Why flowershow?
We've built content and data-driven websites for over a decade and we love Markdown. We've been using it a lot internally, both for note-taking and for content authoring for our various projects. But some time ago we discovered Obsidian. And we fell in love with it 😍.

We thought it would be amazing to author our content completely this way and still be able to publish the result as elegant websites.

So, we started working on Flowershow - a tool that supports all the Obsidian goodness and its syntax (e.g. wikilinks, backlinks, Mermaid and Excalidraw embeds or knowledge graph) and would also be able to produce a beautiful, customizeable and maintainable website.

We also ❤ Open Source and want Flowershow to grow with the needs and contributions of the community.
