Folder notes is a plugin for the note taking app Obsidian that lets you attach notes to folders so that you can click on the name of a folder to open the note like in the app Notion. This plugin has some unique features that separate it from similar "Folder note" plugins like opening folder notes through the path, creating folder notes for every existing folder, templater/template support and more.
