# quill
a minimal blog engine that allows posting your blogs through markdown files. it uses static site generator build with javascript to show the markdown file contents as a html site. has features like tags, search support, syntax highlighting and more. the most challenging part in the entire build was definitely the static site generator part which took a lot of time and understanding to make it. this project was primarily built to work in hand with obsidian where you can make use of commands like rsync to sync your posts from obsidian directly to the posts folder in the project.
