This project is a fork of i-iooi-i/obsidian-memoria.
Original concept and architecture by i-iooi-i.
This fork adds substantial new features and UI improvements, listed below.

What's Different from Upstream

Since forking from Memoria v2.3.7, the following has been added or changed:

Editor & Input

• Native Obsidian Editor — Full CodeMirror live-preview editor embedded directly in the input card (via ephemeral WorkspaceLeaf), supporting all Obsidian shortcuts, wikilinks, callouts, tables, and task lists
• Configurable editor height — Set in settings (60–600px)
• Ctrl+Enter submit with debounced draft auto-save

Storage

• Dual storage modes — Choose between YYYY-MM-DD.md (daily) or YYYY.md (yearly) files in settings
• Migration command — One-click migrate daily files into yearly format via command palette

Layout

• Waterfall/card layout — Sticky-note style multi-column masonry grid with subtle rotation, pastel tints, and hover elevation
• Standalone sidebar view — Sidebar can be opened in Obsidian's left dock as an independent pane (Ctrl+P → Open independent sidebar)
• Responsive sidebar — Auto-collapses at narrow viewport widths (960px)
• Quick filter tabs — Underline-style tab bar below the topbar for fast preset switching
• Customizable brand title — Set to any text or leave empty for icon-only

Card Preview

• Native hover-link preview — Wiki links use Obsidian's built-in Page Preview (registered as HoverLinkSource)
• Full Obsidian reading view — Cards rendered with markdown-preview-view and markdown-rendered CSS classes for complete theme compatibility

Data Report & Year View

• Stats overview — Redesigned bignum cards with accent top bars
• Year panorama — Month memo count badges, current-month highlight, clickable month labels
• Tag cloud — Interactive hover scaling

Author

• Rebranded as Motes by Hencter Lew（亦幸）
• All internal identifiers, CSS classes, and plugin ID updated

Motes is a lightweight note plugin for Obsidian. It gives you a quick-capture input with native editor, a waterfall-style timeline, tag search, image paste and drag support, task checkbox writeback, pinning, starring, statistics, and a year panorama view.

All notes are stored as ordinary Markdown files in your vault. Motes does not lock your data into a database or a proprietary format.

Main features:

• Native Obsidian editor with full live preview
• Plain Markdown storage in daily or yearly files
• Waterfall card layout with sticky-note style
• Tag autocomplete and combined tag/keyword search
• Image paste, drag, and file-picker capture
• Independent sidebar view, heatmap, calendar, stats, and year panorama
• Quick filter tabs for fast view switching
• Mobile-friendly layout
• Chinese and English interface

这是什么

Motes 是一个 Obsidian 笔记插件，帮你在 Obsidian 里以瀑布流的方式快速记录想法。所有数据存为纯 Markdown 文件，停用插件也不影响阅读。

和原版 Memoria 的区别

本版本 Fork 自 i-iooi-i/obsidian-memoria v2.3.7，在此之上做了大量改动：

• Obsidian 原生编辑器：输入区嵌入完整的 CodeMirror 实时预览编辑器，支持全部快捷键、双链、callout、表格、任务列表
• 双存储模式：设置可选日记格式（每天一个 YYYY-MM-DD.md）或年格式（每年一个 YYYY.md），提供一键迁移命令
• 瀑布流卡片布局：多列瀑布流 + 随意贴风格旋转 + 色纸底色
• 独立侧栏：侧栏可作为 Obsidian 左侧面板独立打开，与主视图分离
• 响应式侧栏：窄屏自动收起
• 快捷筛选 Tab：顶栏下方 underline 风格标签切换
• 品牌标题：可自定义或隐藏
• 数据报告优化：总览卡片、标签云交互、年度全景优化
• 重命名为 Motes，作者 Hencter Lew（亦幸）

安装

从 Releases 下载 main.js、manifest.json、styles.css 放入 <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/motes/，在 Obsidian 设置中启用。

或使用 BRAT 插件输入 hencter/obsidian-motes 自动安装更新。
