So happy to see that Obsidian has a thriving plugin ecosystem. Been considering creating an Obsidian plugin as an excuse to learn typescript, but every time I wonder whether a plugin for $foo exists, the answer turns out to be yes.

Do it. TS is fun ;-) There's a lot yet to be done around Obsidian and LLMs, like extracting text from images, selecting text and generating images, etc

So Obsidian gets all the benefits of a thriving ecosystem, makes a lot more money and the plugin creators get none of the benefits? It's a bit unfair isn't it?

Seems totally legitimate to me. The plugin creater has a superb distributed editor with lots of capability that they choose to add to.

I note that obsidian itself is free. I pay for the built-in sync as that's cheaper than implementing it myself, and there are other paths to sending the developers money, but they're all optional.

I’ve been wanting an obsidian plug-in that deprecates text and it doesn’t exist.

Simple idea: mark entire notes or portions of notes as “deprecated” and then have a toggle button that shows/hides deprecated text.
