Obsidian private comments

Idea¶

It’d be great if you can leave private comments in a note & store the comment in another file.
Currently when sharing Obsidian notes, all note content (including comments) is shared. Sometimes you want to share a note, and also make some private annotations.

Alternatives¶

A workaround is to embed a text block, but others will see a broken URL to your private note.

Suggestion¶

an Obsidian extension to leave private comments.

  • The private comments can be stored in another note, and are displayed at the bottom, under mentions.
  • the plugin handles connections between note and comment with a database, and the connection is not saved in the note.
