Quartz –> Zola transition
Not planning this anytime soon.
| Quartz Pros | Quartz Cons |
|---|---|
| Opinionated | Not always my opinions |
| Easy enough to set up | unless you want to change some things (404 page, footer) |
| loads nicely with symlinks | |
| slow to build (however I’ve automated that for most of it) | |
| nice graph |
| Zola Pros | Zola Cons |
|---|---|
| Fast | |
| More control | have to build much yourself |
| backlinks tracking supported | would have to build (or more likely drop) graph |
| might work with symlinks to pkm? | would probably have to restructure YAML headers |

While the transition was interesting to think about, I don’t believe I’ll do it. The graph would be messy to create again and why, Quartz already has it. The YAML header in Zola would require I set it up differently for taxonomies than I have it, whereas Quartz just required me to rename ‘keywords’ to ‘tags’.
More interesting projects would be to set up taxonomies and search for the Digital Hall
