Quartz

Quartz is a robust static site generator designed to transform Markdown content into fully functional websites, embracing a digital garden philosophy. This tool supports a wide range of features including search, graph view, wikilinks, backlinks, LaTeX, syntax highlighting, and RSS feeds. It generates static output that can be hosted anywhere, allowing users to build and run sites locally with hot reloads. Additionally, Quartz offers extensive customization options for colors, layouts, and theming.

While Quartz is highly versatile, its philosophy of making everything public may not align with everyone's note-taking preferences. Though it supports private pages, additional configuration is required to utilize this feature. The tool also boasts compatibility with Obsidian, Docker support, internationalization, and a variety of plugins for enhanced functionality. Users can benefit from its simple JSX layouts, fast page loads, and small bundle sizes.

Quartz requires Node v20 and npm v9.3.1 to function correctly, and can be initialized through a series of terminal commands. The platform also provides comprehensive documentation and video guides to help users set up, configure, and host their sites. For troubleshooting, users can search for solutions, upgrade to the latest version, or seek assistance from the Quartz Discord Community.
