sublimated for Obsidian

Sync status, version history, and deep links for sublimated.com vaults.

features

  • status bar showing version, sync status, and author for the current file

  • click status bar to open the file on sublimated.com

  • version history sidebar with author, timestamp, and web links

  • commands: open on web, show versions, copy web link

  • URI handler for deep linking from sublimated.com back to Obsidian

setup

  1. install the plugin from Obsidian community plugins

  3. open any synced file — the plugin reads sublimated xattrs and shows sync info in the status bar automatically

version history

  1. go to sublimated.com/settings/tokens and generate a token

  2. in Obsidian, go to Settings → sublimated → paste the token

  3. use "sublimated: show versions" command or click the ribbon icon

authentication

planned: OAuth sign-in — click "Sign in with sublimated" in settings, authenticate in browser, token flows back automatically via obsidian://sublimated?action=auth&token=...

commands

  • sublimated: open on sublimated.com — open current file in browser

  • sublimated: show versions — open version history sidebar

  • sublimated: copy web link — copy sublimated.com URL to clipboard

URI handler

development

first time setup

# install dependencies
npm install


# build the plugin
npm run build

  1. pick a vault to test with (e.g. open ~/Library/CloudStorage/sublimated-dev-sublimated as a vault in Obsidian)

  2. create the plugin directory in that vault:

mkdir -p ~/Library/CloudStorage/sublimated-dev-sublimated/.obsidian/plugins/sublimated

  1. symlink the build output so changes are picked up automatically:

ln -sf "$(pwd)/main.js" ~/Library/CloudStorage/sublimated-dev-sublimated/.obsidian/plugins/sublimated/main.js
ln -sf "$(pwd)/manifest.json" ~/Library/CloudStorage/sublimated-dev-sublimated/.obsidian/plugins/sublimated/manifest.json
ln -sf "$(pwd)/styles.css" ~/Library/CloudStorage/sublimated-dev-sublimated/.obsidian/plugins/sublimated/styles.css

  1. in Obsidian: Settings > Community plugins > enable "Sublimated"

  2. start watch mode for live rebuilds:

npm run dev

  1. after each rebuild: Cmd+P > "Reload app without saving" (or Cmd+R) to pick up changes
