Using Obsidian for Mastodon and my website

I still miss some of the product polish of Notion, but the customizability and community ecosystem for Obsidian.md are amazing.

There are two plugins I'm really excited about. The first lets you post to Mastodon directly from Obsidian. The plugin manages media attachments and thread separators (complete with character counts synced to your server's settings!):

The other is a plugin which sends the current note's raw data and attachments to a webhook:

Put together, these drastically reduce the amount of code I need to write in order to fully own my stuff, while keeping is centralized, easy to access, and not locked in some piece of shit VC-backed silo.
