config.md or config.yml instead of config.json

Open rufuspollock opened this issue 2 months ago • 1 comments

Thinking about supporting config.md using yaml frontmatter or config.yaml instead of config.json since it's often easier for humans to create and to parse.

Not absolutely sure about it because it is more hassle/stuff to support, and there are other ways for us to improve the JSON experience.

NB: config.md would be great because it would editable from within obsidian and pushable that way! cf this request in the discord forum https://discord.com/channels/1029670148824641576/1418573980100464790

e.g. config.md could be like this

---
title: ...
nav:
  - ...
analytics: ...
---

Aside

Also wondering if we should move to something like flowershow-config.md or somesuch to get a bit more specific.

Also thought about .flowershow/config etc but dot directories are difficult for non-tech users to fathom.

Overall my sense is config.md is ok e.g. hugo used config.yaml (though it had content in subdirectories).
