  • Homepage Fix: Resolved a 404 error on the Quartz homepage by implementing a minimal index.md template and rebuilding the site.
  • Plugin Evaluation: Evaluated and recommended Quartz plugins to enhance user experience, focusing on journaling and exploration.
  • Configuration Review: Reviewed Quartz configuration for personal journaling, offering suggestions for improvement.
  • Syntax Error Fix: Addressed a syntax error in quartz.config.ts related to plugin configuration.
  • Conditional Publish Flag: Provided a code snippet for conditionally setting the publish flag in frontmatter based on project category.

Achievements

  • Successfully implemented a structured folder hierarchy and markdown file automation for Quartz projects.
