### What we like

Converts Markdown content into a fully-featured website with a digital garden philosophy. Includes search, graph view, wikilinks, backlinks, Latex, syntax highlighting, RSS. Generates static output that can be hosted anywhere. Build & run locally with hot reloads. Customizable colors, layouts and theming.

### Tradeoffs

The philosophy is based on everything being public, which might not suit how you want to take notes. Quartz supports private pages, but it requires additional config.
