Design

Obsidian

Thoughts on this portfolio/services page design? Using /obsidian and Quartz for static knowledge garden sites.

These buttons scroll me up, and I don't know why!

Governance and knowledge services: www.clinamenic.com // @journodao @opencivics // limoncellist 🍋

I think the default should be playing for mobile, then paused on desktop and play on hover. Otherwise most mobile users will miss this nice touch

Same with the graph.

As an Obsidian user I'm familiar with this as a UI element but even then I'm unsure how to navigate it without labels.

If it's intended to be purely decorative I would personally remove it as you already have content dense pages

Second button just seems to refresh the page

Theme button feels superfluous to such high priority screen real estate

Search button may make more sense if you have new visitors that know what to look for on your site, or if you really have *that* much content to share. If you really wanna keep it maybe pre-populating it with recent and/or popular searches would make it more useful

All that to say, very pretty! Cool pages, love seeing Obsidian vaults turned to static websites.

Good idea re: autoplay on mobile! I guess I can just specify that on small screens the rounded text should just display by default, rather than shift from 0 to 1 opacity on hover.
