Tips

• Alec suggests starting with just node and not messing with election yet.
• Ryan suggests reverse-engineering an existing plugin.

Plugin Ideas

• [[copy backlinks idea]]
• automagically make all the files in a folder appear one after another as though one file in obsidian (e.g. scrivener folder view)
• copy and paste all of the files that return in a search I run on my obsidian vault into a particular folder (e.g. all files related to "Mesopotamia") with option to concatenate or not.

Navigation

• When searching for practice programs make sure to look for "console" things to avoid the tutorials trying to get you to make a server.
• to switch from "c" drive to "d" drive just type D: into the console (which is helpfully provided by VSCode).
• to navigate to a folder in the command line, use cd i.e. cd js_projs will move from D: drive to D:\js_projs\ folder
