Hi friends,

Greetings from the hive!

These last weeks I've been thinking more about Kepano's (Obsidian CEO) "In Good Hands" post.

It's how I see and use software as well, thinking of delightful ones such as Obsidian, Raycast, Neovim, and Ghosttyy.

Part of that is also how I want to, and they allow me, to interface with them.

For example, I want to use Raycast to query Obsidian data, such as Tasks, using the Obsidian CLI and Bases features.

To scratch that itch I'm working on a personalized "Obsidian" Raycast plugin.

What personalized software are you building?

Let's take this week by swarm!
