About
About mdgarden
mdgarden is a lightweight, framework-free static-site generator: point it
at a folder of .md files and it renders a complete digital garden —
search, backlinks, tags, an interactive graph view, dark mode, math, and
syntax highlighting — with no runtime framework and no native dependencies.
It speaks Obsidian-flavored Markdown, so an existing Obsidian vault (or any
pile of notes) works out of the box.
This very vault, the docs you're reading, is also the project's manual-testing fixture — see Contributing for how that works.
Why it exists
Most static-site generators that handle wikilinks and a graph view pull in a
full frontend framework. mdgarden is built around the opposite bet: ship
the smallest possible amount of JavaScript and CSS, no native build
dependencies, and a single binary if you want one — see
Architecture for how the codebase
is organized to keep that promise.
