# Bear notes Hugo theme
|
||
|
||
Online Zettelkasten/Digital garden [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) theme.
|
||
|
||
### Sites using zettels
|
||
|
||
- https://dilrong.com
|
||
- https://digitalgarden.guidopercu.dev/
|
||
- https://notas.cristian.lat
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
### 💻 Installing & running
|
||
|
||
On your `config.toml`, set the theme as follows: theme = `"github.com/crisrojas/zettels"`, alternative you could just `git clone` this repo inside the "themes" folder or submodule it with `git submodule`.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
git submodule add https://github.com/crisrojas/zettels.git themes/zettels
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
From bear, export your notes as markdown into the content folder.
|
||
You'll also need to put there an _index.md file. This will be the webiste entry point.
|
||
|
||
To make things easier you could use one of this tools:
|
||
|
||
- [Bear Markdown Export](https://github.com/andymatuschak/Bear-Markdown-Export)
|
||
- [Bhugo](https://github.com/Zach-Johnson/bhugo/blob/master/main.go) (Be aware that native Hugo tags aren't supported yet)
|
||
- [Bear markdown images fixer script](https://gist.github.com/crisrojas/6662f9fc78a99dc56c2c268a713a60ee) (please, make a backup before running the script)
|
||
|
||
Run with `hugo server --disableFastRender` , this will avoid a weird bug that I've not tracked yet (content being rendered multiple times)
|
||
|
||
|
||
### ⚙️ Config file
|
||
|
||
This is the `config.toml` [I'm using for publishing my notes](https://notas.cristian.lat).
|
||
|
||
I'll add more details about usage in the future. For now you can copy-paste and replace the variables to fit your needs.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
```toml
|
||
languageCode = "es-ES"
|
||
title = "Notas"
|
||
uglyURLS = true
|
||
|
||
relativeURLs = true
|
||
|
||
publishDir = "public"
|
||
pygmentsUseClasses = true
|
||
|
||
assetDir = "themes/zettels/assets"
|
||
|
||
DefaultContentLanguage = "es"
|
||
|
||
theme = "zettels"
|
||
|
||
[outputs]
|
||
home = ["HTML", "JSON"]
|
||
|
||
[params]
|
||
theme = "duotone-light"
|
||
bear = true
|
||
favicon = "favicon.ico"
|
||
author = "Cristian Rojas"
|
||
|
||
# Enable tags.
|
||
[taxonomies]
|
||
tag = "tags"
|
||
|
||
|
||
# Allows rendering the html inside markdown
|
||
[markup.goldmark.renderer]
|
||
unsafe= true
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
> ℹ bear = true uses filename as a title on the frontend instead the title yaml property.
|
||
|
||
### 🎨 Themes
|
||
|
||
On your config file, pass the chosen theme as a parameter:
|
||
|
||
```toml
|
||
[params]
|
||
theme = "duotone-light"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You can chose between *duotone-light* and *red-graphite*.
|
||
|
||
More Bear themes will be added in the future.
|
||
|
||
### 🌎 Language
|
||
|
||
On your config file, pass the chosen language as a parameter:
|
||
|
||
```tom
|
||
DefaultContentLanguage = "es"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Languages available: Spanish ("es"), English ("en"), French ("fr")
|
||
|
||
### 🔗 Linking notes
|
||
|
||
Linking is done through double-brackets syntax.
|
||
|
||
Ex.: `[[wikilink]]`, where "wikilink" is the filename of the note to be linked.
|
||
|
||
I'll maybe add a feature to allow choosing linking from note's title instead of filename.
|
||
|
||
```html
|
||
<!-- Input -->
|
||
[[biology]]
|
||
<!-- Regex looks for markdown file... -->
|
||
biology.md
|
||
<!-- Output html -->
|
||
<a href="biology.html">biology</a>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Spaces in wikilinks are supported: `[[spaced link]]` outputs `<a href="spaced-link.html">spaced link</a>`
|
||
|
||
### 🔙 Backlinks
|
||
|
||
Backlinks are supported. Example → [here](https://notas.cristian.lat/empieza-haciendo-lo-que-sea-necesario-despu%C3%A9s-haz-lo-que-sea-posible-sin-darte-cuenta-y-al-cabo-de-un-tiempo-estar%C3%A1s-haciendo-lo-imposible.html)
|
||
|
||
### Nested tags
|
||
|
||
Nested tags inside note content are rendered. Expect some errors on tricky cases.
|
||
|
||
### UI/UX
|
||
|
||
If you're thinking this obviously looks a little too much like Bear, you're right.
|
||
|
||
This is not coincidental. The reasons are basically:
|
||
|
||
- I ❤️ 🐻
|
||
- [I've tried before](https://5fbd3f8577526e0008aeee8b--zkcrisrojas.netlify.app/notes) to implement a good navigational UI for an online zettelkasten. I failed.
|
||
- Bear interface has been already polished from trial and error. No need to reinvent the wheel.
|
||
- I wanted a tool to publish my Bear notes and also wanted to "feel at home" when navigating.
|
||
- Not having to worry about design decisions boosts dev speed.
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Shortcuts
|
||
|
||
To open index/search hit:
|
||
|
||
- <svg style="margin-right:5px" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="10" height="10" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M0 12v-8.646l10-1.355v10.001h-10zm11 0h13v-12l-13 1.807v10.193zm-1 1h-10v7.646l10 1.355v-9.001zm1 0v9.194l13 1.806v-11h-13z"/></svg> ` Ctr` + `K`
|
||
- `Cmd` + `K`
|
||
|
||
### 🚧 toDo
|
||
|
||
- Adding more themes
|
||
- Allow custom CSS?
|
||
- Escape wikilinks inside inline code blocks
|
||
- Correct tag regex for special cases and add unit tests for both, wiki-regex and tag-regex.
|
||
- Create quickstart repo and add Netlify deploy button.
|
||
- 🇪🇸 → 🇬🇧: Change "privado" tag finder to "private-note"
|
||
- Integrate an image zoom library?
|
||
- Side menu: toDos, private notes, tag list, etc...
|
||
- Thumbnails on search component (from now we're loading the first image of each note from the very beginning without any kind of optimization)
|
||
- Lazy load those thumbnails
|
||
- Add support for Hugo tags (yaml)
|
||
- Add [[links to/headings]] support. See [this hugo thread](https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/support-wiki-internal-link-converson-to-relref-shortcode/6074) for an idea of the regex implementation
|
||
- Add Zettels to the [Hugo theme repository](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoThemes)
|
||
- Integrate [slideout js](https://slideout.js.org)
|
||
|
||
### Done
|
||
|
||
- <s>Allow choosing themes from config file</s>
|
||
- <s>Bear highlight regex: `==highlighted==` && `::highlighted::`</s>
|
||
- <s>Code blocks</s>
|
||
- <s>find a way to localize theme strings.</s>
|
||
- <s>🐻 Bear alike search sidebar</s>
|
||
- <s>Polar Markup support?</s> (Nope → [It will be deprecated](https://www.reddit.com/r/bearapp/comments/n73akc/new_to_bear_markdown_comparability_mode_or_not/gxuj81r?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3))
|
||
|
||
### Maybe one day/ Nice to have
|
||
|
||
- Theme selector from the frontend
|
||
- Dark theme detector from OS settings?
|
||
- Obsidian alike nodes graph
|
||
- Bear alike nested tag list
|
||
- Port frontend to a more [SPA alike tech](https://svelte.dev)
|
||
- SSG from Bear SQLite database ([wip?](https://github.com/crisrojas/miyanoSwift.git))
