🚩 This project is archived! 🚩

I loved working on this project! Luckily, Obsidian now has a native plugin system with a similar API, so it isn't necesary anymore.

Volcano

A shitty plugin loader for Obsidian.

I hacked this together in a few hours because there's currently no way to load your own plugins, I'll probably archive this when the awesome Obsidian team opens up an official API.

Installation

Until I stop being lazy and add packing, you'll need Node.js to install Volcano. Once it's installed, run the following in a terminal:

npm install -g volcano

Then, run volcano to inject the plugin loader into the Obsidian executable. You'll have to re-run this whenever Obsidian updates.

Plugins

Plugins are stored in the form of JavaScript files in the ~/volcano/plugins/ directory. Check out the wiki for more information on writing plugins.

You can download some plugins from the volcano plugins repository.
