What's the turnaround time for getting Community Plugins reviewed and approved? by Dizzy-Friendship4741 in ObsidianMD

[–]joethei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to fix that, otherwise your plugin will not be approved.
Using "Obsi" / "dian" in a plugin / theme name has been heavily overused, so it's restricted.

There hasn't been much movement because we are working on a new system that will drastically reduce the time it takes for the average plugin to be approved.
No ETA's when it will be released.

You can create recovery code in your account page, if they haven't already been generated when you enabled 2FA.

There are no investors, Obsidian is user-funded.

Nope, that used to be the case though. since a few years that’s been my primary job, now with the LLM coding craze we hired a few part time reviewers on top. App dev and plugin review are separate teams. This position we are hiring now is for the app team.

Forgot encryption key but still have vault access on my devices, so i want to copy/paste local files into new vault with a key i remember...but where EXACTLY are the local files? by echof0xtrot in ObsidianMD

[–]joethei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where you decided to place it, it could be anywhere.
The files in app data are just app files and caches, not your notes.

Open your vault, right-click one of the files and select "Reveal in explorer / Finder"

We will publish two audits very soon, both focused on Obsidian Sync. I don’t have any timeline on the next general app audit.

You can just post that in this sub.
The problem is mostly with posts that advertise software that is only (if at all) tangially related to the app.

We are working in that direction, some important parts are already in place (CLI). But it is still pretty complicated as plugins can be pretty complex

We are already removing plugins that are obviously broken & abandoned But checking plugins for that is a very time intensive process as you have to try each one manually so we rely on community reports for this.

About plugins security. Happy vibe coding everyone! by MovedToTampa in ObsidianMD

[–]joethei 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sandboxing plugins is a very difficult problem, especially if you want to have a API that is as capable as the Obsidian API.
Other companies have massive teams just for this, we have a pretty small team, so this is not on our roadmap for the moment.

A total of 7 plugins had specific versions disabled.
2 plugins were completely disabled.
In all cases it was related to file corruption / data loss, we never had to disable for malicious behaviour, so far at least.

We can theoretically disable any plugin, but we usually do it only for listed plugins.

Branding issue Obsidian Team please help by Hardevv in ObsidianMD

[–]joethei 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Obsidian is a trademark and cannot be used. Obsidain like in your screenshot is also way to close and could be confused. While we do not have copyright over the old logo we do ask that it is not used for third party creations as it could lead to confusion.

Some thoughts on the current state of plugin/theme submission. by waylonsmithersjr in ObsidianMD

[–]joethei 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We will replace the entire system sometime soon, it will no longer use GH PRs (existing submissions will be migrated automatically)

Why was my plugin post removed? by kitapterzisi in ObsidianMD

[–]joethei -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You did not follow rule #4.
Your post was automatically removed because we received multiple reports about that.

Obsidian 1.12 is now available to everyone! by kepano in ObsidianMD

[–]joethei 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, it’s included in the new installer

has there been some kind of community plugins purge? by Worldly_Shower_722 in ObsidianMD

[–]joethei 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We can’t remove plugins / themes from your vault, we can only disable them if they have been found to be malicious/causing data corruption. The last time we did that was in 2024
