+## Obsidian Sample Plugin
+
+This is a sample plugin for Obsidian (https://obsidian.md).
+
+This project uses Typescript to provide type checking and documentation.
+The repo depends on the latest plugin API (obsidian.d.ts) in Typescript Definition format, which contains TSDoc comments describing what it does.
+
+**Note:** The Obsidian API is still in early alpha and is subject to change at any time!
+
+This sample plugin demonstrates some of the basic functionality the plugin API can do.
+- Changes the default font color to red using `styles.css`.
+- Adds a ribbon icon, which shows a Notice when clicked.
+- Adds a command "Open Sample Modal" which opens a Modal.
+- Adds a plugin setting tab to the settings page.
+- Registers a global click event and output 'click' to the console.
+- Registers a global interval which logs 'setInterval' to the console.
+
+
+### Releasing new releases
+
+- Update your `manifest.json` with your new version number, such as `1.0.1`, and the minimum Obsidian version required for your latest release.
+- Update your `versions.json` file with `"new-plugin-version": "minimum-obsidian-version"` so older versions of Obsidian can download an older version of your plugin that's compatible.
+- Create new GitHub release using your new version number as the "Tag version". Use the exact version number, don't include a prefix `v`. See here for an example: https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-sample-plugin/releases
+- Upload the files `manifest.json`, `main.js`, `styles.css` as binary attachments.
+- Publish the release.
+
+### Adding your plugin to the community plugin list
+
+- Publish an initial version.
+- Make sure you have a `README.md` file in the root of your repo.
+- Make a pull request at https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-releases to add your plugin.
+
+### How to use
+
+- Clone this repo.
+- `npm i` or `yarn` to install dependencies
+- `npm run dev` to start compilation in watch mode.
+
+### Manually installing the plugin
+
+- Copy over `main.js`, `styles.css`, `manifest.json` to your vault `VaultFolder/.obsidian/plugins/your-plugin-id/`.
+
+### API Documentation
+
+See https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-api
