spectaql VS obsidian-releases

I've also used spectaql before to auto generate graphql docs.

Other than that, SpectaQL is also a good tool that is well maintained.

Hi All, Wanted to share that we officially released v1.0 of SpectaQL

It gets downloaded thousands of times per week on NPM

Last year, Anvil introduced SpectaQL to the opensource community, and it's been a big success. We've seen thousands of weekly downloads and a healthy amount of user support and interest via GitHub.

A while back we introduced SpectaQL to the open source community and it's been a big success. It gets thousands of weekly downloads, has a healthy amount of user support and interest via github, and has had a number of articles written about it like this one and this one. Our goal for SpectaQL has always been to be the de-facto go-to library to use for auto-generating static HTML documentation for any GraphQL API. A very important feature of SpectaQL is its ability to "hide" any parts of your API that you don't want to expose in your documentation. This sounds like a simple task, but in practice it's actually a bit tricky. In order to make interacting and manipulating a GraphQL schema easy, we developed a tool designed specifically for this purpose. Eventually we realized that while this tool was super integral to SpectaQL, it would also be useful for other applications so we decided to break it out into its own library and open source it! In this post, I'll introduce Microfiber and give an overview of its most interesting features and capabilities.

For this, we'll be using a library called SpectaQL, which is based on the popular library Spectacle that works with Open API and Swagger specifications. SpectaQL can be installed globally on your machine from npm:

GraphQL is a popular and powerful way to build your APIs and power your website; we use it for most of our APIs at Anvil. One of the best things about GraphQL is that it provides an Introspection Query capability which allows users to explore and learn about what's possible in a given API. In that way, GraphQL is "self-documenting". Some great tools like Playground and Anvil's own SpectaQL leverage the Introspection Query.

I haven't tried it myself, but I recently heard about SpectaQL and it seems worth a look.

The closest editor that follows our first principle is Obsidian editor:

The solution was already installed on both my computer and my phone: Obsidian.

> why does open source need to "win"

Open source does not need to win.

But your ability to be in control of your computer needs to be preserved. A proprietary fridge cannot control your diet, while a proprietary App Store can control what software you install on YOUR phone (unless you live in EU, hello DMA!). The tail wags the dog, so to speak. Proprietary software has also been shown to break user workflows or remove functions in an update while leaving users with no choice whatsoever.

One alternative to having open source win is to ensure software must come with a robust warranty and other assurances you expect from the things you buy. EU's CRA will make software vulnerabilities in WiFi routers covered by warranty, for example.

You can also ensure robust and interoperable data storage options. For example, https://obsidian.md/ stores all notes in Markdown, not holding the data hostage in case users will not like how future versions will work. GDPR actually has a provision for data portability (Art. 20), but it does not seem to have a requisite effect on the industry yet.

And until the above issues are solved, open source remains the best way to ensure that a software tail cannot wag your computer dog.

So I've had my fair share of personal websites and blogs. I have built them on stacks ranging from the most basic HTML and CSS, to hosted frameworks like Wordpress and Laravel, to the more modern single page applications built in Vue and React. For a simple content blog I think you can't go wrong with a Static Site Generator though. These days I am almost exclusively writing everything in Obsidian. Which is great because its all in standard markdown format. This allows for a really neat and easy content publishing workflow.

Consider making an Obsidian[^1] plugin, or writing to Obsidian-compatible Markdown files :)

Obsidian is a writing application created to allow for offline / private note taking in markdown format, in an interface that looks a lot like our regular programming IDE. It is very flexible, with a good collection of community plugins that you can use to customize Obsidian to your heart contents.
