Now I’ve been expecting a few things from Obsidian’s upcoming improvements, like a new interface from data (I’m imagining Dataview but in core plugin form) as well as mobile quick capture capabilities.
Web browsing I was not expecting. But here we are. I’ve already created a video walking through everything I’ve discovered about the core plugin ‘Web viewer’ since its release, so I’m going to leave it here…
