Obsidian Dendron Plugin

Last updated Aug 25, 2022

# What

I’m planning to build a plugin for Obsidian that mimics the functionality of Dendron. Just like that alternate-file-tree plugin, it will have a separate view which will show notes, that follow a particular naming convention, in a hierarchical manner. I’ll later extend it to use Regex to refactor and rename notes.

# Why

I really liked the Dendron naming convention, and I think it’s easier to create hierarchies that way. You can achieve the same thing in Obsidian using folder-note plugin, but that is too much work and breaks the flow.

We can create notes using the same naming convention in Obsidian as well, but they look quite bad in the file explorer, and they seem quite hard to manage. They also don’t provide any helpful auto-completion or other utilities.
