I recently published my first Obsidian plugin to the community directory<\/a>. Called Release Timeline Base View, it builds upon an older plugin that relied on Dataview. While Dataview has long been a fantastic tool for creating lists and views in Obsidian, I began transitioning away from it once Obsidian introduced its native format, Bases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

This new plugin is based on Release Timeline<\/a>, which was originally inspired by a release timeline view on Wikipedia<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

I really love using this view to organize my end of year media consumption by month, but it could easily be adapted for travel locations, projects, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Obsidian is robust and full of plugins these days, but many of them try to do too much at once like acting as a calendar, to-do list, and pet food reminder all in one. I wanted this plugin to serve a single purpose: providing a clean, no frills view for Bases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

I might add more styling options in the future if there’s demand, but for now, it should work well with whatever theme you choose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

I did use AI to help build this, and I tested it quite a bit before sharing it with a larger audience. If you use Obsidian, please install it and let me know what you think! I already have another idea I might work on next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
