## Plugin News - The new & (mostly) improved version of the Neo4j Graph View plugin by Emile van Krieken made it through code review and is now in the community plugins list as [Juggl](https://github.com/HEmile/juggl). You no longer have to install Python or Neo4j, it works on mobile, you can save your graph view, it can be embedded directly into your notes with a code fence, and it lets you control the styling (or not, if you'd rather keep it simple) with a style pane, [YAML](https://help.obsidian.md/Advanced+topics/YAML+front+matter), and CSS. - Dataview, Templater & Outliner are getting a lot of discussion. [This video from Bryan Jenks](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2234DXKbNgM) does a good job of giving an overview. For example, the Dataview plugin can be leveraged to create [a list of inbound or outbound links inside a note](https://discord.com/channels/686053708261228577/710585052769157141/831906062281605210). This is a frequently requested thing, and seems more powerful at first glance than using the "[Backlinks in Document](https://github.com/mrjackphil/obsidian-backlinks-in-document)" hack.   - [Dual](https://psionica.org/docs/workshop/dual/) is an open source virtual assistant plugin that leverages GPT-2 to let you talk to your notes. It's currently in the very alpha stages and takes about an hour and some know-how to get set up, but if you want to go be an early adopter and help the developer improve it, `@paubric` has a lot of enthusiasm and a [Discord server](https://psionica.org/docs/workshop/dual/#join-us) set up. - `@mgmeyers` created a new [CSS snippet](https://github.com/mgmeyers/obsidian-style-settings/blob/main/obsidian-default-theme.css) for the [Style Settings](https://github.com/mgmeyers/obsidian-style-settings) plugin that lets you tweak every CSS variable of the default Obsidian theme. - [Media Extended](https://github.com/alx-plugins/media-extended/releases/tag/2.1.0) now supports embed YouTube and Vimeo video fragment with time stamps. - [Hotkey Helper 0.2.0](https://github.com/pjeby/hotkey-helper/releases/tag/0.2.0) now supports configuring core plugins as well as community plugins. ## Workflow Stuff - `@rsteele` got Working Copy to work with [git-based syncing for iOS](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/mobile-setting-up-ios-git-based-syncing-with-mobile-app-using-working-copy/16499). ## CSS Tips & Tricks - [Use HTML classes to highlight things in different colors](https://github.com/deathau/obsidian-snippets/blob/main/realistic-highlight.css) via `@death_au` got resurfaced. - Icons in the start of folder & note names is a popular request. There are [a couple of ways to achieve the effect](https://github.com/eleanorkonik/-palatinate/blob/main/emoji-icons.css). - `@liam` shared CSS for getting [pagebreaks in .pdf exports](https://gist.github.com/liamcain/81679412643690a7cdd13dff4dc909ce). ## PKM Tips - [an article by Tiago Forte about the PARA method](https://fortelabs.co/blog/para/) - [CGP Grey on Atomic Notes](https://www.relay.fm/cortex/105) ## Feature Requests - [Let us see a note count for how many search results we have.](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/note-count-for-search-results/2166) (originally from June '20 – 8 💜 at last check) - Tables that are [sortable in preview](https://discord.com/channels/686053708261228577/707816848615407697/831154650342096896) has been requested.`@alex.dinu` and `@liam` spent some time discussing the particulars, and now `@alex.dinu` is looking into markdown post-processing. Reach out if you have any insight – I imagine this would be useful for a lot of people! ## Ancillary Tools - [Focal Board](https://www.focalboard.com/), billed as an 'offline, open-source Notion'
