Obsidian Community Plugins

# Obsidian Community Plugins [[Obsidian]] Community Plugins are my favorite "feature". Thanks to the fact that Obsidian has a clearly documented [API](https://docs.obsidian.md/Home) and support for extensions, the huge community of developers around Obsidian has been able to develop and share tons and tons of powerful plugins.
