I’m hoping somebody more skilled at programming than I might want to take on building an http://are.na plug-in for obsidian.
One was recently made for logseq GitHub - jellea/logseq-arena-plugin: Unofficial Are.na plugin for Logseq. After playing around with the are.na node wrapper GitHub - ivangreene/arena-js: are.na API wrapper for JavaScript and templater I was able to get some basic functionality working, however my js knowledge is very limited.
Proposed functionality
- chooser to search and select public are.na channels by keyword
- chooser to list and select personal channels by keyword
- get channel blocks by type
- add channel block content to obsidian note using formatted templates (block.id, block.title, block.url, block.image.link, etc)
- make new obsidian notes for each block using formatted templates
- list are.na connected channels / blocks
- publish selected obsidian note to are.na as markdown
Benefits
- easy to discover related connections outside of your note content
- easy to add images, links, videos to notes without saving files, drag dropping etc
- easy to bookmark content on mobile via are.na apps
