Here are some Obsidian plugins that some of you might like

Obsidian is free software that I use quite often, and you can customise it with plugins. The plugins are easiest to install in the plugin section of the settings, but I thought I would share some that might be useful.

Writing:

• Obsidian Writing Goals: Adds a sidebar with wordcount progress bars
• Editing Toolbar: Adds a toolbar simular to MS word
• Floating TOC: If you use headings in a note, this will create a table-of-contents which shows up when you hover over the icon, so you can easily jump to different sections.
• Task Progress Bar: Creates a to-do list with a progress bar
• Obsidian Writing Plugin: I haven't used this one myself yet, but it formats your book for ebook, and shows a preview of how it will look as an ebook. You can also set writing goals.

World Building:

• Calendarium: create a fantasy calendar where you can even customize moon cycles
• Timelines
• Mind Map
• Obsidian Tabs : creates tabs within a note, so you can easily jump between subjects
• Obsidian Avatar: adds a image on one side, with text on the other.
• multi-column-markdown

Misc:

• Local Backup
• Iconize
• Clear Unused Images
• Beautitab
• MakeMD

I am a bit of a resource cataloger even if I don't use them myself, so I hope this list helps someone out there!

• 🆓yWriter: It is not the most sleek looking program, but it works.
• 🆓Google Docs
• 🆓Slugline
• 🆓Highland
• 🆓 Wavemaker
• 🆓 Joplin: The cloud hosting does cost money. Open source alternative to Evernote.

CaptObvious: A workaround to sync Joplin across devices and keep a cloud backup at no cost: Create a NextCloud account (Webo and Tab.Digital have good free accounts) or self-host your storage. Move Joplin’s folder to the NextCloud directory for sync to all devices. Enable E2EE on Joplin and it should be good to go.

• 🆓 Only Office: This one is good for people who want a private cloud-hosted alternative to Google Docs. It is open-source.
• 🆓️ LibreOffice: Open-source alternative to Google Docs or MS Word. (Suggested By: CaptObvious)
• 🆓 Obsidian: I have started using this for world building, but many authors use it for writing. Within it, you can create your own wiki, and view connections in a cool graph. It is open source, and has many plug-ins you can add.
• 🆓Anytype: The program is free and private, but for the cloud, you have 1GB of storage, then you’ll need a plan for more.
• 🆓 Manuskript: Looks similar to yWriter, but with some different features
• 🆓 Bibisco: A writing and note organizer program with timelines, mind-maps, and more.
• 🆓 Reedsy Book Editor: It is online(not self-hosted/a program download)
• 🆓 SmartEdit: a MSWord alternative for writers that is supposed to have several helpful editing features.
• 🆓 Quoll Writer: Open-source, and has several unique features, such as “warm up session.”
• 🆓 Trillium: Self-hosted and open-source.
• Plot Factory
• 4thewords: It turns writing into a game, where you send your game character on a monster-fighting quest by writing.
