0.3.0

Full Changelog: 0.2.0...0.3.0

0.2.0

OpenAI-compatible providers, applying a lens to a selection, and two new lenses.

• Model providers: point Lens at any OpenAI-compatible endpoint — OpenAI, OpenRouter, Groq, DeepSeek — or a local, keyless server (Ollama, LM Studio). Anthropic still streams token-by-token; other providers return the full reply at once. Choose a provider, model, and (for hosted services) a key in Settings → Lens → Language model.
• Apply to a selection: with text selected in a note, the lens runs on just that passage and skips linked-note context; the panel header reflects the live selection.
• Two new default lenses: Connect (non-obvious links and cross-domain analogies) and Socratic (the sharpest open questions, left open).
• Frontmatter is now stripped from the note and its linked context, so the model examines the idea rather than the metadata; size warnings distinguish a trimmed note from trimmed links.
• Clearer, provider-labelled error messages.

Existing vaults migrate automatically — your Anthropic key and model are preserved.

Install (manual): download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css into <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/lens/, then enable Lens in Settings → Community plugins. Requires Obsidian 1.11.4+. Works with Anthropic (your own API key) or any OpenAI-compatible provider, including local models with no key. Desktop only.

0.1.1

Friendlier failures and a guided first run.

• Empty state now offers a button to set up your Anthropic API key, and refreshes once a key is saved
• Anthropic and network errors surface as plain, actionable messages instead of raw API output
• Context size is capped (note length, linked-note count and length) with a heads-up when a large note is truncated
• Empty notes no longer spend a request

Install (manual): download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css into <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/lens/, then enable Lens in Settings → Community plugins. Requires Obsidian 1.11.4+ and your own Anthropic API key. Desktop only.

0.1.0

First public release of Lens — apply LLM thinking lenses (Challenge, Steelman, Concretize, or your own) to an atomic note and explore the result in a side panel.

Install (manual): download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css into <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/lens/, then enable Lens in Settings → Community plugins.

Requires Obsidian 1.11.4+ and your own Anthropic API key. Desktop only.
