Blogs
Blog system
In here I'll explain how this works :
Blogs editor
The blog editor I use for these is Obsidian. It's a markdown editor that allows you to create and edit markdown files. It's a great tool for writing and organizing your notes and thoughts. I've been able to use a community plugin to sync my notes to a private Github repository, which allows me to have a backup of my notes and access them from anywhere.
Blogs handling
As this website is written using Svelte and SvelteKit, I simply perform a fetch server-side to get all the blogs in the repository and display them on the left side. When the user clicks on a blog title, I fetch the blog content (usually encoded in base64) ,decode it, and display it on the right side.
Advantages
- I can write my blogs in markdown, which is a format I'm comfortable with.
- I can use Obsidian to write my blogs, which is a tool I'm familiar with.
- I can use git to version control my blogs.
- I can access my blogs from anywhere.
- I can easily integrate my blogs into my website.
Disadvantages
- I have to manually sync my notes to the Git repository.
- It can add some delay to the website loading time.
- I need to host my images on a site like Imgur to display them in my blogs; otherwise, the relative paths don't work.
