Ink Buddy

Ink Buddy is an Obsidian plugin that acts as your personal writing companion. It tracks your writing session statistics and features a reactive Emoji Buddy that changes its mood and behavior based on your writing speed and status.

✨ Features

• Floating Emoji Mascot: A cute, unobtrusive emoji that floats in the corner of your editor.
• Reactive States: The mascot reacts to your typing speed:
  • 😴 Sleep: When you've been idle for a while.
  • 🤔 Thinking: When you pause briefly.
  • ✍️ Writing: Normal writing pace.
  • 🏄 Flowing: Getting into the zone!
  • 🔥 Burning: High speed writing!
  • 🤯 Exploding: Insane typing speed!
• Session Statistics:
  • Words: Words written in the current session.
  • Time: Duration of your current writing session.
  • WPH: Real-time Words Per Hour calculation.
• Per-File Tracking: Statistics reset cleanly when you switch files, letting you focus on the current document.
• Minimalist Design: Transparent, glass-morphism UI that doesn't clutter your workspace.
