Quartz Script Tip

Since you have 41 categories in D1 but only want 4 folders in Quartz, update your Python script with a mapping dictionary:

Python

MAPPING = {
    "archive": "collections", "assets": "collections", "blogroll": "collections", 
    "books": "collections", "dictionary": "collections", "library": "collections", 
    "links": "collections", "listography": "collections", "lists": "collections", 
    "reference": "collections", "for my website": "collections",
    "apps": "garden", "design": "garden", "etymology": "garden", 
    "fediverse": "garden", "github": "garden", "instances": "garden", 
    "llm": "garden", "music": "garden", "nekoweb": "garden",

    "to post": "system", "to sort": "system", "taxonomy": "system", 
    "tags-list": "system", "protonmail": "system", "google docs": "system"
}

# Inside your loop:
folder = MAPPING.get(category.lower(), "garden")

No, that list accounted for 37 items. You have 41 distinct terms in your original list (including a duplicate for apps).

I have reconciled your full list below into the 4-folder system, ensuring every single one of your 41 entries is categorized.
