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:

For work

For private use

So far just

  • templated
  • 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)

I only use four so:

  • Dataview.
  • DB folder (nice for ex-Notion users!)
  • Tracker
  • Omnivore!!

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.

@bowreality @JeremyT Does Omnivore save Mastodon posts/threads pretty well? I use Readwise and it doesn’t parse Mastodon very well at all.

@pam @bowreality @JeremyT @obsidianmd GoodLinks works very well to save Mastodon threads

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

@baillargg @bowreality @JeremyT @obsidianmd Thanks! So far it seems Omnivore grabs a whole Mastodon thread (with Readwise it’s hit or miss… mostly miss). I like that I can sync my Omnivore highlights to my Obsidian. Will continue comparing the two (Readwise/Omnivore). I will check out GoodLinks!

Oh good question. I need to try that

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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!

@bowreality ooo thanks, I’d appreciate a screenshot! I’m starting to consider Omnivore over Readwise Reader.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I don’t know readwise but omnivore is free so try it! I looooove it!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I use five now. I added projects.

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...

Mine does well with pics. I’ll attach a screenshot

  • Gemmy (I am not kidding it brighten the mood)
  • Underline
  • Calendar
  • Dataview
  • Tasks

Yes, I am not pushing the app to the max, I'd say I'm more of an average person

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm pretty vanilla with my plugins:

  • Omnisearch - disclaimer, I'm the main dev
  • ReadItLater - a scraper to quickly save articles that I reference in my own notes
  • Excalidraw
  • Linter - mainly to automatically format my notes with a createdAt metadata and an h1 title
  • Dataview - I don't use it extensively but I have a few js snippets to query external APIs like Github or Mastodon

I try to avoid plugins that stray from "standard" markdown, to not rely on Obsidian.

@0xSim
Interesting, do you mind sharing how you access external APIs from #DataView?

I use probably 7 or 8 plugins in total but these are the ones I couldn't live without:

  • Templater
  • Advanced Tables
  • Natural Language Dates
  • Text Snippets
  • Todoist Plugin
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

+1 for advanced tables! Really helpful.
