obsidian-github-publisher VS mkdocs-material

Obsidian GitHub Publisher (the plugin)

400€ per year on a personal blog? To each their own, I guess.

I host my blogs on GH pages or Netlify. Additionally, I dump the notes I want to share with the world on GH pages as well with the excellent Obsidian Github Publisher [0] Plugin. I don't really care about analytics for a personal blog though.

Works for me, and costs nothing.

MkDocs with Obsidian Mkdocs? https://obsidian-publisher.netlify.app

Love it! I've played with hugo blogging 6 years ago and liked it, but hated picking a template and didn't want to learn go to figure out how to customize things. I saw a different MkDocs obsidian plugin: https://obsidian-publisher.netlify.app/

Here is the documentation page of the plugin, which also serves as a demo of a published vault using this plugin https://obsidian-publisher.netlify.app

This plugin will handle all of this for you: https://github.com/ObsidianPublisher/obsidian-github-publisher

Material Mk-Docs by Martin Donath works well if you prefer python.

I'm an 'outsider', but from from the outside the Material For MkDocs Project looks like a very well managed open source project.

Martin Donath's project uses a 'sponsorware' release strategy to generate donations.

From my vantage point it seems to be working pretty well.

I just recently went through this decision process. My aim is to write code and math oriented posts so I need good support for nice syntax highlighting (at least colored) and mathjax (preferable) or katex. Substack is the most popular newsletter platform but fails at these two criteria. I love how math and syntax highlighting (plus numerous other features) work in MkDocs Material, which recently added a Blog plugin.

I wanted to combine the best of both: Substack as an amazing email social network, and MkDocs Material’s awesome look. So I’ve gone with using Substack as the core platform which I use to manage subscribers, and use it to post either math/code-free posts or a short teasers pointing to my main blog site on MkDocs Material when I need to show math/code

I've been migrating content to MKDocs (Material) over the last few months, so feel fairly qualified on this subject. It's somewhat limited in terms of navigation, but can probably handle 400-500 pages; you can see how navigation works in the link. Otherwise, it can handle most, if not all, the tasks you've listed.
