So what is it?

This is a curated list of resources for Obsidian, a popular note-taking application that stores your notes as plain Markdown files on your own computer. The repository itself contains no software to install, it is a community-maintained directory of third-party tools, plugins, themes, and learning resources that extend or complement Obsidian. Obsidian lets you link notes together and visualize those connections as a graph, which appeals to people who want to build a personal knowledge base or "second brain." Because the application has an open plugin system, a large community of developers has built add-ons for it, and this list serves as a starting point for discovering them. The list is divided into several sections. The plugins section lists community-built Obsidian plugins with brief descriptions, covering things like day planning, flashcard creation with Anki, and running shell commands from within Obsidian. The external tools section covers tools that work alongside Obsidian rather than inside it: converters that pull notes in from Evernote, Google Keep, Notion, Roam, and other apps, browser extensions that let you clip web pages as Markdown files, and publishing tools that can turn an Obsidian vault into a static website or blog. There are also sections for CSS snippets (small code additions that change how Obsidian looks) and visual themes. The list also includes links to learning resources: YouTube channels, community forums, a weekly newsletter, and the official help documentation. A section for developers points to resources for building Obsidian plugins. The repository appears to reflect the state of the Obsidian ecosystem from roughly 2020 to 2022. Some of the linked projects may have moved, been superseded, or become inactive since then. The full README is longer than what was shown.
