POC implementation of liveblocks.io obsidian plugin

Obsidian Liveblocks

by shabegom

A POC implementation of liveblocks.io inside an obsidian plugin.

Install

1. Create an account at https://liveblocks.io
2. Grab you API Key: https://liveblocks.io/dashboard/apikeys
3. Clone the repo and add your API key to a .env file.
4. npm run build and copy main.js, styles.css and manifest.json into your obsidian plugins folder
5. Enable the plugin in obsidian

Usage

1. Create a liveblocks code block
2. Install in another vault and see if the cursors show up

Warnings

• This is just a basic POC. It is more to show that one could integrate liveblocks into an obisidan plugin and shouldn't be used in a production system.
• Cursor position breaks really easily.

TODO

• Add settings to setup auth and set a room name
• Track contents of whole notes with storageblocks
• Better cursor Decorations
• Maybe a Presence specific sidebar to show who is online?
