Ask HN: What side projects landed you a job?

I made a theme for Obsidian linked below. As a result I got to know the founders, and helped design the 1.0 version of the app. This eventually led me to join the company as CEO. I had previously founded and run two startups, so that helped too.

I love your writings, and I quote a lot of you while helping others, especially on simplicity, text-based file organization, etc.

And the only theme I have on my Obsidian setup is Minimal. Thank you again for your work with Obsidian.

I use Obsidian extensively to organize my life. A big thank from me to the entire team! The only thing I wish it had out of the box was web clipping. I know there are few third party extensions but I havn't found one that works seamlessly

Yo that's awesome! I've been using Obsidian for some time, and it's absolutely superb. Since I started using it after the 1.0 release, what did it look like before the redesign?

Nice work. Obsidian is awesome.

Obsidian Sync has saved me a few times too. The only thing it lacks for my usage is an API. I just want a clean way to backup my notes to my own storage.

Same, I've been using this cron script for that: https://github.com/allen-munsch/obsidian-daily-cron/tree/mai...

Yeah I tend to use Obsidian on mobile alot so I was thinking of just running a minimal linux VM with just X windows installed on my homelab and utilising a script like the one you posted.

Started using Obsidian a couple months back but the default line-spacing was really bothering me, I'm pretty sure I found your theme looking for something with better line spacing and I've been using it since, so thank you.
