Hi, I am Toby. I started using Obsidian because I love the fact that I can customize it to whatever I like. I stared use it as my main note taking app, but I felt a lot of frictions editing my notes, including creating a checkbox, moving lines around, and more importantly the image resizing and arrangement.
So I created Better Edit, that includes:
- Image Arrangement: resize, crop, alignment, image rows (with css flexbox), etc
- Block drag and drop: should work as you might expect. Clicking the handle shows options to delete, create copy, and turn into
- Slash commands: customizable commands, including inserting a template or execute an registered command
- Text styling: should just work as you might expect
- Emoji/symbol picker : should just work as you might expect
Note that the image feature is achieved by pure html/css. This means that your image edits stays even without the plugin turned on. Better Edit only help editing, it does not touch rendering. The html/css will be fully portable, to platforms that can render them. Note that some platforms like GitHub disable inline css fully, so the rendering does not work.

Just a disclaimer that AI tools are involved in the development. I do have JavaScript and frontend/backend backgrounds and have reviewed the codebase. I did spend a lot to time polishing all details but never felt enough, so I figure it’s a good idea to share this plugin with others and collect some feedbacks. I know adding all 5 features altogether is kind of ambitious. Any feedback or advices are welcome!
Thank you for you attention!
