# [[2025-05-30 Notes is Born| Notes is Born]] _Posted: 2025-06-13_ | #obsidian #blog/2025/05 | [[Blog | Blog Index ]] I finally took the plunge into Obsidian Publish, and created a separate vault to connect my subscription to it. Why a separate vault? Because when I read up on Publish, I found out it naturally has some severe limitations brought upon due to the static publish pipeline. ## Limitations - *No plugins which dynamically create content.* So, Dataview was out. Emojis were out. etc - *No themes support*. You need to copy the themes CSS from an installed theme to the vault root for it to be applied to it. I understand these limitations. But I need the stuff it leaves out. So I decided that most of my Obsidian powerhouse stuff can continue to be in the private vaults. Only a curated set of notes can be slowly moved out. Notes that are pretty static in content. ## Experience So far the experience with Publish has been great! Making a small change, hitting a hotkey to publish the current note, and seeing it seconds later in the browser, has been the most satisfying write-to-publish pipelines I have had. *It is so fast, I don't need a preview.* If I find a problem after publishing, a typo to fix, it takes literally seconds for the whole fix-to-publish cycle!
