What makes this better than all the other free Obsidian Publish alternatives out there?
Link copied to clipboard
Markbase is completely non-technical - you don't need to learn about GitHub, do any special configuration steps in Notepad or learn about hosting providers like Netlify.
Literally all you have to do is create an account, install the plugin, choose a folder of Markdown files and that's it!
There are downsides - Markbase isn't open-source or as customizable as other GitHub-based alternatives. It's great if you're after an easy, low-hassle solution otherwise those other solutions are still out there!

Thanks to Jacky Zhao's Quartz project for design inspiration on notable elements (including hover links, graph and backlinks design). Highly recommend checking it out if you're interested in an open-source, potentially self-hosted solution.
