Share my note with link

Use case or problem

I love Obsidian and I use it a lot. I take my university notes with Obsidian and I want to share a link in my friend who want to study the notes of the class and I can’t. But in any other app you can for example notion, Google docs etc.

Also I don’t want to publish all my vault, I want to send just a note. To export with pdf isn’t a good way because I can’t do it from mobile and isn’t updated.

Proposed solution

For premium user, you could create a feature where you can share with link your note and manage the access. For example I have the note math 1 and I want to share it in my friend.

I press the share button, link goes to my clipboard, I go to the messaging app I want and I share it to my friend. The URL have the format for example obsidian.md/notes/username/unique-id

My friend open the link and Obsidian in reader mode opens. We can only read the doc and do nothing.

I have a plugin which does exactly this, and supports your full note theme and styles, as well as rendered Dataview queries and almost anything else in a note.

The notes are encrypted on your device before being shared, so the contents are completely safe from prying eyes.

Search for “Share Note” in the community plugins.

You can see a demo of what a shared note looks like here: Example shared note

It’s seem nice and cool plugin! I understand must hosted in my server to works.

I think is awesome work, but the obsidian team must do something core, because we pay $8 just for sync, it’s expensive and i want to see more features for premium users.

No need to host any server, there’s already a server set up - free to use.

And how you will pay the server bills? You will have small donation or small annual subscription like $0.5 for one year?

I already own the server for other projects. The cost to me is $0 for this project. I’ve been running the service for over a year now.
