Screenshot

[!NOTE] Quote data comes from the Quotable API, but that API is never contacted at runtime. The plugin doesn't use the network.

Obsidian plugin to show quotes in periodic-quote codeblocks. They are refreshed daily or bidaily, depending on your settings.

They are never written to the file itself, and instead are dynamically rendered in the codeblock. This also makes the plugin a great fit for home notes and similar.

Usage

Make a code block with the periodic-quote language.

Configuration

You can configure the plugin per-codeblock by writing yaml inside of it:

background: false # Default to false, show a background in the quote block, or hide it to match actual blockquote styling
period: "daily/bidaily" # Default to bidaily, this chooses if the quote is refreshed once or twice a day
