  • obsidian-db-folder

    Obsidian Plugin to Allow Notion like database based on folders

  • Google Keep for quick capture (simple copy-pasting links from mobile) and Notion for project management (although I think the Database Folders and Projects plugin can do a similar job)

  • obsidian-projects

    Plain text project planning in Obsidian

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • zotero

    Zotero is a free, easy-to-use tool to help you collect, organize, annotate, cite, and share your research sources.

  • While I like taking and linking notes in Obsidian, I still much prefer using Zotero to organize and annotate papers because of all its built-in features. It's good that there are community plugins that bridge the two, and I much prefer this division than forcing an awkward workflow in the former.

  • obsidian-execute-code

    Obsidian Plugin to execute code in a note.

  • Other read-only solution https://safjan.com/reading-csv-with-obsidian-dataview-dataviewjs/ for csv files. Obviously working with spreadsheets requires manual or automatic export to csv. For that you could use obsidian-execute-code. When using the run button, the script could print when it was run previously.
