Libellus1 is part of a process of reappropriating my archives and exploring automatically generated static systems with Jekyll, deployed from GitHub. This kind of architecture offers autonomy and sustainability: it removes dependency on commercial platforms, reduces the server’s energy consumption, and ensures direct control over content, code, and its long‑term preservation.

The Jekyll theme of Libellus originated from Tale, although in its current state it retains only the minimal structure of the base theme. The color palette is inspired by Flexoki by Steph Ango, and the design adopts principles of functional minimalism similar to those of Steph’s website. From the Kepano ecosystem, the Image Grid developed for Obsidian has been integrated (as always, thanks, Steph). Finally, a custom Ruby plugin, developed ex novo, rewrites Obsidian wikilinks and syntax to ensure semantic and structural compatibility between Jekyll, the Obsidian vault, and web publication on lab.marconoris.com via Publish.

  1. Libellus: from Latin, diminutive of liber (book), ‘little book’, booklet; a small volume for notes, poems, epigrams, or brief treatises. Today, Libellus is a living notebook: an archive in motion, notes along the way, and pieces that, together, form a larger body.
