JSON Canvas – An open file format for infinite canvas data
I really like that you commit to keep this stable and open.
Do you plan to make the TypeScript definition part of this new site?
https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-api/blob/master/canva...
For me it's easier to read TS format.

Love Letter to Obsidian
The Canvas feature is a custom file format, but they published the format here: https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-api/blob/master/canva...
If Obsidian goes under or you want to migrate at least your data isn't lost.

Does Obsidian hold any patents, or feature-related intellectual property?
Obsidian is closed source so you won't be infringing their copyright by incorrectly getting/copying their code within your code. I don't believe they have any software patents (too small a company), and the canvas data format is available under MIT license (https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-api/blob/master/canvas.d.ts). Even if you decided to reproduce their plugin APIs (so that existing Obsidian plugins could be reused with your software), you'd be fine per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_LLC_v._Oracle_America,_Inc. (but their API definition is under MIT license anyway: https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-api/tree/master)

Good starting point for learning more technical things?
I would start with with the obsidian api docs and the obsidian plugin docs then feed it into a gpt document loader and ask gpt the same thing you asked here. Obsidian offers a couple different “talk to your notes” plugins using gpt (all you need is an open ai api key) if you’re looking for a streamlined “ai document loader” you could just copy and paste the info into a new note once you have the plugin installed.
- Templater obtain name of previous active link, or parent note.
-
Is there way to run Obsidian command from the shell?
In any event, there are no CLI flags to do that at the moment. The canvas format is very new, and not part of the standard markdown format. There is a public specification for it, but it's up to developers to make applications supporting it.
-
Why not open sourcing ?
Canvas has been an open standard since its release.
-
Does Obsidian suitable for my usecase (I use Notion + OneNote)?
As far as I know, any API that can be used by end users and plugin developers (as described in the previous post) is considered public. You can find the API repo here and definitions in this file.

-
Obsidian Canvas is here!
The .canvas format is a simple JSON-based format that is designed to be easy to parse. We've already seen several plugins leverage this and hope to see even more tools outside of Obsidian. You can see the spec here.

Show HN: Obsidian Canvas – An infinite space for your ideas
Cool project! Note that if you want to support the Remarkable scribbles, there's a Python project that does that:
https://github.com/rschroll/rmrl

PFD & PNG
If you need a high detail at the cost of cosmetics (e.g. pencil texture), rmrl is a pretty good renderer: https://github.com/rschroll/rmrl

New Yorker: Can “Distraction-Free” Devices Change the Way We Write?
100% and yet it's still worth it. I write this as a programmer meaning that, ironically enough, my distraction is when I pick the reMarkable to start reading or sketching but despite the minimalist setup still get distracted. Not by social network notifications or the possibility of a web search but rather here for example to suggest you https://github.com/rschroll/rmrl for your PDF and if its too limited (it always is) to consider what prototypes I could build that challenge the very way I read and write. I believe it's worst for researchers because the process itself must be described in order to publish a result. One must step back and describe the experiment so that it can be both challenged and reproduced. Consequently there is always on the back of the mind a simple and justified question "Is this the right way to do that?". I believe it is quite taxing but it still worth because, and that's just my view, thinking itself relies extensively on tools. We like to imagine that it's a pure process of the mind but for any complex enough thought, we need tools. We run simulations, we sketch diagram, we organize a bibliography which represents the thoughts and experiments of others, etc. This is literally unmanageable without tools regardless of ones "intelligence". This in turns mean that the better the tool, at least in regard to the final goal, the further one can go.

Any way to export a folder with multiple notebooks?
Then use https://github.com/rschroll/rmrl to convert the data files you get from the previous point to pdf.
-
Command line tool to convert page to png or pdf on the device, or from a third party?
I love this tool: https://github.com/rschroll/rmrl

Programmatically changing the opened notebook
Reading/parsing .rm files has been already implemented by these 2 Python libraries: * https://github.com/bsdz/remarkable-layers (not maintained any longer) * https://github.com/rschroll/rmrl (looks up-to-date)

PSA: rsync, cryptsetup and veritysetup binaries now included in 2.8 update
This would also be less of an issue if you ran your own infrastructure (see rmfakecloud, or use something like Syncthing or Nextcloud together with rmrl for file conversion).

Issue w/ highlighter tool (beta 2.7.0.30)
This has been a gripe of mine for a while. The problem is that reMarkable isn't implementing the PDF standard correctly. Their highlights are just visual overlays but not Annotation objects. I have submitted a pull request to the RMRL python library to fix this, but the author has not been responsive. I also submitted a support request referencing the specific standard, but I'm not holding my breath. In the mean time you can always try using my version of RMRL, but it requires use of the command line and a working python install.

Ondevice .rm to .svg/.pdf conversion
One way to manage the issue, would be to look into rmlr, install python and pip via Entware/Toltec, and try to have rmlr running on the RM if all the dependencies can be found for the ARM architecture.
