How this site is built — the whole pipeline is boring on purpose:

  1. Notes are plain Markdown (Obsidian-flavored: [[wikilinks]], callouts, frontmatter).
  2. Quartz compiles the notes into a fast static site.
  3. The built site is served by a tiny static server on a self-hosted VPS.
  4. A Cloudflare Tunnel exposes it at manydrafts.com — no open ports, automatic HTTPS.

The point

Once the pipeline exists, publishing a new draft is just adding a Markdown file. See what a digital garden is for the why.
