Template Details

obsidian-jekyll-blog is a blog template that combines Obsidian with Jekyll, which the author calls ObJekyll. It treats the _notes directory in the repository as an Obsidian vault, and the note content is built into a static site by Jekyll, so no local development environment is needed to publish. The template supports Obsidian-style backlink previews and graph view, and provides navigation by tags, time, and other means, with the navigation structure customizable through configuration. For publishing, the README gives two approaches: simple deployment on Vercel and deployment via GitHub Actions with GitHub Pages, and mentions that publishing can be completed with a single push.

The theme part uses a separate jekyll-theme-ObJekyll repository, which can be replaced. That theme template comes from wu-kan's jekyll-theme-WuK, and the Obsidian backlink-related implementation references maximevaillancourt's digital-garden-jekyll-template. The repository also has an open-sourced Hugo version, which the README says has faster local preview.

Limitations to note: the repository materials do not provide the Jekyll version, dependency list, or build environment requirements, so actual setup must be based on the repository files; the licensing of third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons needs to be checked separately, and the MIT license only covers the code of this version itself; external services such as domains and hosting may incur costs.

How this score is calculated

Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.

The catalog identifies Jekyll as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.
