Nice to see people so involved with Obsidian here!
OK, these are my favourite five plugins per category. The links lead to a blog post I've written where I detail what each plugin does and from where they can be downloaded, both via GitHub and via Obsidian desktop:
Omnivore is amazing. I moved away from Pocket and I have been super happy. It’s a read it later app and has full integration with Obsidian. Love the highlight option! You highlight what you like in Omnivore and it moves the parts into Obsidian. I have a folder for all in Obisidan and then use Dataview to create MoCs of these article per topic.
It does! I’ll attach a screenshot (iOS app). And thanks for that idea. I bookmark in Mona and then I forgot and never look at them. Sending them to Omnivore is a great idea!
Thanks! I just tried Omnivore, but it appears that highlighted images are broken in Obsidian; these images don't link to the original image but rather through Omnivore's own proxy, which (for me) breaks the images.
I prefer the Pocket > Readwise > Obsidian route, meaning I use the Readwise plugin in Obsidian. It costs a pretty penny but doesn't send images through a proxy...
Ha! Yup, unlike Obsidian you need to put two new lines for a new line. I believe it's standard markdown formatting, which Obsidian doesn't strictly follow.
I don't have a complex enough workflow to need a lot of plugins, but I really really like Dataview. Templater and Buttons will probably be really high on my list too if I get around to actually using them.
But if I did I would use it to create new pages with special templates, then I can format a home page with all the buttons, and dataview queries to sort and organize the new pages.
Something like a journal where a button might be "Daily entry" and another for "New Project Page" or "New Task" or something.
It also might work really well for taking notes in DnD. (Quick "new character/place/item page" buttons right in the session notes page.) I'll have to experiment with templates again this summer.
Would you say there's need to use MarkDownload now that Obsidian handles copy+paste from web pages better than in the olden days?
I used MarkDownload a few years ago, but these days I mainly copy webpage contents and paste it into Obsidian. Is there an upshot to using MarkDown instead of doing it my way?
tasks
If they ever implement mobile notifications I'll be using reminder, and a plugin to sync tasks wo next cloud tasks (can't remember which one, if I find it again I'll update my post)
