yeah sync is great, I use it for my main vault. I had to make my site a separate vault to get this going - if you ever dig in lemme know I can share some hard-earned content submodule tips

I agree that's a shortcoming - I use page bundles too so it's index. :(

it's great, and then you can do things like a Dataview query of your posts, or set up a hotkey to commit & push the content submodule

Live-editing a website in Obsidian is a true joy, this is my setup with Hugo bsky.app/profile/step...

a quick demo of how I edit my website with Obsidian 1.8

write in @obsidian.md → auto-build jekyll → preview local site in web viewer tab → push to github → auto-deploy to live site

I've been making websites for twenty five years, and this is by far the nicest it's ever been

I admire the way @kottke.org styles links and how @simonwillison.net does quotes, so I took similar approaches–thanks to both of them for the inspiration

I post lots of links & attributions, I use my own amateur photos over AI-generated or stock, and I try my best to express simple ideas in as few words as possible. Not everything is an essay

This blog is an ongoing note to myself about joy over productivity. My new life hack!

Been writing it for awhile, on the front page now you'll find
- how a productivity mindset kills creativity
- my 10 days of silence
- KPop Demon Hunters

And my favorite nonprofits doing good.

So it’s a variety
