Such a good breakdown of the leerob article, that is hitting everywhere right now. Feels like sanity was just a bit late to getting things right and it would have just worked for them how leerob was trying to use it, but MCP sucked so he jumped.

Reading their loose descriptions of a CMS, its an interesting realization to realize I’m rolling my own cms. I kinda feel like theres a few inspiration features to take from here, but I have no regrets. As a developer I like being able to build my own tools, I like being able to search and edit from nvim, and not have to write GROQ queries, and transforms. There were some really good points here that as I get more and more content on my personal site, I do kinda feel it. I’m surprised there is not more tooling that does some of these things for piles of markdown.

pinning this to re-read later, feels like a lot of good tidbits here.

I’ve been using this one for awhile now, I have a post type that I only edit from my phone, but I have all the post numbered. I set up a template in obsidian for using templater, the template goes right in the static site repo, I point templater to the templates directory and this has been working pretty seamlessly for awhile.

Dang Strong takes against markdown here with a strong push for bespoke content models/structures. This idea is completely foreign and wild to me. I get it that markdown has its issues with flavors, add ons and what not, but overall its mostly transportable, its a skill that works most content sites and writing tools. I am so far on the other side that I seek out tools with markdown as an option and lean away from wsiwyg tools with specialized data formats on the backend.

I’ll end with, I’m also a dev that creates very simplified content and maybe seeing the backend of a site with lots of custom fields would be very eye opening for me.

Intersting markdown presentation tool, Looks very simple. I really like split on --- much better than by h1 or h2. Their theme looks really nice in the screenshots.

Intereresting someone built a blog generator in bash. it comes with normal markdown to html, static content, robots.txt, sitemap, rss, and tags. It uses pandoc to take markdown to html and mustache for page templates.

Wikilinks are a core concept within obsidian to link to documents by Slug wrapped in double square brackets. These are commonly used within wiki site generators.

[[slug]]

Obsidian gives you a keybinding alt+enter to go to that file, but if it does not exist it will create the file for you in the root of the project. It’s a nice way to quickly make new documents.

Obsidian has a go to definition like feature, the keybind is alt+enter, I would have never guessed this one.

It was not obvious to me, but if you have a wikilink such as Trying Obsidian, you can jump to the file in obsidian, just like you can with lsp go to definition, the keybinding is alt + enter.

I’ve long used copier to create all of my posts for my blog, and it works really well for my workflow. I think of a title, call a template, and give it a title. out of the box obsidian did not seem to work this way. It seems like it wants me to right click a file tree and make a new file using the tree, this is not my jam.

Here is what I came up with to replace my til template.

I’m giving obsidian a go as an editor for my blog and one of the main things I want to fix in my workflow is the ability to quickly drop in images. on first look through the community plugins I found Image Converter. I set it up to convert to webp and drop them in a git submodule. I may make it something other than a git repo in the future, but I’ve learned that adding images to my blog repo quickly makes it heavy and hard to clone on other machines.

Once the images are there they are pushed and deployed as their own site to cloudflare pages. I made a quick edit to my Jul 30, 2024
