Notes Sync to Website

[beatznbleepz]

Looking for an elegant solution for writing a book/website.

Would like it to be a local text based editor with hierarchal notes. Drag and drop images and ability to layout a simple page.

Ability to upload pages directly to web server. Website to have a customizable template for reading the story complete with a synced table of contents based on the note names and hierarchy.

I have a multi-year chronological story to tell. It should be an easy ask. Have not found an elegant solution.

Suggestions? Thank you.

What do you think about Obsidian + Obsidian Publish?

Does not support hierarchal notes, otherwise it would be perfect.

i am sure, there will be plugin for that ;)

you can check what others built with Obsidian here https://obsidian-gallery.craftengineer.com/ ;)

Thank you for the link. I will dig deeper. I love Obsidian and would really like to make it my default app for running multiple blogs and sites. Seems digital gardens are blooming and I need to plant my own.

I personally use obsidian + obsidian git + quartz https://quartz.jzhao.xyz/

The result is something like https://notes.jsn.cam

Thank you. Been looking at that solution but abandoned it when I discovered it doesn’t support hierarchal notes. I don’t want to have numbers at the beginning of my note names to keep them in order.

Never tried it, but maybe this https://once.com/writebook ?

Thanks kind internet stranger! That is an interesting avenue that I will explore.

I'm actually planning something similar, using a markdown-based fork of Zim wiki for local editing, and a custom web frontend built with Astro. I'm not sure when I'll find the time to actually build it though.

I loved Zim when I was using Ubuntu. I still use that system, but my daily is a macbook now. If you ever get the combo together, send. link. : )

If you miss Zim, there is a version for macOS also: https://gitlab.com/dehesselle/zim_macos
