I'm currently building a small website as my online portfolio and blog, with some fun stuff like making it explorable as a side-scroller "game" (I gaven't enabled that functionality yet), and as part of documenting the process, I'm trying to write short blog posts that cover some of the tools and decisions I'm making along the way.

This post is about how I decided to write the site's content using Markdown in order to write using Obsidian, and how I then turn that Markdown code into clean, modern HTML "on the fly".

Please note that the site itself is still very much a work in progress.

Anyone here ever tried keeping a Markdown note next to their movie files? I’m talking about something like having a MovieName (Year).mkv and a MovieName (Year).md living in the same folder.

I was thinking it could be a nice way to keep personal notes about the movie, quick thoughts after watching, trivia, or even just a record of when and which version I watched. Since Markdown is plain text, it feels future-proof and easy to edit from anywhere.

Just looking to see how other people handle notes or metadata outside of the usual movie database apps.

Note-taking software available on desktop and mobile, of course based on the Markdown syntax, including some extra support for KaTeX, mhchem and Mermaid notation, on top of several plugins.

It can also be set up to sync on a cloud storage, Syncthing and has encryption capabilities builtin.

Description

It allows you to use an existing Markdown document, and make it pretty and viewable with formatting straight out of the box straight in a web browser, no fancy viewer or convertion required.

How to use it

Simply place the following string at the bottom of your .md file

<!-- Markdeep: --><style class="fallback">body{visibility:hidden;white-space:pre;font-family:monospace}</style><script src="markdeep.min.js" charset="utf-8"></script><script src="https://morgan3d.github.io/markdeep/latest/markdeep.min.js" charset="utf-8"></script><script>window.alreadyProcessedMarkdeep||(document.body.style.visibility="visible")</script>

and then append .html to the file extension (ex: file.md.html)

You can them open it with any web browser and view it with a table of content, clickable links, etc.

Why ?

It makes it quite simple to deploy as a static HTML file, and you can leverage the Markdown syntax for its readability if you need to edit it.
