Hello! TLDR: A non-dev writer guy here needs help with setting up PKM site. I love writing notes & I need help in managing them. Can I easily use Dendron to publish a digital garden/2nd brain/pkm site? Over the years of playing with blogging sites and journaling on pc, I ultimately grew fond of what is now called personal knowledge management. And I've tried finding a suitable tool. I come from the world of plethora of Word files, Dropbox, Dynalist outliner, Evernote, Notion, Roam & lately Obsidian while on my pursuit of finding an open source neat minimal yet functional tool for having/publishing a neat pkm site or digital brain with bidirectional linking, tags, graph & publishing capability etc. I tried finding such a tool and could only tinker with a static site generator I found on github. I haven't been able to use Jekyll and see if I can use that for my need. I was searching & just stumbled upon on Dendron in the Ycombinator news section in a comment by some legend and I'm wondering why is it standing quietly on one side of the internet. It feels like a long lost friend I hope I met years ago. Being the noob I am, I initially looked for a "download" page on Dendron website. As I scrolled down I realized it's a VScode plugin that I need to install. Now keep in mind that I haven't done anything on VScode ever until yesterday when I had to install it to edit a .toml file of a static site generator I am using to publish a test vault. So you can imagine how scary my experience might been when I installed the plugin & tried the tutorial section of Dendron. slowly cries inside I am hopeful because I think I can still use Obsidian to comfortably edit .md files in my vault like I used to do while trying to figure out the publishing part. Can someone guide me in the right direction?

Hey @casp3rX First, welcome to Dendron - glad that you found us in our corner of the internet 🙂 To answer

This is today harder than we would like. the most accessible tutorial right now to set this up is in [Netlify](https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/yetuum6o9wZi6eVJQBbQb) (credit to @ScriptAutomate ) do those instructions help for your setup?
