Have you ever considered to implement Dendron as an Obsidian plugin?

Describe the solution you'd like

Well as another issue said: Dendron is fucking great! I love it. After I tried Obsidian, LogSeq, and more. The hierarchy structure based on dot-separated filename was a genius design. And the Lookup bar made the note-taking so convenient. But I have to say that although VSCode is a great Editor for many purposes, for note-taking, it seems not good enough. And most plugins/extensions in VSCode are for better coding, not note-taking. On the other hand, most plugins/extensions on Obsidian are built for better note-taking. And there are some good plugins like kanban, dataview that enhanced the note-taking experience. And last not least, Obsidian's markdown editor feels better than VSCode. This is a suggestion, not a request. Thank you for building the Dendron for us. If I have the time, I would like to contribute to the project :-).

Well, I do not know for other users but I not only use Dendron for all you said BUT also because it is open source. AFAIK, Obsidian is not.

@kevinslin ok, thank you for the awesome project. I will try to do so. But I didn't read the source of Dendron and don't know how to create an Obsidian plugin :( So I need to do more effort. I hope it will give a shock to the Obsidian community :). You can close this issue or leave it alone.

@holmesconan You may try obsidian breadcrumbs plugin which supports the dendron style hierarchy.

Enable the option below. image

You'll get a breadcrumbs matrix view similar to the dendron tree view. image

@HenryC-3 thank you for your advice. I would like to try it. But it is just part of Dendron :-).

I would love to see such a plugin! Especially as Dendron does not run on mobile, where I do my note-taking. I'd love to be able to try out Dendron within Obsidian!

Also, BTW, though Obsidian is not open source, the source code is available.
