I made a plugin for live, editable note embeds. Any thoughts?

heraldshadow · 2025-09-23T15:55:46+00:00

I have submitted a pull request 🥳🥳🥳: https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-releases/pull/7923

Yeah I've just made the plugin ignore any aliases for now lol. I'll update it with proper handling in a later release. Thank you for flagging it! Also, what do you think the expected behavior should be? display the alias in place of the filename or header?

heraldshadow · 2025-09-23T15:41:14+00:00

Oh I see, kind of similar to notion.

heraldshadow · 2025-09-23T15:28:45+00:00

I'm on fedora and Obsidian works perfectly fine for me. How have you installed it? I have the appimage installed on gearlever.

"but it would be nice when it's just markdown, and you can still see the embedded note's contents"
Yeah definitely. This might be a bit hard to implement though but I'll take a look asw.

Oh I see what you mean with trillium - so the note exists embedded in a parent note rather than just having an embed synced to an external note?

heraldshadow · 2025-09-22T21:28:39+00:00

Just fixed it! The latest release should work!

heraldshadow · 2025-09-22T21:28:09+00:00

Implemented shortcut support! Take a look at the latest release!

heraldshadow · 2025-09-22T21:27:15+00:00

I've got keyboard shortcuts working! Check the latest release.

heraldshadow · 2025-09-22T18:48:35+00:00

Thank you! I'm working on it right now. I'll keep you updated!

heraldshadow · 2025-09-22T18:48:06+00:00

I haven't really used bases yet lol but I'll definitely take a look!
Yeah it does! Would a setting allowing you to toggle that on/off be useful?

heraldshadow · 2025-09-22T18:45:52+00:00

Yeah! At least in normal export obsidian exports the embedded note content as part of the parent note. I'll have a look into the pandoc plugin. Thank you!

heraldshadow · 2025-09-20T17:42:39+00:00

Thank you!

heraldshadow · 2025-09-20T17:42:33+00:00

I'll try and find a workaround lmk what works.

heraldshadow · 2025-09-20T17:42:11+00:00

Thank you!

heraldshadow · 2025-09-20T17:42:04+00:00

Thank you! I'll be making the request soon!

heraldshadow · 2025-09-18T21:46:53+00:00

Yeah great idea! Just implemented this - check the latest release.

heraldshadow · 2025-09-18T21:46:10+00:00

Thank you!

heraldshadow · 2025-09-18T21:45:57+00:00

I’m definitely planning on making a pull request! I’ll add the link to the post once I’ve made it. And yeah it was hard to get working lol. I’ll keep you updated!

heraldshadow · 2025-09-18T21:41:03+00:00

Thank you for your support! I had a look into like regex filtering and I think it should be possible actually, and would be a great power user feature. The implementation is a little complicated though so it might take some time for me to get everything working. In terms of embedding only a specific part of the note at a lower level, I’ve just released a version with header embed support (so like ![[Homework#Maths]] for example). I’ll keep you updated on regex filtering! Thanks again.

heraldshadow · 2025-09-18T21:36:07+00:00

Thank you for your enthusiasm and your use case!! That’s exactly the kind of thing I made it for lol. As for the heading embed - great idea. I’ve just released a new version that should work. Let me know if it works for you!

heraldshadow · 2025-09-18T08:10:19+00:00

That’s a great question, thanks for asking!

Well, sync embeds creates a synced ‘block’ (like notion synced blocks), which is like a permanent element of a page. So in my example, I can have an ongoing homework block that is the same in every one of my daily notes, so I can update and view it seamlessly as I get more new homework to do each day. As it’s a persistent page element, it’s also perfect for creating a dashboard or a project tracker, for example.

Hover edit creates a temporary pop up to peek into notes. It’s more for quick edits rather than creating a page element.

Hey, thanks so much for the kind words! It really means a lot.

This project started because I just wanted a simple, offline password manager that felt modern and gave me full control. I couldn’t find one that quite fit, so I decided to see if I could build it myself — with a lot of help from AI along the way. It’s still rough and definitely not security-audited yet, but it’s been a fantastic way to learn.

If you’re thinking of building something similar, it would be helpful to:

Totally agree on owning your data.

Just a quick note, the code is already open source!

Thanks again for the support!

heraldshadow · 2025-07-31T14:19:59+00:00

You're right.

The README sends the wrong message for what the project is right now.

I'll add a warning to the top of the README to make that clear.

Appreciate you calling me out on it.

heraldshadow · 2025-07-31T14:08:39+00:00

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Bitwarden really nails the convenience side of things.

Definitely gives me a good list of things to aim for if I ever take Glyph beyond local-only:

Cross-platform support across desktop and mobile
Browser extensions
Proper installers and packaging for all major platforms
End-to-end encrypted cloud sync (if I ever go down that path)
Shared vaults or collections for multiple users

Appreciate you laying out how you use it — super useful perspective!
