Flowershow v0.2 - child of v0.1 + nextjs-tailwind-mdx + contentlayer
- Template: does not yet exist we are going to try out in next.datahub.io and then factor out of that

Note: we have already kind of built this in DataHub Pages v0.1

Question

How do we start on Flowershow
- Do we simply extract the patterns and common components elsewhere into a common toolkit
- OR: do we go a more polished approach "start with the first tutorial and make it work"
obsidian support?
how do we allow people to rapidly add core "CMS" features in an independent, upgradeable and scalable way (i.e. without manual tweaks etc)
What do people want to customize?
- Content (especially markdown content)
- Theme
  - layout etc, colors
  - analytics
  - …
- Plugins for processing markdown
How would people know about available components
Should we use typescript?
can we take something from here ? - https://github.com/TuanManhCao/digital-garden (this repo is using our obsidian wiki link plugin i.e https://github.com/life-itself/remark-wiki-link-plus)

/README.md [data.csv] [/notes # more markdown]

Template would be a nextjs app template

i.e. a git repo with a working nextjs

e.g. configure that template or symlink files

Self-service => instructions for cloudflare pages, vercel, etc

Cloud => install our plugin (e.g. in obsidian) / use our service (point our service at your git repo)
