### Publish to the internet
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Setup environment (with Netlify)
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Create your Github account and clone [my repository](https://github.com/TuanManhCao/digital-garden)

|
|
|
|
|
2. Create Netlify account and follow [this instruction](https://www.netlify.com/blog/2020/11/30/how-to-deploy-next.js-sites-to-netlify/)

Your normal workflow for publishing content, after initial setup is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Simply writing your content in Obisidian (or your favourite Markdown editor)

|
|

|
|
### Some know issues
|
|
|
|
|
|
This an early version of MindStone, which mean there are bugs and issues. Below are some known issues, that I plan to work on:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Image link in wiki link style is not supported yet. `![[Image_link.png]]` will not work yet. see work around below
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Graphview does not load when clicking on side-bar or click node on graphview, browser reload will refresh it state
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Graph view layout and interaction is still very rough. More UI/UX improvements are needed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Transclusion is not working yet.
