It was very much on a whim that I decided to make this. I know I wanted to do something like this for a while but couldn’t ever get started on making the site. I know I’ll be more interested in something if I completely control and customise it, but it also needs to be easy to start and stick with.

Everything else must build off that. This means markdown, bonus points if it is easy to translate Obsidian flavoured markdown to whatever standard the renderer uses. Markdown is great but every tool seemingly has their own variants or additions to the language so it’ll be a challenge making sure compatibility is 100% across everything
