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

this is one of those moments in next.js app development where i just stare at the docs and sigh

not being able to just plop in a .md file on its own and use it feels kinda crazy to me

another small note: to get this to work properly i had to remove the turbopack option from `next dev` -- not a huge deal here bc/ this change is worth it but would obv like for turbopack to support this in the future too :)

also i didn't have to use the `extensions` option like it says below(maybe bc i'm already using next-mdx-remote ?)
