in the midst of all the madness that was FarCon last week, I randomly caught up with an old friend who is a legendary designer & he showed me a trick for editing my website’s static content with Obsidian that blew my mind — as well as a side project of his I’m hype to see coming to life

good times!

the trick to editing static website content that blew my mind: use .md files for your content and you have the most beautiful, hot reloading text editor in Obsidian to edit your files

luckily my Next.js site was already using static .mdx files so all I had to do was change the filetypes to .md and open that sub directory in Obsidian

highly recommend this setup

Love this! How are you generating the site? I struggled with actually doing a static site with nextjs (rather than server side)

thanks! here's my repo below, technically generating static params async on each page load but it's all using local data(a json index of all my posts and markdown files for each post)
