    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.

    • Text Snippets: For creating text-based triggers to things like Callouts
    • Commander: To customize wich buttons do what in my ribbons and button panels
    • Recent files: So I can have a small history of navigation available when needed.
    • Note Refactor: To easily separate a big chuncky note into smaller ones (divide, union, auto-add backlinks, etc.)

    • Dynamic Table Of Contents
      • Does what it sounds like it does
    • Quick Explorer
      • Perform file explorer operations and see your current file path from the titlebar.
    • Style Settings
      • In Obsidian CSS editor for themes that support it
    • Tag Wrangler
      • Rename, merge, toggle, and search tags from the tag pane

    Those are the only plugins I use, so I’m looking forward to the rest of this thread :D

    Tough call honestly. I think those that I genuinely could not live without are:

    • Dataview
    • Tasks
    • Quickview
    • Advanced Tables
    • Sync (If core plugins don’t count, Hover Editor)
  • 0xSim@fedia.io

    I’m pretty vanilla with my plugins:

    • Omnisearch - disclaimer, I’m the main dev
    • ReadItLater - a scraper to quickly save articles that I reference in my own notes
    • Excalidraw
    • Linter - mainly to automatically format my notes with a createdAt metadata and an h1 title
    • Dataview - I don’t use it extensively but I have a few js snippets to query external APIs like Github or Mastodon

    I try to avoid plugins that stray from “standard” markdown, to not rely on Obsidian.

        Ha! Yup, unlike Obsidian you need to put two new lines for a new line. I believe it’s standard markdown formatting, which Obsidian doesn’t strictly follow.

          I think you can even turn it on somewhere in Obsidian’s settings… Not sure why anyone would use it, but it is there

    • Periodic Notes
    • Templater (works really well with Periodic Notes)
    • QuickAdd
    • Dataview
    • I made my own plugin to convert all pngs in my vault into slightly compressed jpgs (as long as there’s no transparent pixels in the image)

    (just tried omnisearch because of this post and it’s such a good plugin)

      Would you say there’s need to use MarkDownload now that Obsidian handles copy+paste from web pages better than in the olden days?

      I used MarkDownload a few years ago, but these days I mainly copy webpage contents and paste it into Obsidian. Is there an upshot to using MarkDown instead of doing it my way?
