You can access the “markdown web” through SilverBullet directly. The idea of the the markdown web (we really need a better name) is simple: the Internet is a messy place — tracking everywhere, tons of banners and other stuff  lets bring it back to the basics. How about Markdown?
SilverBullet supports navigating this markdown web via cloud links, theyre simply wiki links that start with “💭 “. For instance: [[💭 silverbullet.md/SilverBullet]]. When you click one of these links, SilverBullet will simply pull in its content and present it to you in read-only mode (and do some clever internal link rewriting). What it does is simply fetch the link via HTTPs and postfix the url with `.md`, so [[💭 silverbullet.md/SilverBullet]] will fetch [this page](https://silverbullet.md/Silver%20Bullet.md). You can access all of the SilverBullet website this way, for instance heres the [[💭 silverbullet.md/CHANGELOG]].
To publish your own content this way, simply create an `index.md` on your host (this will be fetched as the main page), and publish all the rest of your content as `.md` files alongside it. Thats all theres to it.
