Nice to see people so involved with Obsidian here!

OK, these are my favourite five plugins per category. The links lead to a blog post I've written where I detail what each plugin does and from where they can be downloaded, both via GitHub and via Obsidian desktop:

For work

• Advanced Tables
• Influx
• Jira Issue
• Tasks
• Vale

For private use

• Dataview
• Omnisearch
• Readwise Official
• Style Settings
• Tasks

I use probably 7 or 8 plugins in total but these are the ones I couldn't live without:

• Templater
• Advanced Tables
• Natural Language Dates
• Text Snippets
• Todoist Plugin

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.

• dataview
• tasks
• linter
• omnisearch
• obsidian git

Here's mine!

1. Bible Reference
2. Kanban
3. Obsidian Git
4. Tag Wrangler
5. Underline

• Periodic Notes
• Templater (works really well with Periodic Notes)
• QuickAdd
• Dataview
• I made my own plugin to convert all pngs in my vault into slightly compressed jpgs (as long as there's no transparent pixels in the image)

(just tried omnisearch because of this post and it's such a good plugin)

• Tag Wrangler
• Tasks
• Janitor
• Full Calendar
• File Explorer Note Count

• Linter
• QuickAdd
• Commander (nice synergy between these 2)
• Templater
• Dataview

• Obsidian-Git
• Calendar Plugin
• Dataview
• Omnisearch
• Download from Pocket

• 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

• Gemmy (I am not kidding it brighten the mood)
• Underline
• Calendar
• Dataview
• Tasks

Yes, I am not pushing the app to the max, I'd say I'm more of an average person

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.

My top 5 plugins at the moment are:

• Dataview
• Templater
• Breadcrumbs
• Daily Notes
• Customizable Page Header and Tittle Bar

Tough call honestly. I think those that I genuinely could not live without are:

• Dataview
• Tasks
• Quickview
• Advanced Tables
• Sync (If core plugins don’t count, Hover Editor)

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 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.

• Kanban
• Book Search
• Paste URL into Selection
• Smart Random Note
• Graph Analysis

Ugh that was hard to get down to the top 5. Strang New Worlds is also a top plugin.

• Obsidian Git
• Templater
• Editor Syntax Highlight
• Natural Language Dates
• And a must-have Chrome extension to clip entire web pages as markdown notes in Obsidian, MarkDownload.

Not a plugin but I love the raycast extension to append to my daily notes!

• Dataview
• Calendar
• Tasks
• Outliner
• Strange New Worlds

Templater

Reveal Active File

Show Current File Path

I'm relatively minimal in terms of plugins. I basically want to make sure that I don't need to reformat any old pages.

1. Dataview
2. Remotely save
3. Graph analysis
4. Templater

So far just

• templated
• tasks If they ever implement mobile notifications I'll be using reminder, and a plugin to sync tasks wo next cloud tasks (can't remember which one, if I find it again I'll update my post)

1. Dataview
2. Templater
3. DB Folder
4. Digital Garden
5. Linter
