This is a web app for Fabric. It was built using [Svelte][svelte], [SkeletonUI][skeleton], and [Mdsvex][mdsvex].
The goal of this app is to not only provide a user interface for Fabric, but also an out-of-the-box website for those who want to get started with web development, blogging, or to just have a web interface for fabric. You can use this app as a GUI interface for Fabric, a ready to go blog-site, or a website template for your own projects.

## Installing
There are a few days to install and run the Web UI.
### From Source
#### TL;DR: Convenience Scripts
To install the Web UI using `npm`, from the top-level directory:
```bash
./web/scripts/npm-install.sh
```
To use pnpm (preferred and recommended for a huge speed improvement):
```bash
./web/scripts/pnpm-install.sh
```
The app can be run by navigating to the `web` directory and using `npm install`, `pnpm install`, or your preferred package manager. Then simply run `npm run dev`, `pnpm run dev`, or your equivalent command to start the app. *You will need to run fabric in a separate terminal with the `fabric --serve` command.*
Using npm:
```bash
# Install the GUI and its dependencies
npm install
# Install PDF-to-Markdown components in this order
npm install -D patch-package
npm install -D pdfjs-dist
npm install -D github:jzillmann/pdf-to-markdown#modularize
npx svelte-kit sync
# Now, with "fabric --serve" running already, you can run the GUI
npm run dev
```
Using pnpm:
```bash
# Install the GUI and its dependencies
pnpm install
# Install PDF-to-Markdown components in this order
pnpm install -D patch-package
pnpm install -D pdfjs-dist
pnpm install -D github:jzillmann/pdf-to-markdown#modularize
pnpm exec svelte-kit sync
# Now, with "fabric --serve" running already, you can run the GUI
pnpm run dev
```
## Tips
When creating new posts make sure to include a date, description, tags, and aliases. Only a date is needed to display a note.
You can include images, tags to other articles, code blocks, and more all within your markdown files.
## Obsidian
If you choose to use Obsidian alongside this app,
you can design and order your vault however you like, though a `posts` folder should be kept in your vault to house any articles you'd like to post.
