I'm a fan of Obsidian and your work but dark mode only is an issue for a big percentage of the population. https://medium.com/@h_locke/why-dark-mode-causes-more-access...
The app has had light mode since 2020 :) Obsidian is a small team and I am pretty much the only person working on the website but I hope to add it soon.
(also applied to work with you!)
Very cool. Shame the website is dark mode only which only makes it harder to read for people with astigmatism.
Reader mode in Firefox is one click to dark text on a white background. Presumably other browsers have the same thing.

Confirmed: https://obsidian.md/help/plugin-security#Plugin+capabilities There is no sandboxing at all. Every plugin has full access to your computer.
Is there auto-updating of plug-ins? Installing a plug-in and reviewing its code at that point is one thing. But if the plug-in can be updated withut you knowing, then there’s little guarantee of security.

It works for blog posts and articles but not anything more complex than that.
I don't use Obsidian, and my assumption when I saw the title was I guess they're gonna be limiting it to a small set of corporate-blessed plugins . I've come to expect that "The Future Of XYZ" titles from software companies means severely limiting XYZ or preparing XYZ for a shut down!
Very interesting. This is real-world proof that automated plugin reviews is doable for a small team. Sooner or later I'll have to learn how to implement a similar system for my own projects.
Obsidian CEO here. We've been working for nearly a year to launch this new Community site and review system. I'm very excited about this first version but there are many more improvements to come. I've tried to be exhaustive with the blog post, FAQs, and next steps on our roadmap, but I am sure I forgot some things, so feel free to ask! This has been an incredibly challenging project for a number of reasons. We're on…

I want to use Obsidian... but I won't as long as it's not open source. I know I can keep all my files as plain text, but that's not enough for me. Using a KB on a daily basis shapes my workflows and having to change that from one day to another (e.g., because maybe Obsidian changes in a way I don't like) is too much for me. I could already handle all my plain txt files using simply the file system, but of course I wo…
Trusted source > open-source As long as it's trusted, there is no lock-in, and the model supports maintaining the software, what do you have to lose?
For those not aware, it has basically been impossible to submit new plugins due to the manual review (and how easy/fun it is to write a plugin with AI). The developer community was becoming increasingly frustrated, and the team was burning out under the load. So congrats to the team! This relieves a huge scaling bottleneck. It has been really cool to see how y'all build and scale.
Got any cool plugins you recommend? I'm finally getting comfortable after switching from OneNote and getting sync set up.
