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. Today, there are literally thousands of extensions, ranging from micro features to very powerful systems built on top of Obsidian. ## Curated Plugins Here are my 15 favorite plugins:   | Name |
