Cheese Bytes Enhancements 2026

Cheese Bytes is already live! I just need to continue working on it to add the missing parts I want to include.

This note lists all the features added during 2025 and 2026 that were not part of the initial release (Initial features described in Publishing Obsidian Notes in Astro).

• Callouts with style. See Admonitions in Cheese Bytes.
• Ranking using fresh/medium/old cheeses. See Type of Notes.
• Marimo plugin. See any of these notes:
  • How Grid Choices Can Mislead Your Choropleth Maps
  • A Random Experiment with Marimo Islands
  • Marimo Iframe Notebook Test
• List of linked pages: in and out links. See at the bottom of this page.
• Improve content collection and speed up build time.
• Wikilinks with aliases.
• Web controls with keyboard. See CheeseBytes Vim Mode.
  • t to change the theme.
  • w to toggle between wide and normal layout.
  • s to toggle the sidebar.
  • f to search for a note.
  • ? to show the list of available controls. They are updated depending on the context (the components that are currently on focus).
• Theme improvements.
• Sidebar improvements: better styling, fixed main pages on top.
• Wide layout.
• Easter eggs ;)

I’ve also considered adding the following features, but I haven’t decided yet:

• ToC on right hand panel. This might be useful to navigate long pages, but it might also be too much clutter on the UI. Also, big pages are a smell that they should be split into smaller pages, so maybe it’s better to just do that instead of adding a ToC.
• Small note connectivity graph in right hand panel. Same as above, plus it’s not very useful if we already have the list on links at the bottom of the page.
• Tag support. I don’t really use tags, see How Cheese Bytes is Organized.
