2. Run npm run build.
3. Create <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/miniflux-rss-view.

Release

Use the release scripts to update plugin versions before tagging. The scripts keep package.json, manifest.json, and versions.json in sync, rebuild dist/, commit the tracked release files, and create a tag without a v prefix. The generated dist/ files are ignored by Git.

npm run release -- 0.1.1

For automatic semantic version bumps:

npm run release:patch
npm run release:minor
npm run release:major

Push the commit and tag after the release script finishes:

git push origin main
git push origin 0.1.1

Pushing the tag starts the release workflow. GitHub Actions builds the plugin, creates artifact attestations, writes release notes with the release commands and commit summary, and uploads the supported plugin files from dist/:

dist/main.js
dist/manifest.json
dist/styles.css

Disclosures

This plugin requires access to a Miniflux instance. You need to provide a Miniflux server URL and API key in the plugin settings.

The plugin sends network requests only to the Miniflux server URL that you configure. It uses those requests to load RSS entries, search entries, update read status, and open article URLs in Obsidian's core Web viewer.

The Miniflux API key is sent to your configured Miniflux server as the X-Auth-Token header. The API key is stored in Obsidian plugin data on your device.

This plugin does not include ads, client-side telemetry, server-side telemetry, or self-update mechanisms.
