A theme for Obsidian.md

Hi there 👋

Work related info...

I work at a small design agency, starting as a "front end" person back when that meant "take a photoshop visual and turn that into HTML and CSS". Before responsive design and iPhones.

I'm self-taught, and my role has expanded to cover almost everything required on a technical side, including:

• CMS setup and development with CraftCMS
• PHP Plugin development (for CraftCMS)
• Linux server administration
  • Setting up servers
  • BASH scripting for automation of tasks
  • Apache/Caddy/PHP/MySQL
• DDEV/Vite for local development
• SCSS/PCSS
• Modern "Vanilla" JavaScript
• HTML / CSS advancements (it does change!)
• GIT
• Documentation

I'm responsible for almost all the technical decisions and flow for all web infrastructure and projects we create, host, and manage.

Tech related history / outlook

I've been a web developer for about twenty years, starting in the days when Zeldman released Designing With Web Standards; Eric Meyer was writing books to popularise CSS; and Dan Cederholm was encouraging front-end "Web Standard Solutions". XHTML was a thing, Inspector/Firebug were not.

I've seen a lot, and a huge portion of the skills and knowledge from those days carry over to today. If you want to make an accessible, fast, high quality website - you need to know these core technologies. Core tech will always be relevent, and frameworks with their associated opinions come and go.

Tools are not skills, but choosing the right tool for the right job certainly is. I currently do not build SPA's, and so I do not much use REACT / Vue / Angular etc.

Matt the person

• Middle aged white guy attempting to become less ignorant over time.
• I try to listen to people different from myself, and do my own lifting so I'm not adding to other people's burdens.

obsidian-wilcox-one's Issues

Light Codebox cutoff

The bar at the top of codeboxes cuts off the first 1-2 lines of code for the light version.

Network usage is prohibited for themes

It appears that your theme uses network connections to load assets (e.g. fonts, icons, or images). This is prohibited by the official Obsidian developer policies because themes should function completely locally.

You can bundle an asset for local use by using data URLs. See this guide.

Please let us know if you have any questions. Any themes that use network connections will be removed from the official directory in the first week of January 2024.
