdirxyz.

There are some cool features we've talked about adding to mkdnflow.nvim!!!

https://github.com/jakewvincent/mkdnflow.nvim is a similar plugin to neorg that's closer to vimwiki than to org-mode. Either way, a personal documentation system, and whatever report/scripts/grep to find things easily.

Did you see https://github.com/jakewvincent/mkdnflow.nvim/ mentioned here? I think that's the winner here (though I admit I have bias against even considering zettlekesten/zk merely due to its name: in computing we call that a wiki).

My markdown plugin mkdnflow does this (among other things). If you’re not looking for any functionality except toggling checkboxes, you could take a look at the lists module lists.lua and search for the function toggleToDo() (and those it relies on).

I'm using zk-nvim with markdown lsp, markdown / markdown_inline Treesitter and MKDNFLOW for my notes and tasks. This all works great and I also created this shortcut to archive selected lines to a different file

I use mkdnflow.nvim for taking notes in markdown. It is simple, and you can easily create and follow links.

I use markdown for all of my notes inside of Neovim and have a few custom macros and shortcuts, and heavily use iamcco's [MarkdownPreview](https://github.com/iamcco/markdown-preview.nvim) along with jakewvincent's [MkdnFlow](https://github.com/jakewvincent/mkdnflow.nvim).

Not sure what exactly you mean by editing lists and tables with ease, but my plugin https://github.com/jakewvincent/mkdnflow.nvim might check some of those boxes. What list and table editing features would be must-haves for you?

At one point though I realized there is a scaling problem with my build minutes. I knew that golang has considerably faster builds and in my case the easy fix is swapping over to Hugo.

This blog is running on Hugo. It had previously been running on Jekyll. Both these SSGs ship with the ability to create excerpts from your markdown content in 1 line or thereabouts.

Hugo

Hugo is a popular static site generator specifically designed to create websites and documentation lightning-fast. Its minimalist approach, emphasis on speed, and ease of use have made it popular among developers, technical writers, and anybody looking to construct high-quality websites without the complexity of typical CMS platforms.

As per many other comments, it sounds like a static site generator like Hugo (https://gohugo.io/) or Jekyll (https://jekyllrb.com/), hosted on GitHub Pages (https://pages.github.com/) or GitLab Pages (https://about.gitlab.com/stages-devops-lifecycle/pages/), would be a good match. If you set up GitHub Actions or GitLab CI/CD to do the build and deploy (see e.g. https://gohugo.io/hosting-and-deployment/hosting-on-github/), your normal workflow will simply be to edit markdown and do a git push to make your changes live. There are a number of pre-built themes (e.g. https://themes.gohugo.io/) you can use, and these are realtively straightforward to tweak to your requirements.

Create the technical documentation of your project You can use any of the following options: * A wiki, like the ArchWiki that uses MediaWiki * Read the Docs, used by projects like Setuptools. Check Awesome Read the Docs for more examples. * Create a website * Create a blog, like the documentation of Blowfish, a theme for Hugo.

Doing this made me appreciate existing SSGs like Hugo and Next.js even more👏👏

I suggest hugo: https://gohugo.io/

Generates a completely static website from MD (and other formats) files; also handles themes (including a lot of them rendering well on mobile), and different types of content - posts, articles, etc. - depending on the theme.

It's open source and, being completely static, cheap as fuck to self host.
