Drafting blog posts in Obsidian

So I've had this website for a few years now, and since most of that time I've been using Hugo, Doom Emacs was my choice to write and edit. But recently it's been really weird and crashy on my macbook, so I've switched completely over VS Code for code. But since Obsidian is basically just a Markdown editor, I thought why not use that for all the markdown stuff?

It's pretty nice, and I just ignore the stuff I won't use (like the graph). Live previewing is a bonus, and since I'm just writing, I don't use the vim keybindings. On that topic, I don't in VS Code either, because it just doesn't feel the same. I've been wanting to give helix a try though!

Unlike my personal vault, I don't use any plugins, and even disabled some core ones that'd never get used.

On preview, it's not that big of a deal to just use iTerm (especially given i have a shortcut to quickly get to the website directory).

Probably the weirdest thing I've started doing since is using git gui. I miss Magit, and would probably keep Emacs installed with only that with that, since it makes more complicated operations easier than typing everything in. But for most things, git gui does the job more nicer than using the command line. (Yes, even in VS Code! For some reason, I can't stand the default source control panel thing).

Of course, this post has sat in here for months, but I don't want to go through 2024 writing nothing at all, so I promise a few more before the end of the year :) I've also nearly added photo gallery viewing.
