I would love to request “Hepta as a plugin” for Obsidian! Let me lay out my notes as cards on a canvas, let me draw arrows between them, and then let me use the wikilinks to jump around. If I click on a wikilink for a card that is not yet on the canvas, place it there. https://twitter.com/Heptabase/status/1437781867474849798?s=20&t=k9DmtYEpoMQgkSUGN9zflw

+1 Seriously, this is a great idea, someone work on this

Another interesting new software tool is unigraph https://unigraph.dev/ ; a similar plug-in for obsidian might be also of interest !

Up until now, plugins trying to “embed” obsidian own editor functionalities (like kanban and excalidraw) have to replicate the parsing and logic themselves. I think to fully allow an heptabase-like plugin to exist is the ability to iframe multiple full obsidian editor view. Obsidian editor view must become embaddable and “aware” of it’s surrounding so as to allow graceful resizing and two way communication.

I would totally love the support to make such a plugin possible, but then whole functionality won’t be further enriched by the community. If the functionality becomes core however, then plugins and full community can further enrich the experience :wink:

Scrintal is working on import and export to Obsidian, for even more powerful visuals. https://twitter.com/scrintal/status/1490408810283814912?s=20&t=n5YKRo--BPyeEdhiIaSKug

There’s something AMAZING about this concept. Maybe the Obsidian devs should pay more attention to this, you’re onto something big…
