Obsidian CEO here. There is a major update coming soon for plugin security. I think it will address many of the concerns people have raised in this thread. It's a hard problem but we are working on it. That said, the headline is mislea

The text of the license itself reads as AI slop, which is not the most encouraging. One of the first items in the license is an exception for the author's employer(?) > "Migros Exception: Migros-Genossenschafts-Bund and its Aff

Make sure to set your Obsidian folder to "Keep downloaded" on iCloud for every device. Otherwise iCloud automatically deletes files locally to save space on your device. It's a terrible default and Apple doesn't provide

There's an Obsidian extension for Pandoc so you can convert your Obsidian notes to any other format. https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/pull/11135 There are a number of basic errors in this report, but since

Perhaps the home page is more useful than the spec to explain the purpose of the file format: https://jsoncanvas.org/ See also the original inspiration for the format: https://obsidian.md/canvas

I'm not sure why it popped up today, but it's nice to see it on HN again! A brief timeline with some links to past discussions: - 2022: The .canvas open format was created for Obsidian Canvas [0]. - 2024: Official 1.0 spec of JSON

A file node can be a .canvas, so a .canvas can have nested canvases. Obsidian's implementation of JSON Canvas supports this.

Yes, I'd like to add that.

There's isn't an official one yet, but there are community options, or you could make your own. If you're wondering why this or that feature hasn't been added to Obsidian, remember we only have three full-time developers
