Share your top 5 most used or favorite plugins!
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
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
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
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
+1 for advanced tables! Really helpful.
