Whaw. Nice idea and implementation. I don’t know yet if I would have a use case on my vault to use this but I will remember when I will.

The idea is simply genius! Perfect for my use case. Only thing is how/where do you get such beatiful, customized templates? Would it break with future updates?

You can easily get it made by LLMs (give them a screenshot of the webpage).

I will try my best to keep it updated so it will not break with future updates.. There are minor bugs (in the settings menu) that I’m fixing right now, though.

Really appreciating this plugin, I have a few little use cases for it and it works wonderfully!

I’ve had good luck with adding the Github link to Google Gemini AI and utilizing that to assist my very poor programming abilities. I greatly appreciate that you can run Javascript codes as well in this.

There are a few bugs to work out, but otherwise this is a well thought-out plugin.

Quick question – have there been thoughts to adding a {{file.backlinks}} property? I would love to implement that in some of my notes but so far have been unsuccessful with the use of Javascript.
