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.

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: I built a website to share files and messages without any server
I've got another one on topic of self-hosted file sharing:
- FileBrowser running in Docker (https://filebrowser.org/features)
- Syncthing running in another container (https://syncthing.net/)
Syncthing keeps the files on your PC, Mac, BSD systems updated, and FileBrowser can point to the share and supply a convenient web UI. It works for me, it's kind of like a local Dropbox-lite.
-
Ask HN: Best useful tools that are helpful in your business?
We use syncthing to share files between our machines. It avoids is having to use dropbox / OneDrive etc. You just choose a folder and it automatically syncs it in the background.

LocalSend: Open-source, cross-platform file sharing to nearby devices
This very hn entries is bust contradicting your statement.
Also what about syncthing[1] (for recurrent/permanent sync) and croc[2] (for one time copies) ?
I have used both for a number of years already.

Ask HN: How best to sync a subset of my files with a friend?
I would use syncthing, which is open source at https://syncthing.net/.
After minimal setup, it just works(tm).
You have a normal directory in your filesystem, that is synced to the other peers (which you set up in the "minimal setup").
I have been using it for years, and it works well. It has no problems crossing os'es (i.e. windows -> linux, linux -> mac)
For windows I usually recommend https://github.com/canton7/SyncTrayzor, but vanilla syncthing works fine too (but don't try to mix them!)

Free and Open Source Alternative to Airdrop
Do consider Syncthing particularly if you are using Android. If using apple iOS you'd need the möbius sync client.

One thing that it beats the cloud / centralized sync on is because the connection is direct between devices when the initial transfer is completed the file is completely there on the other device. With a cloud type of sync you do the transfer twice. I've seen stack up on large media or with the structure of cloud services pricing making it expensive depending on how your workflow is setup with inside and outside parties. For example, Dropbox deduction from all parties' storage limits not just the sharer.
You can also point Syncthing at a local sync of Dropbox or Google drive and then forward the files to other recipients from that for some purposes.

Obsidian 1.5 Desktop (Public)
I think sync is a non-feature, as you can just ride on your existing solution.
For example, I use syncthing [1] with Obsidian to sync files off-cloud.

What do you use to write your fan fictions?
When I was 14 and just getting started, I used Notepad. Upgraded to Wordpad when I realized I loved putting italics in every other sentence, moved to Google Docs at around 25 when I started writing on my phone and wanted to sync with my computer, finally moved to Obsidian a few months ago (with Syncthing for syncing) when I decided I don't want to live in Google's house where they can burn my stuff down whenever they want.
What are some alternatives?
