Hi,
I developed a plugin for creating a curated list of important tags to serve as meaningful entry points to your knowledge base.
It has now been submitted to the community plugin store and is currently under review. Welcome to test it and provide feedback!
Features
Tag Index solves the problem of tag overload by giving you a dedicated space for your most important tags:
- Curated Tag Collection: Create a personalized list of your most important tags separate from Obsidian’s default tag pane
- Multiple Addition Methods: Add tags from the editor, default tag pane, or more in the future
- Visual Organization: Rearrange tags via intuitive drag and drop
- Quick Note Access: Click any tag to instantly see all notes using that tag
- Content Preview: Hover over note names to preview their content without opening them
- Customizable Behavior: Choose whether new tags are added to the top or bottom of your list
Why Tag Index?
The default Obsidian tag pane can quickly become overwhelming for several reasons:
- Tag Overload: As your vault grows, so does your tag list, creating visual chaos and making it difficult to find important tags
- External Syncing: When syncing notes from external tools, unnecessary tags can clutter your tag pane
- No Prioritization: The default tag pane treats all tags equally, with no way to highlight your most important ones
- Limited Entry Points: Methods like the Zettelkasten (slip-box) require clear entry points to your knowledge system, which a cluttered tag pane can’t provide
- Inefficient Navigation: While you can click tags in the default pane to search for them, this workflow isn’t optimized for frequent access
Tag Index solves these problems by giving you a dedicated space for the tags that matter most to you, with improved organization and navigation features.
