Workflow connecting Obsidian's knowledge management with Astro's web publishing capabilities

Core Idea:

Creating a seamless pipeline from Obsidian's markdown-based note system to Astro's static site generation enables knowledge workers to publish well-structured content while maintaining a single source of truth.

Key Principles:

1. Markdown Compatibility:
   • Both systems use markdown as their primary content format
2. Content Synchronization:
   • Automated processes to move content from Obsidian to Astro
3. Metadata Preservation:
   • YAML frontmatter works in both systems for consistent metadata

Why It Matters:

• Single Source of Truth:
  • Write once in Obsidian and publish to the web without duplicating effort
• Knowledge Graph Publishing:
  • Turn private knowledge connections into public, navigable content
• Structured Publishing:
  • Leverage Obsidian's organization for structured web content

How to Implement:

1. Configure Obsidian Vault:
   • Set up templates and folders with publishing in mind
2. Set Up Sync Mechanism:
   • Use Git or automated scripts to move content to Astro project
3. Configure Astro Rendering:
   • Set up templates to handle Obsidian-specific markdown syntax

Example:

• Scenario:
  • A developer wants to publish their programming notes as a digital garden
• Application:

// Example Astro config for Obsidian content
export default defineConfig({
  markdown: {
    remarkPlugins: [
      'remark-wiki-link', // Handle [[wiki-links]]
      'remark-math',      // Support for math notation
    ],
    rehypePlugins: [
      'rehype-katex',     // Render math notation
    ]
  },
  // Content collection for Obsidian notes
  content: {
    sources: {
      notes: {
        contentDir: './src/content/obsidian-vault/',
        schema: noteSchema,
      }
    }
  }
});

• Result:
  • A published website that preserves Obsidian's interconnected note structure
