Maybe GitHub - artem-barmin/obsidian-tree-edit: Ginko-style text editing is this your github address?

I wonder if development is going on…

that seems like the correct one. As far as I know the project is still in progress!
I’m also super excited about this project coming to life. I just contacted @artem and either him or myself will definitely keep you guys updated on the progress!

Is the kanban plugin not a nice starting point for such a plugin?
Let’s define 6 levels (columns) to start with with each using a H1 … H6 heading as a column definition. So the first column shows all H1 levels, second all H2 levels, and so on.

Maybe deeper structures are needed but it might be a nice start.

The columns should be generated automatically and showing all relevant lower headings. Like Ginko the other levels might be subdued.

Not sure how the drag-and-drop would work and how difficult it would be to select the underlying headers.

Obsidian MarkMind now supports showing the embedded note content in mind map view, which might be of interest to have a look at.

I just talked to @artem unfortunately he is in the middle of the Ukraine crisis, so as you can understand he is dealing with a lot right now.

Which is why he asked me to see if anyone is interested to become a contributor to this project.


He told me the plugin is almost finished, he needs someone to help add it to Obsidian’s community plugins.

As well as help with documentation and possibly help with updates and bugs. (I’m not sure of all the details)

Let me know if you are interested I’ll put you in contact with him

Thanks guys!

Thanks for the update! Hope you’re safe @artem!

It might be a good idea to pitch this call to the discord (particularly in #plugin-dev). There might be more people there that would be interested

Santi, did your message get any replies?

I tried this plugin out for the first time today. It’s very promising but has rough edges that will need to be smoothed out before it can be submitted.

Hi all. If you would like to try the plugin as-is:

  1. Install BRAT. You’ll find it in Commuunity plugins as Obsidian42 - BRAT
  2. Enable BRAT
  3. Use the BRAT command: Add Beta Plugin
  4. In the field that appears, enter hungsu/obsidian-tree-edit
  5. Enable Tree Edit
  6. Create a brand new note
  7. From command palette, find the command: Tree edit: Writing and editing in the form of a ginko tree

You’re done!

Note that there are many issues. The most notable is that saving using the plugin will mangle some content, and destroy others

Things that will be destroyed:

  • Content that is not under a heading

Things that will get mangled:

  • YAML front matter
  • Wikilinks
  • Tasks

If you encounter problems, for now please mention them here in the forum thread

I wrote a post on Card-based Writing in Obsidian Using Kanban which isn’t tree-structured, but at least is native Obsidian
