Why ZBlog-building series
From zero Obsidian notes to the website you’re reading right now — read in order for the complete build path.
- 01 Personal blog: Obsidian + Quartz — tool comparison and the full deployment flow; start of the series
- 02 Card display for the library & watch list — how the book/movie card walls on this site work
- 03 Displaying book metadata in Quartz — surfacing author, rating, and other frontmatter on the page
- 04 Syncing Obsidian files to Quartz — three sync approaches compared, landing on GitHub Actions
- 05 Getting the site indexed by search engines — submitting and verifying with Google / Bing
Obsidian tinkering: plugins and the personal library
Notes from tinkering inside Obsidian — from building a personal library to writing my own plugins and publishing them to the community.
- 08 Obsidian personal library + media library — where the blog’s book/movie library idea came from; weighing Dataview vs Bases
- 06 Plugin development: Git sync — managing plugin source with git and pushing to GitHub
- 07 Plugin development: refactoring — splitting tangled code into view / logic / side effects
- 09 Clipboard plugin — my paste-optimizer plugin: strip copyright tails, clean blank lines, fix tables
- 10 Submitting a plugin to the Obsidian community — the full flow of cutting a release and PR-ing the official repo
