![This is Pele, my new rendering library for diagrams and charts, compatible with the latest Mermaid syntax. - 100-500× faster than mermaid.js - 6× smaller bundle - No dependencies - Easy to theme - Responsive to device width In pursuit of making Obsidian insanely fast and cohesively designed, I always found the Mermaid library to be too big, too slow, and too hard to theme. Pele will be the new renderer in the next version of Obsidian, but you can start using it now. Pele [ˈpɛlɛ] is named after the goddess of volcanoes and fire. It's open source under the MIT license.

This is Knap. It's a new language I created that turns data into Markdown. The syntax should feel familiar and comes with wonderfully pleasant features to modify and format plain text. Knap is open source. Over a million people already use Knap directly or indirectly because it started as the templating language I made for Obsidian Web Clipper. Now any tool can use it. You can add Knap to your app or use it via CLI. Create a batch of Markdown files from JSON or CSV, or pipe Defuddle directly into Knap to generate Markdown from HTML/URLs. The Knap site is color-coded to help beginners understand the relationship between variables (blue), filters (orange), and logic (green). I've tried to document it as comprehensively as I can. Try the Knap Playground so you can see how fun the syntax is to use! Knap is pronounced /knæp/ (with a hard k). It's named after knapping (with a silent k): the process of shaping stones to form arrowheads, scrapers, and other tools. Enjoy!

I have been working on Obsidian Reader for a over a year. I didn't want to share it until I felt it was good enough. It's finally there. Consistent formatting for any article. Outline, syntax highlighting, nice footnotes, adjustable typography. Runs locally. Just rules, no AI.

Defuddle now returns Youtube transcripts! Paste a YouTube link into defuddle.md to get a markdown transcript with timestamps, chapters, and pretty good diarization! ...or if you just want to read it, try the new Reader mode in Obsidian Web Clipper powered by Defuddle.

We're entering the stage where robots can do the robot dance and it's recognizable as a joke. The emulator emulates past emulation. In other words, the robot dance is transitioning to a form of historical preservation. The equivalent of a Renaissance fair performance. It's a recurring cycle: 1. A new technology emerges that attempts to emulate human behavior. 2. The failure to perfectly emulate humans gives rise to a vernacular based on the uncanny feeling of that emulator, e.g. the specific stiffness of robots. 3. Humans emulate the emulator as a form of entertainment and commentary, e.g. humans doing the robot dance. 4. Technology crosses the uncanny valley, it acquires lifelike behavior. The emulation becomes realistic. (We are here now!) 5. The vernacular of the emulator survives as a form of historical reenactment. There are many examples of this phenomenon e.g. Pinkydoll the "NPC streamer" or a musician like JD Beck who drums with the feeling and precision of a drum machine.

Of course the new Obsidian Reader themes in 1.3 look great for syntax highlighting

a quick demo of how I edit my website with Obsidian 1.8 write in Obsidian → auto-build jekyll → preview local site in web viewer tab → push to github → auto-deploy to live site I've been making websites for twenty five years, and this is by far the nicest it's ever been

somehow Jordan Eldredge revived this Winamp 5 skin I made 21 years ago
