Just submitted my External PDF plugin to the Obsidian team.

Getting to grips with GitHub pull requests and then making sure that what I was submitting met the requirements took a bit of time. I don't think it'll get accepted straight away and I'll be given some review comment tasks to work on. I think this fills a small gap in functionality that is missing from Obsidian and might be useful to someone else. Which is why I'm sharing.

Just wrote my first Obsidian plugin. And it works! It allows me to embed pdf files external to the Obsidian vault - which couldn't seem to be done... until now. I've called it "Obsdian External PDF Plugin" (it does what it says on the tin). This is something I've been asking for help with for ages online without luck - so I decided to try and sort it out myself. Yay!

Interesting new Obsidian core plugin: Bases

You know when you remember someone in your timeline recommending a plugin for an app, then some time later you need to reinstall but can't find the recommendation again?

I need an #ObsidianPlugin that does good Readability checks?

I put some time into organizing my #ObsidianMD vault more. I'm early enough into using it that this wasn't too painful. I'm basically nudging it more toward keeping my notes organized with the #PARA method.

The big ugly part that I'm going to have a harder time reconciling is the public folder where everything under https://magnus919.com/notes lives. I should have been using slugs in the front matter. That would have helped avoid a lot of pain.

The other thing I wish I'd thought to do differently: my blog notes use tags: property, but everything else in my vault uses topics:. I might be in for some pain before I get that part sorted to my liking.

I picked up Tiago Forte's book "Building a Second Brain. And also "Digital Zettelkasten: Principles, Methods, & Examples" by David Kadavy.

And since I'm using the #ObsidianPlugin "Apple Books - Import Highlights" my notes and highlights will be in my vault (but now in a subfolder under _3 - Resources).

Hmmm, is there an #ObsidianMD plugin(read: rube Goldberg setup) that, when I make a new @ Person note, it will automatically check Wikipedia for a page similar and fill in information from their page and infoblock?

Also still looking for good Wikipedia importing plugins in general, likely just a good Wikipedia format to markdown importer
