Quartz

Static-site generator that publishes a digital garden and notes, written as Markdown, as a website.

Quartz is a static-site generator that turns a folder of Markdown notes into a website for a digital garden. The source is cloned from its repository and dependencies are installed with npm. npx quartz create then runs a setup wizard that picks a template and a base URL. Content lives in the content folder, and layouts and page components are written as JSX.

npx quartz build --serve runs a local preview. The public directory is copied to any host that serves static HTML, and the hosting guide names GitHub Pages, Cloudflare, Netlify and Vercel.

Worth knowing

The Docker support page says serve mode is intended for local previews only.
