Obsidian Web: Connect your browser with your notes
Obsidian Web is an unofficial Chrome extension for Obsidian that allows users to seamlessly connect their browser with their notes. With this extension, users can create or add to existing entries in their notes with information they've found online.
One of the key features of Obsidian Web is the ability to configure templates, which allows users to customize how their content appears in their notes. Whether it's adding information beyond the page title, URL, or selected text, users can easily change the content they want to send to their notes on a case-by-case basis.
Another useful feature is Note Recall, which searches the user's notes to see if they have mentioned a particular page before. If so, Obsidian Web provides options to open the existing note in Obsidian or update it with new content.
Obsidian Web also offers Periodic Notes functionality, allowing users to append or patch their daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly notes. Users can modify the template to specify a different interval or insert content in a specific section of their daily note.
To get started, users need to install the Obsidian Web extension from the Chrome Web Store and enable the "Local REST API" plugin from the Community Plugins section in Obsidian. The extension can be accessed by clicking on the "Obsidian Web" icon in the browser toolbar.
Overall, Obsidian Web provides a convenient way for Obsidian users to seamlessly integrate their browser with their note-taking workflow. It offers useful features like customizable templates, Note Recall, and Periodic Notes functionality. With its simple installation process, users can quickly enhance their note-taking experience.
