I'm predominantly working on an easier system to post new content to a blog. I still have a wordpress site, but it was starting to feel bloated and required too much effort to maintain, keep the plugins updated, backup the MySQL database, etc. I wanted to have more end-to-end control over everything, so I decided to switch to a static site generator (Pelican). But I was looking to develop a turnkey solution so I could post to my blog directly from Obsidian using a custom plugin that runs directly inside it. With one click of a button, my markdown note is converted/formatted and all the image assets are compressed into optimal WebP format. All of that is then handed off to Pelican, a static site generator which combines it with a custom theme, and creates a set of exportable HTML files. These files are then pushed to my GitHub repo. From there, a GitHub runner takes over, copies the new article onto my VPS, and then everything is instantly refreshed on my website. It's less about the overall aesthetic—because I know the site looks like hot garbage—and more about a frictionless experience for posting new content. The first test of the POC was an article about building the entire system. https://mordenstar.com/blog/obsidian-to-pelican-exporter https://mordenstar.com/blog/obsidian-to-pelican-exporter
