Site todo (quartz)

[!NOTE] This is an old todo file I used when building my site with Quartz. It’s left here for posterity.

In addition to using this site as a general wiki for my thoughts, I’m eyeing the possibility of migrating my entire blog to this format. I Currently make my site with Jekyll (a great product!) but I have a lot of customization living in each post’s frontmatter, and while I do have a variety of convenience scripts set up, I kind of need to be sitting at my desktop machine in order to create and publish posts.

With Quartz, I just add a new file somewhere, slap on a few words, and it’s already a part of my website. I want to see if there is a way to stay within this dead-simple workflow, and somehow recreate the functionality of my current site.

Todos

  • General
  • Game wiki section
    • Start writing things about games I am playing
    • Micro-posts
      • Start writing micro-posts for my thoughts while playing
      • Set up a workflow to easily write/save new files with the correct name and location (Obsidian script, or Shortcuts?)
      • Display a game’s micro posts on that game’s top page
      • Enable hover hover-over links for only certain links
        • Just definitions would be ideal
  • RSS
    • Set up an RSS feed, for only notes that I set #metaRSS in the frontmatter
    • A feed for links
    • A feed that combines both
  • Blog
    • Migrate old posts over
    • Check all posts to make sure nothing is broken
    • Resurface link frontmatter
      • Add a new /links section based on this.
        • Overlap with /posts is ok
    • See how things feel with a tag-based organization
    • Add the five-color display to the design
  • Micro posts
    • Make image display smarter. Probably put all images inline.
