Disclaimer - I haven’t used this, but it looks cool.
On my list of things to try is Pelican, a Python static website generator.
Input is Markdown, so it should be able to feed off of a subdirectory in an Obsidian vault.
It’s my understanding that parts, perhaps all, of mellel.com are created and maintained with Pelican.
Obsidian as front end for a website sounds pretty cool.
Or, Devonthink with an indexed location for Pelican.

You are quite right Bill. I find myself re-evaluating LogSeq as well. I abandoned it about a year ago, but I’ve come back to it in the last few days. Admittedly, it’s not an easy application, but I’m finding it more and more meaningful, especially the use of daily notes as a basis for background work and research. Logseq is evolving in a very interesting way and can be a good complement to other more formal applications. Also: all of us CRIMPERS have an undisguised weakness for outliners, to which we return again and again ;)

I seem to remember, many many years ago, reading ADM developer’s vision of the World Wide Outline or something to that effect.
Maybe deep inside we would like the world to be describable as (reducible to) a hierarchical outline.
But probably, as per David Weinberger, everything is miscellaneous.
We can at least try to maintain such simple structures (or the illusion thereof) in our own work, or at least in our current project, or at least in the task at hand, or at least in the document at hand, somewhere anyway…

Huzzah for outliners!
I’ve been using Reflect lately. As I mentioned in the friction thread, I find it more frictionless than most apps, although I honestly can’t put my finger on why. Partly it is due to the fact that it isn’t weighed down with a lot of features I don’t need, but that isn’t the only reason. It’s basis is daily notes, in which I can build outlines. It is far from a comprehensive outliner—no features (yet) like zooming into a topic. But it does allow folding of subtopics to tuck them out of the way. Still a work in progress, though.
