Amethyst

📓 obsidian-compatible notes theme for hugo, built from quartz and hugo-book.

I write most of my notes in Obsidian. When trying to find a suitable open-source alternative for Obsidian Publish, I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for: a simple, customizable theme with sidebar navigation that supported Obsidian features (like backlinks or LaTeX) in such a way that didn't require me to reformat my notes.

Amethyst is an attempt to deliver this by combining the navigational features of hugo-book with the Obsidian integrations of quartz to provide a hassle-free place to store and host personal notes or documentation.

Features

Amethyst preserves most of the features of quartz and hugo-book, including:

• Navigation sidebars on left and right of content
• Obsidian-style callouts
• Interactive graph view
• MermaidJS charts
• User-togglable dark mode
• Search bar
• Multi-language support
• Mobile support
• Obsidian-style back/forward links and page previews

Some new features that were added on top:

• Custom formatting of tabs, sections, and expands specifically for Q&A-style interaction
• Easy customization of theme colors and fonts
• LaTeX enabled out of the box with no additional config
• Support for both absolute and relative links, Obsidian-style
