[FR] Publish state based on frontmatter

[Mara-Li]

Hello! I was working on YAFPA, a python script to convert page with Jekyll.

My script support admonition (in sort of), wikilinks and mainly use a state in the frontmatter : it convert and publish only page with share: true.

It will be cool to have a similar things here.

(I don't really like my website in YAFPA, and don't know how can I improve the navigation as you do)

Also, do you support wikilinks? Admonition?

Hi! First of all, your project is wayyyy better and practical than mine (apart from its gigantic name😛). Kudos for that 😊.

Now, coming to your queries one by one...

• Yes! my project supports wikilinks. But there's a big caveat. As of now, [[directory/some_page.md]] is not supported. But if you have a single directory for all of your obsidian notes, then wikilinks works fine *.

• Now, as per the last published build, admonition isn't supported for my project. But I think that MD-admonition can easily be converted into HTML-accordion after a few tweaks in my script. 😬

• Coming to your last query, and as @pablion already suggested in #4 I have a plan to introduce something like .gitignore, that will eventually give its user some sort of flexibility while publishing their webpages.

If you don't mind, I want to suggest something about your website. the font size in your homepage is slightly on the bigger side [I think it's around 30pxish] and is not going well with the smaller icons (e.g., collection, articles, etc.). If possible, use font-size, same or lesser than your main heading (i.e., Owlly House). I think it will look better. 😬😬

Last, but not least, I want to end with some (harsh) truth. Being a Maths student, I have to rely heavily on pen and paper, rather than using obsidian while taking notes. Now, I have tried both Latex (Slow and monotonous) and Excalidraw (Awesome but with some limitations) with obsidian for taking digital notes; but sadly it turns out to be ineffective and time-consuming for me. So, gradually I have lost the urge to create or update something (also, I am a huge procrastinator) for some apps, which I rarely use nowadays 😔

Anyway, thank you so much for your suggestions, especially for pointing out admonition🤗. I will keep that in my mind while working on the next update.😇

Bonne soirée. (Thanks to duolingo 😅)

hi @Mara-Li. Your name rang a bell to me because I checked Mara-Li/yet-another-free-publish-alternative and I didn't use it.

I'm now hosting with another workflow and it works quite well (check how).

Also I would suggest @yoursamlan to concentrate more on the d3js graphs instead of repeating the work done by zoni/obsidian-export (also I used pubsidian instead of YAPFA, despite of YAPFA having a very detailed dev log on obsidian forum)

Wow! A big work here. I would prefer, tbh, use a frontmatter than a external file to exclude file, because I think it's more "smooth" between the export and obsidian.

I don't know how does obsidian support the front matter, I personally want to keep the markdown more pure.. I think you can maybe test Hexo. It's better than my current solution (MkDocs) but I abandoned it because of the front matter...

I just tested that obsidian can hide front matter! so nice!
