What's New in Pubsidian Neo ?

• Thank you for your support and feedback, I have added many new features as well as fixed some known bugs from the previous version.

• Here's a comprehensive list of newly added features in this "Neo" version.

• 

• Search 2.0

• • You can now search tags with full-text support with new Search 2.0.
  • However, in this demo, you can only search couple of tags like "primary element", "tools", etc. along with traditional file name search.
  • Since, this example contains highly co-related data, I have decided to disable full-text search for this particular example.

• Share Now

• • Share Now help you to share your current note with others.
  • To share your current note, just click the "Share Current Note" button from the sidebar.
  • It will automatically copy the URL of your current note to your clipboard.
  • Simply send the copied URL with someone to share the note

• 

• Graph 2.0

• • Previously in Graph 1.0, one can only view the correlation of the notes in it. To open them, one had to go the sidebar menu.
  • Graph 2.0 has removed this drawback. Now you can simply click on the name of the node to open them in the Content section.
  • Also, Graph 2.0 introduces new color scheme, for better visualization.
  • You can now also view unlimited number of nodes in Graph 2.0
  • 

• CORE 2.0

• • New Pubsidian CORE, namely data2.json gives you the flexibility to choose the notes to list in pubsidian.
  • To refrain a note from listing in the main mwnu, simply set the "list" value of the corresponding note to false in the data2.json.
  • 
  • You can now also add custom tag and descriptions in data2.json

Structure

Why this project?

• For the last couple of months, I'm using OBSIDIAN.md, a fantastic note-taking app, for tracking my studies and boosting productivity and I LOVE IT. But, after using for a while, yesterday, when I was about to present couple of notes to my friend, I had faced some serious challenges, publishing my notes.
• Browsing into the forum, I've come to know about Obsidian-Publish and some other alternatives. While Obsidian publish costs 8$ per month and works flawlessly (which is btw a lot for the students like me with zero income😢), I have faced a hard time understanding its free alternatives. Also, all free alternatives lack the most interesting feature of OBSIDIAN, a.k.a the Graph View.
• That's why after 20+ hours of code and 6 cups of coffee, here's my version of the free Obsidian Publish with Graph View🥳🥳...

Quick-start guide

This project is currently under development. I've added a single-click-convertor for pubsidian notes. Now, you can generate a web version of your obsidian notes just with a single script. Video tutorial is coming soon.

Quickstart Guide

Pubsidian Convert GUI v1.0

• STEP-1: CONVERSION:

  • Download PubsidianConverter1.0alpha.exe
  • Copy and Paste this application to the obsidian directory, [i.e where your notes (.md) are stored.]
  • Simply double-click to RUN PubsidianConverter1.0alpha.exe
  • You will see a window, something like this:
  • 
  • Enter your name (It will be reflected as ***'S NOTEBOOK in your pubsidian website) and hit Convert to Pubsidian. Now, a pop up window will arrive. Select the Attachment folder, i.e., where the images, used inside your obsidian notes are stored from the pop-up window.
  • After running successfully, you'll get an OUTPUT directory, containing three elements: index.html,data.json and pages directory.

• STEP-2: HOSTING:

  • Drag and drop your OUTPUT directory in netlify

Voila!! 🥳🥳 your site is online.
