What is obsidian_blog_automation?

This project is a web interface that automates the process of saving blog posts into Obsidian, a note-taking application that stores notes as plain text files on your computer. The typical manual process involves copying article content, creating a new file in Obsidian, formatting it as markdown, and adding links to related notes by hand. This tool replaces all of that with a single step: paste a URL and click Import. When you submit a URL, the application fetches the article content from the web page, sends it to OpenAI's GPT-4 to extract a title, generate a summary, identify tags, and find related concepts, and then creates a properly formatted note file directly in your Obsidian vault. It also attempts to link the new note to related notes you already have, building connections automatically rather than requiring you to set them up manually. The interface includes a few other features beyond import. You can browse all the notes in your vault, view analytics for any note such as word count, which other notes link to it, and which notes it links out to, manage daily notes, and configure settings like your vault name and API key. Running it requires having Obsidian installed, an OpenAI API key for the AI processing, and a specific Obsidian plugin called Shell Commands to allow the application to interact with your vault files. You start a local web server using Node.js and open it in a browser. The application is built with Next.js and TypeScript. The README is detailed about the feature set and code structure but does not mention any license. The project has zero stars and no external contributors listed.
