What is MindStone?

MindStone is a free open-source alternative solution to Obsidian Publish

Publish to the internet

Setup environment (with Netlify)

  1. Create your Github account and clone my repository
  2. Create Netlify account and follow this instruction

Your normal workflow for publishing content, after initial setup is:

  1. Simply writing your content in Obisidian (or your favourite Markdown editor)
  2. Commit your changes and Push it to your Github repo

Future development

These are just some basic features for MindStone v1, many more are coming (if I find enough of interest and this will probably a premium/paid option):

  • 🎯Obsidian, Notion, VSCode Plugin
  • 🎯Page Preview (like Obsidian Core plugin)
  • 🎯Andy Sliding pane
  • 🎯Full text search with Cmd + K
  • 🎯Infinite canvas for browsing through notes and connections

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:

  • 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.
