Bases turn notes into views October 9, 2026
Obsidian’s Bases turn a folder of notes into a database: you describe which notes to include, which properties to show, and how to sort them, and Obsidian draws a table or cards. Coffer reads the same Bases syntax and draws the same views on the site, so a base you build in Obsidian publishes as it is.
Write a base in a code block, as below, or embed a saved one with ![[Name.base]]. Every view here comes from this one block:
Newest Cards By topic

Every note is a Markdown file in src/content/notes/, with its images in the same folder. Write and link in Obsidian the way you normally would, and Vault CMS handles the rest: new notes get the right properties, renamed notes keep their old addresses working, and publishing is a commit. A new note. Create a note from the… Writing in Obsidian with Vault CMS October 6, 2026 Link one note to another the way you already do in Obsidian: type [[, pick the note, and keep writing. On the site, that link goes to the same note it opens in Obsidian, and in a wide window it opens beside the current note. Coffer reads links with Obsidian's own rules, so you never have to think about them: A name finds that note in any folder: Kaizen.… Links work the way they do in Obsidian October 5, 2026 A footnote makes you leave the sentence you're reading, find the note at the bottom of the page, and find your way back. A sidenote sits in the margin, level with the line that refers to it, so a glance is enough. In a note, write sidenotes as ordinary Markdown footnotes. Obsidian shows them as footnotes while you write, and the published note shows them in… Sidenotes keep context beside the text October 4, 2026 On a screen at least 1,024 pixels wide, following a link from one note to another doesn't replace the page. The linked note opens as a new pane to the right, and the note you came from stays where it was. Keep following links and the panes stack up. Older ones slide under newer ones and leave a narrow spine with their title, so you can always see the trail… Notes open beside each other October 3, 2026 A note in this notebook holds one idea. Its title says what the idea is, as a short claim rather than a topic: not "Habits" but "small changes outlast big ones". A title like that tells you what you'll find before you open it, and it reads well in the middle of a sentence when another note links to it. Keeping each note to one idea is what makes linking… A note is a unit of thought October 2, 2026 This note demonstrates all the markdown, extended markdown, and formatting features available in Coffer. Use it as both a reference guide and a showcase of what's possible. Basic Formatting.Text Emphasis.

The table’s “Days old” column is a formula: today’s date minus the note’s published date, in days. “Topic” is the note’s first tag, which the list view also groups by.
Filters with and, or and not; formulas that use properties, other formulas, and functions such as if(), now() and date(); text, number, date and list methods; file.hasTag(), file.inFolder() and file.hasLink(); sorting, grouping, limits and column summaries. Table, cards and list views draw as themselves, and other view types fall back to a table.
A base is drawn when the site is built, so it shows the notes as they were at that moment. It doesn’t change while someone reads the page.
