New Obsidian Plugins, Guides, & Updates
Obsidian Ninja: Issue 5
New Plugins
Mindmap: This plugin allows lets you create Mindmaps in your notes
Painter: This plugin allows you to add highlights to your plain text notes. You have the option to choose different kinds of highlight style like underline, text-color change, floating, etc. This is the fork of another popular plugin called highlightr with some added features.
Slides Extended: This is a fork of Advanced slides plugin. The developer talked about stopping the development. You can switch to this plugin if you were using it already.
Slurp: Slurp lets you add webpages as clean, uncluttered markdown notes. “Think Pocket, but better”, that's what the developer writes.
Obsidian Grind Manager: This plugin lets you gamify task management in Obsidian with rewards, and points system just like in games. I'm trying to gamify my life based on what I've learned from George Mack. I'm excited to see how this plugin evolves in the future.
