I really struggle to leverage the supercharged links and projects plugins as well as I want to. A lot of awesome features came out after I already had a lot of notes, and going back to align them to the new options is a lot more work than I’ve had time to do unfortunately, and it’s kinda frustrating :sweat_smile: sometimes I wish I hadn’t started using Obsidian until my next kid instead of my first one, hehe.

BRAT is the best “plugin you use with other plugins” example, I think. It’s great for beta-testing plugins and using unlisted plugins.
