Compilation: Static-site generator for publish alternative

Share & showcase
1

Hello everyone!

I searched a bit on the forum and noticed we don’t have a post that compiles all website publishing alternatives to Obsidian Publish.

I think this kind of post would be useful because there are many solutions for static site generators for Obsidian, but too few are well-known.

:important: I will only compile websites, not plugins to publish a note or an entire website.

I’d like to use the following template to share websites:

- **Title**: Project Title
- **Link**: Project Link (repository if any)
- **Documentation**: (Link if any)
- **Description**:
- **Author(s)**: forum mention
- **Features**:
 - [ ] Callouts
 - [ ] Preview on hover
 - [ ] LaTeX
 - [ ] Theme customization
 - .......
- **Technology**: Python / Node / React....
- **Notes**:

For support, you can also link to plugins/packages if the website supports them (e.g., mkdocs callout).

Please keep this thread clean and don’t use it for advertisements. Don’t post about updates to your project; instead, edit your original post to add updates if they change the core of the project (e.g., adding more support).

Material for MKDocs via GitHub.io works perfectly well and is free. The trick is that you have to set up the website, and then use the Enveloppe plugin to push the page content. Then Github Actions will publish your pages. If you don’t manually set up a menu, it will handle new content directly.

Hello !
I didn’t wanted to mention enveloppe because it’s my own work, and didn’t want to advertise it ^^'.
Did you use the archived mkdocs template or a custom one ?

I switch to quartz because:

  • Wikilinks plugin are not great / difficult to maintain
  • No usable graph view
  • Python is slow.
  • No page preview on Hover (but squidfunk work on it)

But i really loved the template. Material mkdocs is really a great works, and i continue to use for my Roleplay wiki.

i’ve been putting off trying it and was looking for an excuse to ask you somewhere:

  • does it support link transclusions (embeds)
  • commenting out stuff with %% (do users need to take care of this using own regex maybe?)
  • themes and custom css
  • mermaid, plantuml

thanks in advance

First off, the plugin is lovely. It’s the first one I could get along with.

The Material for MK template was just what was there… I had been using it for years before finding your plugin and then being able to marry together Obsidian and Github. I tried doing full sync, and it didn’t work well. Thus, your plugin that allows single page content updates was exactly the fix I needed.

I’ll take a look at Quartz. Thank you!
