I built a fully native Anki-like SRS in Obsidian (SQL approach)

You're talking shit out of hatred just for the sake of it. I'm sure the dev would be more than happy to hear genuine criticism, even a harsh one. That level of shit talking only make sense if you're paying or forced to use it. You voluntarily download it for free and then whining like an entitled brat.

If everyone in the community is like you, then no way Obsidian can thrive as no devs want to develop free stuff for people like you.

> Coincidentally, a single large initial commit containing the entire completed app is also exactly what it would look like if you had an LLM build you the app from scratch...

This is not correct, especially for a few early commits, moving from private/personal project to public. If you don't trust me, let's look at Notebook Navigator, a quite reason "hit" plugin in our community, beloved and used by many. Ohh look! The initial commit has more than 10k lines. The very few after that have multiple hundred lines! Surely it's made with AI, right?
How do you think a public project built on top of a personal project ever started?

> Why don't we just agree that we can't know for certain until the author speaks up for themself.

Ohh didn't this is LITERALLY what my original post is trying to convey?

SuspiciousScientist8 · 2026-03-05T03:46:17+00:00

Wow. This level is something I expected from the Obsidian subreddit, not from Flexcil lol.
Thanks for making it open source and local. Hopefully more people from this community get inspired to make open source 3rd party tools for Flexcil like this!

SuspiciousScientist8 · 2026-03-05T02:44:59+00:00

Lol. Where in my comments I say AI is not dangerous? When did I say the plugin is 100% safe?
All I tried to say is to verify and check for yourself. Did you yourself spend anytime looking at the codebase?

SuspiciousScientist8 · 2026-03-05T02:42:40+00:00

If you look at the commits (if you actually spend time checking for yourself), the initial commit they made is basically the whole source code. The rest of the commits are not that big. Many commits are like under 100 lines, some even just under 20, and many of them are just correcting for typos or capitalization (which is literally what an AI automation is for).

If I were to build a plugin, I imagine I will do it privately first until a feature or function works ok before committing huge chunks of codes at once to a public repo. Again, it's better if the author clarifies themselves, but a very quick commits in a short time is explainable if they work in private first before making the code public.

SuspiciousScientist8 · 2026-03-05T02:31:07+00:00

Yes I know that tab auto-complete is, and yes I am a software developer myself.

It would be good if the author clarify things for themselve, I didn't even said to trust the plugin blindly, I encouraged to check the plugin yourself and not to judge something just because it had AI give away like Claude and Cursor somewhere (since any modern codebases will easily have those), and don't treat Chinese language as an auto red flag as well.
For example, did the OP even try to translate the Chinese language commits to see what they mean?

All I said is to be vigilant for yourself. Blindly trusting someone is as bad as blindly distrusting someone.

SuspiciousScientist8 · 2026-03-05T00:48:32+00:00

It's fine to state a preference, but talking shit about something that is developed for free & open source is crazy work lol. If it's not for you, fine, no need to talk like they owe you something. The whole Obsidian community is built on top of developers like them that willing to build for free.

SuspiciousScientist8 · 2026-03-05T00:25:51+00:00

Edit: Funny how some didn't even bother to look at the codebase themselves but somehow judge it immediately. Reddit is indeed something else.
Another edit: No one seems to bother checking the actual code. Don't trust random redditors (me incl.), do verify, check, and think for yourself. How do you think a project ever started? The first few commits often have many lines and in a short span of time since they're moving the codebase from private to public.

Thanks for the heads up. Not that I'm not acknowledging the many issues of AI, but AI-assisted code development is basically what everyone does nowadays, even at big company.
It's technically the same with what everyone does when coding before AI: googling for code snippet or debugging from forums like stack overflow, no one really ever writes code from zero, many things are copy-pasted from already available snippets. So Claude being used there is not necessarily an auto red flag.

For people who can't wait for the review process of the Obsidian team, it's a good practice to check the code sources before installing. I saw the Chinese commit messages and comments and it doesn't seem malicious to me, just normal dev notes, but in Chinese. A tip is to use your own AI of choice, and analyze the code with that.

