I currently use Papier for my new tab page to have top of mind ideas readily accessible. I realized it would be amazing to have this be my roam vault.
Thinking there could be some options like whether it should open to a specific page, a single note, or …?
Not sure if obsidian has a web client / runs on electron, but this would be sick.
I don’t think there is any way to do that at the moment, though I could see that being possible (maybe) if you stored your notes in google drive, and the new tab could query a file in the vault, then display and maybe edit it. I doubt such a thing exists yet, but it would technically be possible. I would suggest moving this to #get-help or #knowledge-management , since any integration would just be linking a new tab page to wherever your vault is stored, so not including any obsidian plugin.
Have you tried putting the site/page in an iframe. Create a new note and put something like this is it:
<iframe src="https:theusr" style="width=80%;height=70%"></iframe>
you can adjust the width/height to what works for you. You can also have obsidian content above/below this.
I think they mean making an obsidian note a new tab page for chrome, not sure how iframe helps with this?
Building a custom new tab extension for Roam sounds like a cool project! If you’re interested in going that route, check out Chrome extension development guides. They’ll walk you through the process of creating a Chrome extension that could integrate with Roam’s web client and potentially provide the functionality you’re looking for.
While Obsidian doesn’t offer a direct web client, you can achieve a similar experience using third-party integrations or even by creating a custom web application. Exploring options like WebDAV servers or cloud storage integrations can provide web-based access to your Obsidian vault. If you’re comfortable with programming, building a custom web application tailored to your specific needs can offer maximum flexibility.
