I wanted a system that could do the following:
Publish new notes easily
Have some form of a blog post style, where recent posts can be made more visible
Handle wikilinks
Display backlinks
Simple management
For now, this works well for these purposes. A couple alternatives I’ve tried or considered:
Obsidian Publish
A more standard static site generator: Hugo, Jekyll, 11ty, etc.
Obsidian Publish is quite good, but I’ve found the out-of-the-box CSS from Blot to be closer to what I’m looking for.
Despite that, a couple things that Obsidian Publish does better than Blot:
Proper handling of dead links (i.e. links to notes that have not yet been created)
A local graph view displaying the connections from one note to other notes
