Introducing Nostr Writer Obsidian Plugin 📝
Obsidian Nostr Writer 🚀
Obsidian is an amazing markdown editor, word processor, note organiser, and idea synthesiser: the perfect tool for writers.
Nostr represents the future of how we communicate and distribute the written word: decentralised, free, independent, incorruptible.
They seem to me to be a match made in heaven...
Problems & Solutions 🚨
This tool is completely abstracted from Nostr, allowing you to stay focused away from the web browser - the plugin does not read Nostr messages or give you any view into the public space. It just publishes what you've written. Stay focused on your work and disconnected from the noise..

Security Notice ✋
This plugin stores your private key within your local Obsidian settings file, specifically in:
<Vault Directory>/.obsidian/plugins/nostr-writer/data.json
It is not transmitted elsewhere, but its security is fundamentally tied to the security of your device and Obsidian files.
Please be aware that if an unauthorized person gains access to your device or your Obsidian files, they might be able to access your private key. The plugin obscures the key in its settings interface but this doesn't equate to strong encryption or secured storage.
Therefore, it's important to ensure the overall security of your device and your Obsidian files to keep your private key safe.
Remember, the security of your private key is your responsibility.
