Repository general update suggestion

[konhi]

This repository is popular among Obsidian users. Currently, it has +250 stars and it's often mentioned both in Forum and Discord server.
I think it may be worth to add few things to make it more useful for users and contributors.

License

Currently, there's no license, which may lead to several problems. I suggest adding a license, e.g. MIT.

Let me know what do you think about these changes. I'm happy to help working on it!

I would also be happy to give you guys (@Dmitriy-Shulha and @konhi) push access to awesome-obsidian if you would like to maintain a list of CSS snippets there. I by no means want to take the credit away from you or anything, but it would be nice for the Obsidian community to have a central place were stuff like this can be found - which is what awesome-lists are generally made for.

As @konhi rightfully mentioned here, the CSS section of awesome-obsidian is quite outdated, and I've been meaning to revamp it. I would love to have your help in doing so 😄

If you prefer, I could also just link from awesome-obsidian to here, that's no issue. However, I do think these snippets would reach a wider audience if they are contained within awesome-obsidian and not behind a bunch of links. Excited to hear what you think!

[konhi]

@kmaasrud thanks for reaching out there! I believe that it is indeed a good idea to focus on awesome-obsidian repo, it has crazy amount of stars and references on internet (well done with achieving that!). And I personally love awesome-lists! 💕
Push access is too much for an unacknowledged person like me! 😅But I would love to work on snippets at awesome-obsidian!

[kmaasrud]

But I would love to work on snippets at awesome-obsidian!

That's awesome, thanks! I love the example you provided here, so I feel that is the way to go 👍 I'll make a new issue on awesome-obsidian with you tagged in it with more details

@konhi, @kmaasrud: 2 days ago I saw a brief discussion between Chetachi and SlRvb about possibly setting up a central snippet collection. Might be useful to coordinate with them.

[konhi]

@DutchPete thanks for this useful information! Could you please provide some link to this discussion?

[DutchPete]

@konhi I cannot find it - Discord search is awful.
Best to contact either one of those ladies directly.

It would be great to verify/confirm which of these CSS snippets still work with latest Obsidian version: 1.3.5 public and 1.4.1 Catalyst private releases.

[DutchPete]

@SemanticBeeng some will still work, some might not. If you see a snippet that interests you, feel free to try it out. If it does not work, report it here and we'll delete it.

[SemanticBeeng]

Indeed makes sense.
But not clear how to verify because there is no example of success. Or original source/context to track updates/evolution.
Was hoping the original author can best recover that knowledge.

[DutchPete]

You have to understand that those snippets were put at the time when I started collecting them in 2020/2021.

There is no evolution as such, it is not like a proper software project on Github. That is why I said to just try one you like/need, put it in your snippets folder and see the result.
