This Week in Obsidian - A new weekly newsletter for Obsidian users

Hi community members!

I have been an Obsidian user for several years and found there is always something interesting to share with others. So, I started a weekly newsletter called This Week in Obsidian https://thisweekinobsidian.substack.com on Substack to collect and share the interesting things I find in the Obsidian community.

I know the Obsidian Roundup newsletter existed before, but it doesn’t seem to be active anymore. I want to fill that gap. I know it’s easy to start a project but hard to maintain it long-term. However, I started this newsletter almost two months ago and have published 7 issues so far. My workflow is now very efficient, taking only 1-2 hours per issue, so I believe I can sustain it.

The latest issue is Issue#7: This Week in Obsidian #07 - This Week in Obsidian

If you are interested, feel free to subscribe and share your thoughts with me. Any suggestions are welcome! The newsletter content is open source in this GitHub repository: GitHub - boundless-forest/this-week-in-obsidian: Weekly obsidian newsletter every Tuesday

I hope you like it and look forward to your feedback! It gives me the motivation to keep it going!

The 10th weekly newsletter of This Week in Obsidian is ready. You can check it out here: This Week in Obsidian #10 - This Week in Obsidian.

This week’s plugin gem is HiNote GitHub - CatMuse/HiNote: Add comments to highlighted notes, use AI for thinking, and flashcards for memory., which allows you to add comments to highlighted notes and use AI for thinking and flashcards for memory. It has some cool features like one-click exports to shareable knowledge-card images or new linked notes. If you annotate heavily or turn highlights into study material, this one is worth a spin.

This issue features a fascinating post https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/comments/1rg5kej/retroma_pokémon_firered_leafgreen_vault from Reddit about a Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen themed Obsidian vault—a really impressive piece of work. I hope you’ll find it as enjoyable as I did.

This week’s plugin gem is Codeblock Customizer GitHub - mugiwara85/CodeblockCustomizer: Codeblock Customizer plugin for Obsidian · GitHub, which allows you to turn plain code blocks into themed blocks with headers, filenames, line numbers, folding, tabs, inline highlights, and even terminal-style prompts. It’s a great way to make your technical notes easier to read and present. You can try it out if your vault includes code-heavy notes, tutorials, or docs.
