A zero-backend static site for browsing and searching a PublicTxt repository, or any Obsidian / Markdown vault. Formerly Txt-Hugo. This site is built with it — see Publishing.

What it does

  • Static and free to host — Hugo build, deployed to GitHub Pages or any static host. No server, no hosted search.
  • Works on plain Obsidian vaults — relative Markdown links build as a working site with no conversion step.
  • Full-text search and facets — Pagefind search; filter lists and results by collection and tags, including combinations, with include / exclude chips.
  • Hashtags — inline #hashtags merge with front matter tags; nested tags (dev/web) too.
  • Collections — top-level folders (wiki, blog, posts, notes, bookmarks) plus collections: and bookmark: front matter. See Repository structure.
  • Dates from the path and Git — created / updated derived, no front matter needed.
  • Navigation — sections, tag cloud, folder trees for the wiki, timelines for the blog.

How

  • Python preprocessing (no dependencies): content sync, titles, dates, hashtags
  • Hugo templates; browse lists and facets in plain ES modules, bundled by Hugo
  • Pagefind for search