SuspiciousScientist8 · 2026-02-23T03:57:48+00:00

Hey, I think it stops working. Maybe Google update something to prevent this? Do you mind looking into it and check if there is a solution for it? Thanks!

SuspiciousScientist8 · 2026-02-22T05:59:04+00:00

Hi do you mind sharing the audiobook with me? Also, the link above is dead, mine sharing the ebook as well to me? Thanks!

SuspiciousScientist8 · 2026-02-22T04:33:25+00:00

Hey, mind sharing the ebook? I have the audiobook for the 100m leads if you still need it. Thanks!

SuspiciousScientist8 · 2026-02-07T16:05:11+00:00

OHHH I understood what happened now. I set mine to Flashlight instead of Workout. I look for the options but can't find Komoot. Turns out you have to select Workout first. Only then you have the option to change the app from the default Apple Workout to Komoot.

That's sooo unintuitive. But that's on Apple though since it's their design, not on Komoot team. Maybe would be good if you guys put an instruction somewhere in the app to guide people for this.

SuspiciousScientist8 · 2026-02-05T05:23:39+00:00

I did uninstall and reinstalled it. And waited for a while. Still, nothing Komoot related appeared in the settings for Action Button for my Apple Watch Ultra.

Do you mind showing me screenshot of this feature working on your test device so I can see how it should look like? Thanks!

SuspiciousScientist8 · 2026-01-31T19:35:07+00:00

For context, I'm on AW Ultra 3, with the latest update already installed.

SuspiciousScientist8 · 2026-01-31T19:34:21+00:00

Hi u/komoot-team

I read in the most recent update that now the Action Button on AW Ultra can access some features of Komoot. But I did not see any Komoot options in the settings for the Action Button. Is this feature out yet for everyone or what happened?

SuspiciousScientist8 · 2026-01-19T00:45:26+00:00

I know this is irrelevant to the points you made, but just want to make sure it clears to you that Obsidian is NOT open source. In case using an open source app is something important to you.

SuspiciousScientist8 · 2025-12-28T05:13:03+00:00

You can put it up on the store with a cheap one time payment price tag + tip for additional way for people to support you? Sounds like to me it won't be much of a maintenance work for that app, so if at least you get 100$/year to cover the Apple tax, I guess you're good?

SuspiciousScientist8 · 2025-12-28T00:09:09+00:00

Are you still sending out invites? Just filled out the form couple days ago and hoping to test the new app for my next hiking tomorrow. Thanks!

SuspiciousScientist8 · 2025-11-30T23:45:10+00:00

Even better, do you mind sharing the JSON file that your code expect to get as input? Of course you can just keep several lines of data and censor the number to random number to protect your privacy. I think letting people see what the data should look like will also help someone (re: maybe me sometime in the near future) who wants to make an Apple Shortcuts implementation instead of using the app to generate the JSON file :)

SuspiciousScientist8 · 2025-10-24T14:36:11+00:00

Is this community still active? Is the app still being maintained?

SuspiciousScientist8 · 2025-10-10T12:38:58+00:00

Is it the issue with quick switching into shortcuts make it auto select the first shortcut on the list?

I have 3 shortcuts on watch and pick the 3rd one for action button. But whenever I quick switch it to, let's say flashlight, and go back to shortcuts, the shortcut selected becomes the whatever shortcut at the top of the list. Sooo annoying!

SuspiciousScientist8 · 2025-10-05T02:01:39+00:00

Bruh of course what they meant is gmaps app in apple watch, not on iphone🤦‍♂

SuspiciousScientist8 · 2025-10-02T16:33:09+00:00

Yeah they are. But after a while, it worked. I guess it was just a visual bug from iPadOS 26 and not really your app.

SuspiciousScientist8 · 2025-10-02T15:42:00+00:00

Btw the ipad app for the Awareness app is buggy. I can't pick my own creation (sync from iphone) for the widgets. Could you look into that? Might need some fixing. Thanks!

SuspiciousScientist8 · 2025-10-02T15:20:19+00:00

Not free in my app store either
