Inkling 1.0.1

Clears both recommendations from Obsidian's plugin review of 1.0.0. Nothing changes in how Inkling looks or behaves.

• No dynamic code. The bundled PDF library (pdf.js) no longer contains any eval or new Function. The few PDFs that use PostScript functions, mostly in some gradients, now go through pdf.js's built-in interpreter: same output, slightly slower.

• Signed release files. main.js, manifest.json and styles.css carry GitHub build attestations. To check that a file was built from this repository by its release workflow:

  gh attestation verify main.js --repo Bluewolf135/Inkling
  

Full Changelog: 1.0.0...1.0.1

Inkling 1.0.0

The first release of Inkling: handwriting and annotation for PDFs and Markdown notes in Obsidian, built for a stylus and tested on an Android tablet with an S Pen.

What's in it

• Annotate PDFs with a pen, highlighter, eraser, shapes, lasso selection and sticky notes. Ink is saved into the PDF as standard annotations, so other PDF readers show it too.
• Highlights become notes. "Extract annotations to a note" turns highlights and comments into Markdown, grouped by page, each linking back to its page.
• Handwritten notes. Create a blank, lined or dot-grid notebook and write straight into it, adding pages as you go.
• Ink blocks in Markdown. "Insert ink annotation block" puts a drawing surface in the middle of a note. Its strokes are kept in an .ink file beside your attachments, so the note itself stays small and readable.
• Saves that stay small. Most PDF saves append only what changed — a kilobyte or two, even on a textbook — so sync uploads the change rather than the book.
• Feels like ink. Pressure-sensitive, curve-smoothed strokes, palm rejection, and pinch zoom.

Installing

Inkling is not in the community plugin catalogue yet.

• With BRAT: install BRAT from Community Plugins, choose Add Beta Plugin, give it Bluewolf135/Inkling, then enable Inkling.
• By hand: download main.js, manifest.json and styles.css below into <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/inkling/, then enable Inkling in Community Plugins.

Requires Obsidian 1.13 or later, on desktop or mobile.

Known limitations

• Renaming or moving an .ink file shows its blocks as missing, read-only, until the file is moved back. Renaming the note is fine.
• PDFs with forms or digital signatures, and a few with unusual structure, open read-only on purpose, with a banner saying why.
• Ink blocks render only inside Obsidian.

See the README for the details.
