Obsidian Plugin of the Year 2020 nomination thread

Advanced Tables by Tony Grosinger

It makes Obsidian so much more powerful, because of the option to write tables comfortable. Just type |, a word and press tab. The table is there, no extra annoying | to write.

The plugin of the year 2020 has to go to Andy’s sliding panes!!!

and the best theme is 80s Neon by death.au!!!

I would like to nominate the following plugin:

author: Liam Cain
repo: https://github.com/liamcain/obsidian-calendar-plugin

Comment: I use this plugin basically every day.
It integrates very nicely with the rest of Obsidian and should IMO be part of the official core. It nothing really flashy or shiny but just keeps working solidly.

It’s so great. But i am confused about the reading problem, since each page’s title name are showed vertically, it’s not friendly to read each title quickly.

@fanhojo: this is not the thread to address this. Anyway, the verticality can be put back to horizontality using this toggle:

Sliding panes I like for general use, but Tables have been the game changer for my flow and tracking my Quarter and personal goals.

I can’t believe no one’s nominated Day Planner by JL yet.



This has been a gamechanger for my own workflow, and the customisation options help fit the day plan into many different ways of using it.

Where do you find that toggle?

@unsu: in the settings of the “sliding pane” plug-in.

How do you get the timeline for Day Planner displayed in a side panel? Don’t find anything in the settings. I’m using Minimal Theme.

EDIT: found it. There’s indeed a setting :flushed:.

There is a command to show the timeline which should load it in the side panel. You need to have an active day planner for content to be displayed in the timeline view.

Thank you! :blush:

Yes!!! This one! I use it every day of the week, cannot recommend it hard enough :slight_smile:

Might as well nominate Obsidian_to_Anki, though it’s more of a niche plugin! https://github.com/Pseudonium/Obsidian_to_Anki. It is one of the oldest plugins (was initially a python script).

As you can tell by the commit history, I’m very quick when it comes to updates and feature releases, when I’m not busy with uni! A lot of love and effort has been poured into this.

Nominating Quick Switcher++ by @shydlou

I often take it for granted that it’s not built-in to Obsidian core. It’s a wonderful plugin that supercharges the quick switcher. While I use a lot of plugins, QS++ is one I use every day.

Plus I’m proud of the ctrl-n / ctrl-p keyboard shortcuts :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Surprised it hasn’t been nominated yet and not sure if it’s too late, but I’ll nominate @ryanjamurphy’s Review plugin.

Paired with Daily Notes, this is an elegant building block for task management, and makes me excited for the future of organizational plugins in Obsidian.

Plugin name: Citations

I really like this plugin to connect my Zotero library. I like adding an item for one paper with an abstract. Then, I read carefully the abstract and connect existing items or make a new note for such as new terminology.
