  • mostly-adequate-guide

    Mostly adequate guide to FP (in javascript)

    • This project might serve as inspiration: https://github.com/MostlyAdequate/mostly-adequate-guide

  • gitbook

    The open source frontend for GitBook doc sites

    • I sync Obsidian with Git and use pandoc for book / ebook generation (or Foam with Visual Code might work too).

    Scrivener can synchronise with Git too - albeit indirectly (it sync's with a folder & I use a simple script to keep it up to date)

    If you need to organise research you can sync Wiki.js with Git.

    However, Gitbook or mdBook might be easier to use for a single book project.
