• Ask HN: Best Minimal Blog Site?

  Https://gohugo.io/ It's written in go but what's great about it, unlike many competitors written in Javascript or Python, is that it is just a simple binary you download and run, you do not need to get a PhD in the go build system to start a web site also it is crazy fast. It can publish a site to something like S3 or Azure Storage behind a CDN and you do not have to worry about anything other than paying the... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• MdBook – a command line tool to create books with Markdown

  Biggest downside of this tool is inability to render PDF or ePub[1]. This is why we recently switched to Quarto[2]. Typst is also a good alternative, already mentioned in other comments. [1] https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook/issues/815. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Jupyter Kernel for Deno

  I'm really happy to see this, I love using the ipython console and notebooks, and while the deno repl was ok, it's not as good. I wonder if Deno can be used with https://quarto.org/ now? - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• React for R

  Data visualization! Web is the go-to format for interactive data visualizations nowadays. This package is targeted at other package developers looking to integrate the abundant wealth of React-based data viz libraries into R. Check out https://quarto.org/ for an example of a popular way users publish their data analyses as reports. (This package isn't really meant to be used directly by the typical user). - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: Best static site generator for non-designer?

  I'm using Quarto [0], pretty happy with my blog [1] [0] https://quarto.org/ [1] https://blog.horaceg.xyz/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Show HN: I wrote a LaTeX paper without writing any LaTeX

  Interesting project. It seems like your functionality, other than the browser-based editor and renderer, overlaps with Quarto (https://quarto.org/) I use a tiled text editor/quarto preview browser pane with a lot of success for scientific notes. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Typst: An easy to learn alternative for LaTex

  You may be limited for your thesis. My grad program required us to conform to either a Word or LaTeX template, of which I found the latter actually much easier to deal with. I just kept my chapters in separate files that are inputted into the template. If you're asking for other assignments, I'd actually recommend Quarto [1]. It's basically a streamlined version of your current workflow. The other benefit is that... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Typst: An easy to learn alternative for LaTex

  I guess this is a competitor to services such as overleaf [1] and codimd [2]. Although this is yet another syntax, it seems to be supported by pandoc [3]. Lately, I have been using Quarto [4] more and more as I program in R, which also produces very nice outputs, especially HTML. But none of these solve the academic usage problems of (1) producing nice diffs for reviewers, and (2) can easily be shared with, and... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Ask HN: What is the best way to author blogs in 2024v

  I love Quarto [0] and use GitHub pages for hosting. Quarto works nicely with several IDEs, and works out of the box with both Python, R, and Observable JS. Typst support was also just added, but I haven’t explored that yet. The documentation is also extensive. Here is the link to setting up a blog [1].

• The Overengineered Resume with Zola, JSON Resume, Weasyprint, and Nix

  Dropping a link/endorsement for quarto : https://quarto.org/ It's a static site/document generator that supports bibliographies, jupyter notebooks, and good old fashioned markdown. It works well for complex academic resumes and CV's, as well as blogs and library documentation. I use a template for my website : https://jjd.io/ github repo : - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Ask HN: Should I consolidate my blogs into one?

  You could also check out Quarto [0]. It is maintained by the people behind RStudio. It offers a hassle-free blogging option. You can update Quarto via apt-get, and not worry about manually updating Jekyll or Jekyll-based static site generator. I used beautiful-jekyll before, but I got really annoyed with manually updating the generator, so I stopped updating, so I later moved to Quarto.

• 37signals announces next ONCE product: Workbooks, to release for free

  "But it's surprisingly challenging to publish books on the web in nice, cohesive, tight, easy-to-navigate HTML format." Quarto is one great option for doing that today. Bonus: it can also generate EPUBs and PDFs, all from one set of source files. https://quarto.org/ It's free and open source. https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli https://jjallaire.github.io/hopr/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Ask HN: Best way for a Markdown based blog and eBook?

  I've used Quarto[1] to build a personal blog and it has been really easy and straightforward. Especially if you want to run some code alongside the post (like Python, R, or Julia). As far as I know, you can also use it to write books and presentations. [1]: https://quarto.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Scipy 1.13

  > Interactive examples have been added to the documentation, allowing users to run the examples locally on embedded Jupyterlite notebooks in their browser. This might sound strange, but to me this is the most exciting thing listed in the update document. I've been looking for ways to include _interactive_ Python scripts on static webpages (such as those made using Jupyter Book [1] or Quarto [1]. Up to now the only... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Sent – simple plaintext presentation tool

  Deckset was the OG in this space, which I used a decade (!) ago in college. Looks like they moved off the Mac App Store, and are bringing out an iOS app now: https://www.deckset.com Now I much prefer something like https://quarto.org with dataviz. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Sent – simple plaintext presentation tool

  To mirror another comment: I really like the concept and will give it a try. As an alternative, I want to suggest [Quarto](https://quarto.org) - somewhat similar, easy to use, one might even call it "basic" (I mean that in a good way!) 7/5 ^^. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
