Badges is a small Obsidian plugin by gapmiss that turns a bit of inline code into a colored label. What it does, the few conventions I settled on, and the parts of my setup that are still on the to-do list.
Vignelli is my open-source Obsidian theme for people who want their notes to read like a well-set print document, with serif type, gold rules and a teal highlighter.

Thread: Building this notebook ↗Deckport is my open-source Python tool that registers portable native Linux games as Steam Deck non-Steam shortcuts, with artwork, so they show up in Game Mode ready to play.
