new project — defuddle > de·fud·dle /diˈfʌdl/ transitive verb > to remove unnecessary elements from a web page, and make it easily readable. Inspired by my work on Obsidian Web Clipper I created Defuddle, an open source library to replace Mozilla's Readability in my projects. Defuddle extracts the main content from web pages. It's a bit more forgiving and tunable to my preferences. Notably, Defuddle uses a website's mobile styles to find unnecessary elements that can be removed from the page. still a work in progress but you can try it out in Obsidian Web Clipper 0.10.9, or install it via NPM

perhaps it's more accurate to call personal notes an ecosystem rather than a garden — the most memetic notes survive if a note is memetic enough it spreads to other notes as a link... if a note is never linked from/to it slowly becomes extinct

Fractal journaling and random revisit I use Obsidian’s unique note hotkey to write individual thoughts as they come up throughout the day. This automatically creates a note with the prefix YYYY-MM-DD HHmm to which I may append a title that describes the idea. Every few days I review these journal fragments and compile the salient thoughts. I then review these reviews monthly and yearly. Each time I pull out the most useful things, and draw connections where relevant. Yearly this takes the form of "40 questions to ask yourself every year". The result is a fractal web of my life that I can zoom in and out of at varying degrees of detail. I can trace back where individual thoughts came from, and how they bubbled up into bigger themes. 1/2

what feature should we remove from Obsidian? - something old that no longer serves its purpose - something that could be a plugin - something you never use - ?

there's been a sharp acceleration in Obsidian community plugin submissions, in part due to the rise of AI coding tools it's a "good problem to have" but it's overwhelming our review process — our human reviewers can't keep up what should we do? 1. lower the bar for plugin review, introduce more community heuristics 2. invest in AI code-review tools to try and automate the process (not easy) 3. ?
