I have limited time and need to focus. I also have lots of ideas, which can be painful at times. One of those ideas is the `pub` plug: [GitHub - silverbulletmd/silverbullet-pub: Publish your Silver Bullet space to the Internet](https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet-pub)

I don’t see having time to really build this plug out, but I think it has potential. An alternative would be to point people to Quartz, which does something similar: [Look into publishing via quartz · Issue #993 · silverbulletmd/silverbullet · GitHub](https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/issues/993)

However, Quartz won’t understand SilverBullet features like templates or queries. So it would need a pre-processing step before actually invoking quartz to generate all the HTML.

There’s still a few reasons why I’d like pub to exist, though:

1. It’s a fully integrated into SilverBullet. You don’t need to install anything external, it’s just there.
2. It publishes pages not just as HTML, but as `.md` files too, as well as an `index.json` file, which make these published pages it browsable via [Federation](https://silverbullet.md/Federation)

@justyns is using it to publish [https://ai.silverbullet.md/](https://ai.silverbullet.md/)

Any takers?
