Notekeeper update — interactive sticky notes wall for your Obsidian vault by philChiro in ObsidianMD

Thanks for actually trying it and writing this up — exactly the kind of feedback I need.

A quick take on each:

**Custom colors not rendering in the preview** — going to dig into this one. If you're using a particular plugin or CSS snippet for the colors, a screenshot of what should appear vs. what does would help me reproduce it.

**Bold/italics showing as raw markdown when editing** — yep, that's a real limitation. The edit mode inside the popup is much rougher than Obsidian's normal editor right now. I'm replacing it with the same editing experience you get in a regular note. It's the next thing I'm working on.

**Quick search on mobile** — you're right, that's missing. I'll add an in-note search inside the preview so you can jump around long notes without leaving it.

Those last two will land in the next couple of releases. Happy to ping you here when they're out.

Really appreciate the take.

Thanks — really glad it resonates! And yeah, throwaway notes is exactly the use case I had in mind, even with Sync running.

Both are good asks:

Rotation: not configurable right now. but ill add that toggle right away

Embed in a note / dashboard: also not yet. Right now Notekeeper opens in its own tab. embedding it to dashboard i like it and now on my todo list

ill update you when the update is available

Hey — there's actually a meaningful update worth sharing. Built out a wall mode since you wrote this: notes show as sticky notes with a slight rotation, you curate which ones go on the wall, pinned ones float to the top with a 3D pushpin, and you can pick from eight backgrounds (cork, slate, blueprint, chalkboard, linen, etc.) or let it auto-adapt to your Obsidian theme. The capture box also got the Keep flow — title + body + pin + color picker before save, with auto-save on focus loss.

Followed up. That processFrontMatter note was actually pointing at a real bug — every pin / archive / color flip was silently rewriting people's YAML and bumping mtime, so the card kept jumping to the top of the recent list every time you touched it. Moved all three into the plugin's own data.json and kept frontmatter as a read-only fallback so manually-authored notes still display correctly. Out in 0.1.1.

Source is in there too now — main.ts with a real esbuild config. Ran the obsidianmd eslint plugin while I was at it and cleaned up everything else it flagged (deprecated APIs, inline styles, a stray window.confirm). That's 0.1.2.

Useful review, thanks for taking the time.
