You should check out hyperpaper, and maybe let's build an obsidian plugin with similar functionality. The problem right now with obsidian is pen input lag atlea

  Hey, hyperpaper creator here! One of my long term dreams for the project is to make those pdfs usable as an input source for PKMs like Obsidian. I love the promise of full-featured PKMs (searchability, long-term retention) but I don't want to be on a laptop for hours curating and typing into them. An eInk tablet is my preferred note-taking and thinking device. The idea I want to eventually pursue is set up a service where you could sync your pdf (or send specific pages via email), have them OCRed (including dates and titles specifically since they already live in well-defined parts of the pages), and then ingest them into your PKM for long-term storage and recall Unfortunately Obsidian Cloud doesn't seem to have an API to support this at present, but I think it's theoretically feasible with Notion at least. Let me know if you build something like this :)

    That's actually really similar to the digital infrastructure I'm building for myself. It's deceptively hard. I also want automatic tagging and two way updating between PDFs and the filesystem on my laptop. You can contact me at shreyssecondbrain at gmail
