    I only use four so:

    • Dataview.
    • DB folder (nice for ex-Notion users!)
    • Tracker
    • Omnivore!!

    Omnivore is amazing. I moved away from Pocket and I have been super happy. It’s a read it later app and has full integration with Obsidian. Love the highlight option! You highlight what you like in Omnivore and it moves the parts into Obsidian. I have a folder for all in Obisidan and then use Dataview to create MoCs of these article per topic.

    My top 5 is:

    • Linter: To automatize the formating of my notes
    • Text Snippets: For creating text-based triggers to things like Callouts
    • Commander: To customize wich buttons do what in my ribbons and button panels
    • Recent files: So I can have a small history of navigation available when needed.
    • Note Refactor: To easily separate a big chuncky note into smaller ones (divide, union, auto-add backlinks, etc.)

    I’m pretty vanilla with my plugins:

    • Omnisearch - disclaimer, I’m the main dev
    • ReadItLater - a scraper to quickly save articles that I reference in my own notes
    • Excalidraw
    • Linter - mainly to automatically format my notes with a createdAt metadata and an h1 title
    • Dataview - I don’t use it extensively but I have a few js snippets to query external APIs like Github or Mastodon

    I try to avoid plugins that stray from “standard” markdown, to not rely on Obsidian.

    • Dynamic Table Of Contents
      • Does what it sounds like it does
    • Quick Explorer
      • Perform file explorer operations and see your current file path from the titlebar.
    • Style Settings
      • In Obsidian CSS editor for themes that support it
    • Tag Wrangler
      • Rename, merge, toggle, and search tags from the tag pane

    Those are the only plugins I use, so I’m looking forward to the rest of this thread :D

      Would you say there’s need to use MarkDownload now that Obsidian handles copy+paste from web pages better than in the olden days?

      I used MarkDownload a few years ago, but these days I mainly copy webpage contents and paste it into Obsidian. Is there an upshot to using MarkDown instead of doing it my way?

    I don’t have a complex enough workflow to need a lot of plugins, but I really really like Dataview. Templater and Buttons will probably be really high on my list too if I get around to actually using them.

        Well, right now I don’t use it.

        But if I did I would use it to create new pages with special templates, then I can format a home page with all the buttons, and dataview queries to sort and organize the new pages.

        Something like a journal where a button might be “Daily entry” and another for “New Project Page” or “New Task” or something.

        It also might work really well for taking notes in DnD. (Quick “new character/place/item page” buttons right in the session notes page.) I’ll have to experiment with templates again this summer.
