I write the content for this site using Obsidian. The content is stored as a set of plain Markdown files.
That means these files need to be transformed into HTML in order to be viewable in a browser, along with whatever sprinkling of JS & CSS it takes to make things pretty and interactive.
Obsidian Publish is great, but I’m not sure I want to pay $8 a month when I don’t expect any kind of return on that investment. This is a personal site after all, and I don’t expect to get a huge amount of traffic here.
Here’s what I need:
- Host for free on a service like Vercel or GitHub Pages
- Support Obsidian wiki links (like this one, for example)
- Host images, including SVGs exported from the Excalidraw Obsidian plugin
Some other stuff that would be nice to have: 4. Not require a build step to transform Obsidian MD files 5. Be mountable as a sub-route on another site (i.e. on the root domain rather than a subdomain) 6. Support Excalidraw sketches without having to export them to SVG first
