Maintaining a website with Bear and Quarto

I have finally got round to writing up the process I use to maintain my website using Bear and Quarto. I love this process, and it is the single best change I have made to my productivity processes ever. Here is my writeup.

I have also made a video demonstrating the process which you can see you YouTube here.

Wow, this is awesome, thanks a lot for detailed walkthrough. Will go through it soon. I love Quarto (as it’s the best blogging platform imo for data scientists as the jupyter notebook rendering is best in class). Also writing some blog posts in markdown is sometimes required (not all are code-heavy) and I think this can solve the issue of writing and then publishing. As I really like to write in bear, I don’t know why but I just can’t write in any other software or note taking app once I’ve used bear, it has something that make me stick to it haha.

Did you manage to take a look at this? I didn’t get much feedback about it so I guess it’s not something many people want to do…

I took a brief look at it, as I’m interested in setting up a blog. I’m an R user so I have Quarto in RStudio. Using it for a blog with Bear would be very cool. I wonder how the workflow compares to other static site generators like Hugo or Jekyll? When I get more time, I want to compare the publishing workflows of the different methods.

Also, I suggest you also share this on the Bear subreddit. It may get more feedback there. I’ve stopped sharing stuff like this here because most users are here to lobby the devs for new features and to report bugs (e.g., I shared a bunch of shortcuts last year with zero response even though there were 133 downloads of my daily note shortcut).
