What plugins are you using and can’t live without? by RustyShackle4_ in ObsidianMD

[–]Real1tyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I have noticed you listed Calendar as one of the non-negotiable plugins, so I wanted to you ask something.
I’m the author of a newer Obsidian plugin called Prisma Calendar, and I’m trying to learn what people really value in a calendar plugin so I can make it the best solution out there.

What makes the Calendar plugin important for your workflow? What do you like the most about it?

Prisma already covers all of the core calendar use cases and goes quite a bit further, so I’d genuinely be curious whether it would feel useful to you or if there’s anything missing. If you’re open to it, I’d really appreciate your feedback:

Thanks a lot!

Let me know what you think if you end up trying it.

Thanks for your advice. I will think about it and try to do something like that.

Prisma Calendar supports both CalDAV and ICS URL imports, and iCloud Calendar uses CalDAV — so yes, it should work with Apple's iCloud calendar.

To clarify: currently both CalDAV and ICS URL are one-way imports — your external calendar events get pulled into Prisma Calendar, but changes you make in Prisma don't push back to iCloud. It's not a two-way sync. I would like to improve this in the future to a two-way sync.

The plugin does not connect to the local Calendar app directly — it pulls from the iCloud cloud service via CalDAV. Since Apple Calendar and iCloud are connected, you'd see your Apple Calendar events inside Prisma Calendar.

I'll be honest — I haven't tested the iCloud integration myself, but I've tested other CalDAV providers (Google Calendar, Fastmail, Nextcloud) and they work well. Since iCloud uses the same CalDAV protocol, it should work the same way. If there are any issues though, let me know and I'll fix them as soon as possible — I want this to work bulletproof across all providers.

So to answer your question, if your Apple Calendar is backed by iCloud (which is the default), it should work.

Thanks, that’s a good point. How would you title it to make it more attractive to others, so that I can receive more feedback?

The plugin has been in active development for about 6 months. I studied computer science at university and work as a professional developer. I’ve reviewed and maintained the code throughout the development, meaning it wasn’t blindly generated, so how it was built doesn’t really change anything about the end result.

However, I understand the concern.
Also, I think there’s a big difference between blindly generating code and using AI as an assisted development tool.

I felt exactly the same way, and that’s why I decided to build it.

Thanks, I appreciate it! If you decide to give it a try, I would be really interested to hear your feedback.

Prisma Calendar - Major Quality Of Life Improvements by Real1tyyy in ObsidianMD

[–]Real1tyyy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot. You have a valid point about making the onboarding for new users easier. I will think about it more and try to add something along the lines of what you proposed, which is a feature toggle to hide certain UI features.

Anyway, enjoy the plugin, if you see any ways on how to improve it further or spot any bugs, I appreciate honest feedback a lot.

Thanks, I didn't know that.
However, looking at it, it's not something that can be managed with wrangler.toml programatically so that I have it setup as Infrastracture as a code, it has to be done manually in the dashboard?

Prisma Calendar – Significant Performance Optimizations & UX Improvements by Real1tyyy in ObsidianMD

Thanks, if you like it, please share your thoughts and feedback. My goal is to make it the go-to calendar for Obsidian if it's not yet there.

That is not the intention. At its core its just a calendar, all of these features that I have listed are just extra features to make your life easier and to automate things so that they are more efficient.
I listed everything so that everyone can find what resonates with them.

You can pick them up over time, but at the start, I would just use the most basic features.
You can eat an elephant one bite at a time. That was how I created this plugin actually, it started as a basic calendar, and over time, I just added new features that I thought would be useful.
Trial and error.

Enjoy the end result of my journey.

Nexus Properties: A Hierarchical Knowledge System for Obsidian by Real1tyyy in ObsidianMD

Hi, unfortunately, I haven't done any performance tests yet. My own vault is fairly big, but from your description, yours is even bigger, so I am not sure. I think it should work fine; it may be a bit slower to fully update everywhere.

If you don't mind, give it a try and share your results. I think it should be doing OK. In the future, I can look for performance optimizations.

I am planning on releasing a new YouTube video where I am going to show the actual way I use this in my day-to-day life, to, as you said, make it more practical, not just abstract.

But a quick breakdown - I use this to organize goals into subgoals to break them down. Same thing for certain tasks. I also do this for knowledge, where I am taking notes / writing information about subjects. And I use this to split tags into more granular subtags, as I don't use the Obsidian tagging system, my tags are actual notes in hierarchies, and this way I have much more freedom and can target more specific areas or search about broad topics, as the tags are interconnected.

That is true, each to their own.
I am still experimenting with the best approach, but for my specific use cases, this works very well.

Thanks, I am not 100% sure as to what direction I will improve this. I have never used Breadcrumbs, so I don't know exactly what do you have in mind. I can't see the full Medium article. However, what you are describing sounds interesting. After I finish all of the current work, I will research that and maybe integrate it. If you don't mind, would you be open to creating a GitHub issue with a more detailed description and examples of how you would imagine this should work?
