Obsidian User Plugins

These scripts are to be used with the (fabulous) Obsidian User Plugins plugin. As of today, the following scripts can be found here:

• Zettlerize.js: this script will make a "Zettel" out of the current note by a) prepending a "Zettel ID" to the filename, b) moving the file to the root of the Vault, c) adding the ID as an alias and d) copying the ID to the clipboard for immediate use

You can easily modify these scripts to your liking when adding them to your Obsidian Vault. Please note that these scripts will modify your vault and bad things might happen. Use at your own risk and make sure you understand the README,md of the Obsidian plugin.
