Thank you!

Totally get that. My post was meant as a way , not the way . I already use Obsidian for most of my writing and notes, so this setup just fits naturally into my workflow.

But I’d say “infinite lifetime” only holds as long as your hardware, power, and IP setup stay stable. If your home machine dies or your router resets, things go offline fast. That’s part of why I prefer hosting the static output somewhere e

Thank you. Yes they offer unlimited bandwidth.

Nice setup. Yeah, I do commit drafts. My repo’s private, so I don’t mind keeping everything versioned there, including posts still marked as draft: true.

What I meant by "fully-owned" is really about owning the content and the workflow: everything lives locally in plain text, versioned in Git, and built with open tools. I can move it to any host without being locked into a platform

True, Blogspot is simpler. But if it ever shuts down or changes policies, you’re at their mercy - and exporting your content cleanly could be a mess. With this setup, everything is just Markdown files and Git. I can move it anywhere, anytim

Nice, didn’t know that. Will try it out, thanks!

I’m not totally sure, but Obsidian does have built-in spellcheck, and there are some community plugins like LanguageTool that might help with grammar. Haven’t used them extensively myself, but they could be worth checking out.

Github Pages also works, I used Cloudflare since almost all my other projects are hosted there + I use it to manage DNS.

I connect the custom domain in the Cloudflare Pages dashboard. Once the site is deployed, you can assign a domain under Pages > Custom Domains, and since I already manage DNS in Cloudflare, it's just a couple of clicks to route it.

I just like keeping all my writing in one place, separate from coding. Obsidian gives me that focused space, and I’ve set it up with a nice font and minimal theme that fits how I like to write.
14.
by ingav 1y ago
Yes. That's exactly what I meant. The content is not locked-down and is fully portable.

I’m using “fully owned” more in the sense of control rather than infrastructure ownership. The content lives locally, it’s versioned in Git, and everything’s built with open tools. I can move it to another host any time without being locked

> It feels like it causes less eye strain. Yes that was the intention.

Haha, been there. But this setup’s actually working really well for me. It’s not chasing the "hot new thing," it’s going back to stuff that’s proven and solid.

by ingav 1y ago
Yeah, I’m hoping this kind of setup gets more popular. It’s simple, fast, and gives you real control over your content.

I already have several other projects and DNS managed in Cloudflare, so it made sense to keep everything in one place. GitHub Pages would definitely work too.

by ingav 1y ago
This was written assuming you already have a domain. If not, then yes that would be an additional cost.

By "fully owned," I mean that I control the entire stack: - Content is just Markdown files in my local Obsidian vault - Hugo builds the site locally - no dependency on external editors or platforms - GitHub is just used for versio

thank you. beyond the simplicity of the process, i guess the merit in both our approaches lie in preference for files over apps. This [article]( https://stephango.com/file-over-app ) articulates it well.
