Integrate Quartz - Githubissues

cbarkr commented 4 months ago

I really like Obsidian. It has changed the way I take notes and organize my thoughts, and I think it would be nice to recreate that on this site. Quartz brings Obsidian-like UI to the web, which would allow me to organize and share my thoughts in the same way, without needing to reinvent the wheel.

The "words" section is quite terrible, I must admit, and the effort required to make it into something nice doesn't quite seem worth it when options like Quartz are available.

Here's the tricky part though: the styling must be consistent with the rest of the site. The config, however, only mentions two relevant styling points:

typography: "Any font available on Google Fonts works", but this site uses Geist which I quite like and would like to keep. Hopefully there's a way to use local fonts
colors: Here it should be pretty trivial to use the colours used in the rest of the site As for the components themselves, you can create your own, though this might be a bit of a challenge in and of itself

Since the site is deployed via Vercel, it may be possible to serve the main site and "words" as separate projects, but link them by proxy

EDIT: This is better explained here, and a more in-depth (albeit, a bit different) approach is here

Custom fonts can be specified like so: https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz/issues/13

Closing since this has been completed in another repo :)
