MkDocs Publisher as an alternative for official Obsidian publish.
For last few months, I was developing a set of plugins for MkDocs, that allows you to use GitHub Pages or GitLab Pages as a cheaper alternative to official Obsidian publish. Story behind this tool started quite long time a go, when I was using Nikola (static site tool for blogging) and Obsidian as a post editor. When Nikola stopped working for me on Apple Silicon (due to some problems with one of Python library) I started to look for a new tool. I couldn't find anything good enough and just started to work on my own plugin. From the first idea to current implementation, I build 5 plugins packed as a single Python library. As for Obsidian part, project currently supports:

Site-wide Protest, Introducing leagueoflinux.org, and Poll for What to do Next with r/leagueoflinux
The site is built using MkDocs and themed with MkDocs-Material. Being markdown-based, porting over the webpages from the subreddit wiki was fairly painless, and on some pages I've already been able to extend their capabilities with in-line images, buttons and more modern special formatting tools.

Ask HN: What is the best product documentation you’ve ever seen?
Visual Studio App Center has excellent documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/appcenter/distribution/cod.... It's comprehensive and well structured.
If you're looking for a system that looks as good, mkdocs (https://www.mkdocs.org/) with the mkdocs-material theme (https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/) can get you quite close!

Knowledge base system choice
I would also look at https://www.mkdocs.org for organising documentation esp if you are used to 'readthedocs' manuals.

Show HN: ExaequOS, a new OS running in a web browser
Very cool! It's always refreshing to see the "OS in the browser" projects that try and actually make something functional. I've been working on one myself for nearly 3 years now, called daedalOS (https://github.com/DustinBrett/daedalOS).
The WASM kernel idea is very cool and I hope one day to be able to add something similar to my project. I think you are onto something and I am excited to see your progress as you implement the GUI.

Os.js – open-source JavaScript web desktop platform with a window manager
If you want some Browserception, my desktop environment (https://dustinbrett.com/) can indeed do this. But after a few levels in Chromium you need to add a random query string (/?a=1) to the URL otherwise it stops working.

Orb is a free and open source web desktop
I love seeing more web desktops as I think it's an amazingly fun side project. It's interesting to me seeing how far people will go with these. I've been working on mine for several years now. Also open source if anyone is interested in checking it out.
