Quartz is now v5 hmmm
I'm not in a rush to update, probably once I finished writing more notes to publish

I'd like to hear your thought of using quartz for years

@ganbold@sns1.hydranlab.com The rebrand for v5 as obsidian-compatible CMS instead of a self-owned alternative for obsidian publish (as well as "merely" for digital garden, though I don't think this has ever been said in quartz's project site) is a good thing. After all, it's up to the user themselves how do they use the tool in their hand. I also like that quartz finally have more community-built plugin to add more compatibility with obsidian's community plugins. Also comments! holy shit. I wanna comment about adding support for obsidian bases but I figured out just now that quartz already supports it, at least for v5.

I like it, the basic UI & styling of the web is simplistic but not so much that it feels opinionated or too basic. At least for me, so much that I don't change any configuration for the UI other than the site's name until very recently. Not commenting on the writing part since it's more about how you feel about obsidian rather than quartz. It was, after all, started as a copy of obsidian publish—of course it's good if you want to publish what you write in and on obsidian, as close as it could get without just accessing the vault itself directly. I've looked a few times for other markdown-based CMS but in the end never migrated or tried those out.

One thing that I want to do is for the sidebar to have highlights and updates for published notes/articles instead of tree navigation (compare jzhao's personal site and quartz's site), though I might be just too lazy to vibecode or figure out myself.
