What is it?

Quartz is a set of tools for publishing your digital garden and notes as a website at no cost. It takes Markdown content and generates a fully functional static site, so you can keep writing in plain text files and share them on the web.

The project is built with TypeScript and is designed around the workflow of note-taking apps such as Obsidian. Its topics focus on networked thought, digital gardens, and the Obsidian ecosystem, which reflects the kind of linked-note content it is meant to publish.

Quartz is released under the MIT license. Documentation and a quick-start guide are hosted on its official site, and the project has an active Discord community for questions.
