Priorities for my personal site:

1. I can write and publish directly from Obsidian
2. I can preview the site offline
3. I can switch hosts easily, all the data is in my control

For a personal site I find that CMSes like Wordpress, Squarespace, and Webflow, add too much complexity and liability, while being less customizable. Friction has to be super low, otherwise I won't update it.

Instead learn to use a static site generator. There are many options: Jekyll, Hugo, Quartz, Astro, Eleventy, etc. It's become simple to build and deploy them. Once you have it set up, everything else is a breeze.

Some more detail on how I set up my website are at the bottom of this post: https://stephango.com/vault

making /obsidian • writing stephango.com

> To do this, I break one of my rules listed above — I have a separate vault for my site.

is it possible to do today without the separate vault? would think the appropriate front matter could mark notes for publication

i think i need to give obsidian publish another chance, did not realise i could use themes on it like you have done so

looking to have something similar for my use case
