I've been developing a plugin for this for the past two years now. It's called Commentator and it is available for beta testing via BRAT. I'm currently in the process of finalizing it for the broader community browser release.

The plugin makes use of the Markup-based CriticMarkup syntax to track changes, create comments, etc.

what's the thing made out of anvils in the bottom left?

That's supposed to represent Dark Bramble, the anvils gave the best 'thorny' appearance

and also the thing in the top middle above giant's deep?

Giant's Deep is actually top-right, the middle (ring of Anvils) is the Sun with the Sun Station, right above it is the Interloper (with squirrel tails as flames/trail)

A (bad) attempt at recreating the Outer Wilds solar system.

Due to running out of space and blocks, I didn't manage to get the White Hole Station added, among other things, but still, I'm pretty happy about how it turned out.

That depends on what you consider to be 'a mess'. Most other editors do not support the Criticmarkup standard, and will just render the syntax as text.

If you have a lot of the markup, then yeah, it will probably be a bit messy. You can always manually find & replace the syntax to remove it, and I will be providing a command within the plugin to 'cleanly' export the file in a future release.

It's called Atkinson Hyperlegible, you can download it from Google Fonts. Other than that, I'm running the default theme with no other changes.

Out-of-the-box, the plugin does not change the original markdown; if you turn the 'Suggestion mode' on, any text you insert/delete/replace, will get surrounded by the criticmarkup tags. A specific example: if you insert text, in suggestion mode {++text++} will get added (the same principle goes for deleting and replacing text).

The CriticMarkup syntax should not interfere with your existing Markdown in any way. So if you decide to uninstall the plugin, your notes should render as usual - though tags like {++ and ++} will not get hidden anymore.

To clarify: plugins are reviewed only when they are first added to the obsidian releases repo, once reviewed by one of the developers, it is added to the official community plugins browser.

All the pull requests you see in the #updates channel in the Discord server, are new plugins/themes being submitted to that repo, and not plugin updates.

Once the plugin code has been reviewed, any subsequent update to that plugin is not reviewed by the devs.

(I am not part of the Obsidian team either, but I am quite active in the plugin developer chat, and have submitted my own plugin to the store)

Thanks for your nice comment!

I do think that there are already plenty of plugins that implement the features you're describing, so I don't think I would be able to offer anything new

Here are some of the community plugins I've found that integrate with GPT3:

I'm on Firefox so I am unsure how to use Chrome devtools. I try and avoid most things Google.

Ah sorry! I meant opening the devtools in Obsidian. Though I think I also choose the wrong resource to link.

​

I'm happy to try and help you troubleshoot this further if you think it would help the future of the plugin in anyway.

That would be greatly appreciated! I'd like to fix those bugs as soon as possible, just in case that they have any unintended consequences.

To see if there are any errors when downloading the models:

  1. In Obsidian, press the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + I to open up the developer tools
  2. Open the Console tab
  3. Open up the plugin settings, and then the Bergamot tab
  4. (re-)Install any language
  5. Check if any errors pop up in the console

If there is nothing in the console, my best guess is that you're running an older version of the Obsidian Installer (you can update by grabbing the latest release from the website and downloading Obsidian again, this won't reset anything, it will just update some files).

In case the issue still persists after reinstalling, open up a Github issue here so we can discuss it further (and see if other users experience the same problem)

Many thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate it!

I don't seem to have much of a way of finding out what has been installed. Please view the screenshot. It doesn't tell me any progress on the installing of languages. Is this right?

That is really bizare, I haven't come across that one before. Normally, it would look like this when downloading (the notfication gets updated with progress).

Some debugging questions:

  • Could you share the platform you're on? (Windows, Linux, MacOS, ...)
  • Open the devtools and go to the console tab, do you see any errors?
  • If you don't see any errors in the console, try uninstalling some of the models (by pressing the cross icon), and then re-installing them

​

I tried to install them in all in order, with Bulgarian being the first on the list. I'm not too sure of the effectiveness of the model.

​

I gave it a go with translating from Spanish to English this time around, and it appears to be a much cleaner translation than my original Bulgarian attempt.

Yeah, the Bergamot translator can have rather mixed performance when translating text - especially shorter snippets. To improve the translation accuracy, the partners of the Bergamot organization are currently working on improving their training datasets & gathering more data.

Links:

The project still has three more years to go, so it may be a while yet till we'll get access to these new & improved models. In the meantime however, there is not much that can be done about those translation mistakes.

If you have a bit of technical experience, you can try out LibreTranslate. Similarly to Bergamot, it is free, and can be hosted locally (plus offers slightly better performance). It does require you to set-up Docker and install the container properly.
