# My Obsidian Setup I am currently still trial-and-error-style figuring out the best way to create a system that meets all my needs of learning, organization, professional work, content creation, and more. Such a system **must** consider both myself *AND* my growing audience across multiple platforms and domains. To avoid needless work and organizational confusion, my markdown notes **must** both be the best form of note-taking for my own learning _AND_, in that same style that is best for me, serve as great and educational content for the audience without requiring me to have 2 version of _everything_. I have always wanted my own self-education process to result in content that allows others to be inspired to learn for themselves and for the betterment of the world, while being an excellent source of engaging educational material in and of itself. # Community Plugins I'm Currently Using In order to create such a system without building an entire PKM application myself that has everything that I want--which is something I'm picking up software development to learn how to do, but is likely years away--Obsidian's community plugins are an absolute necessity. They will be added to this list, one at a time, as soon as I can confirm they will remain installed following testing their utility and place within the system. My goal is to minimize the total number of third party plugins in order to keep things simple and easy to implement for anyone. | Plugin | Description | | ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Advanced Tables | Provides expanded and easier control of tables in markdown documents | | Calendar | Embeds a functional calendar widget into Obsidian | | Paste URL into Selection | The very first plugin I add to any Obsidian vault: allows you to paste a URL from your clip board "into" any text on your markdown document, and automatically makes a hyperlink | | Tasks | Adds task functionality to Obsidian, with additional querying and other customization capabilites | # To Investigate A plugin that provides a REST API for interacting with your Obsidian data - [LINK](https://coddingtonbear.github.io/obsidian-local-rest-api/)
