People Tree 1.0.0 — Initial Release
Interactive family trees, org charts and timelines from your Obsidian vault notes.
Features
- 4 view modes — Tree 🌳, Org Chart 🏢, Timeline 📅 (horizontal + vertical), List 📋
- Drag cards freely — reposition any card by its header; layout saved automatically
- Drag notes onto canvas — drag any Markdown file from the file explorer to add it as a person
- Inline editing — edit any field directly; changes written to frontmatter immediately
- File rename — renaming the name field also renames the underlying note
- Avatars / photos — upload via drag & drop or native file picker
- Custom fields — add arbitrary frontmatter fields per person without leaving the plugin
- Couple connections — child lines start from the spouse diamond marker, not individual parent cards
- Selection highlighting — click a node to highlight it and dim everything else; click background to deselect
- Remove vs. delete — "Remove from tree" hides the note (recoverable); "Delete note" requires confirmation
- Sample family — one-click 8-person demo dataset to explore all features immediately
- File explorer icons — 👤 badge on person notes; dimmed badge for hidden persons
