Here’s a pretty good summary of the features Quarto includes around publishing a blog.

Quarto files are just markdown files, so any text editor will work. There is nice support for Neovim, JupyterLab, and RStudio too, if any of those are more familiar.
That said, the Quarto VS.Code extension has some very nice features that I think would be awfully useful in a big project:
- A visual editor to allow a simpler editing experience (could be a pro or con ;-)).
- Completions for document centric things like cross references and bibliographies, completions for yaml configuration options.
- Live preview of LaTeX math, Mermaid and Graphviz diagrams
- Syntax highlight for the markdown and embedded languages
- A nice preview workflow
I'm not sure if those are enough to overcome the lack of familiarity, but thought I'd highlight some of the benefits. Neovim and Rstudio both have very strong features with most or all of the above. Our JuptyerLab extension is more minimal, really only helping with markdown rendering.
We do generally attempt to only include JS dependencies in the HTML output if they are used. We share those dependencies across pages in a website, so if a single page uses a dependency they all will pick it up, but if you have a minimal world view and disable the various interactive goodies, you should get a _relatively_ more thin set of dependencies.
For HTML output, using `minimal: true` in document front matter will give you very minimal HTML that should be ready to style with CSS (and pretty much no dependencies)
The newest version of Quarto adds support for dashboards, Typst, inline code execution, rich cross references, scientific manuscripts, and more.
This looks really great (I'm using the iOS app on an iPad).
I like reviewing long HN threads and would love to save them to read later. However, when I go to a saved thread in Readwise, it only renders the root comment (and none of the replies). I can't find a way to escape the styled view to get to the original. Am I perhaps just missing something or if not, consider it a suggestion!
The 64 sedan had 3 point lap belts and a roll cage reinforcing the passenger compartment. Not really a particularly compelling example of a typical ‘64 sedan…
My recollection is that it is all local by default. If you don't specifically connect to their web service for syncing data, none of the data is stored outside your local device.

We've been helping people lose weight since 2008, and since then Lose It! has reached more than 16 million people (maybe even a few here on HN). We're still a very small company, just 8 people, located in the Seaport District in Boston. We're product focused and believe that small teams can make a huge impact when they are focused and motivated. We're venture backed by General Catalyst and United Healthcare.
If you'd like to help us change people's lives and build the next generation of technology to help people manage their weight, we're looking for developers as well as a data scientist. Learn more at http://www.loseit.com/jobs or drop me a line directly at charles at loseit.com.
We're across availability zones and definitely ran into an outage across zones tonight.
We're in AWS East and definitely fighting some issues here, though we're trying to understand what is happening.
Thanks- good point! We made our name originally on the iPhone and we'll definitely emphasize this more!
