YAOS – A 1-click deploy, real-time sync engine for Obsidian▲5
Hey HN, I'm a heavy Obsidian user. I recently got tired of the two usual sync tradeoffs: 1. File-based sync (iCloud/Dropbox/Syncthing) that leaves you waiting for changes to propagate, or hands you a "conflicted copy." 2. Self-hosted setups (like CouchDB) that need touching VMs and dockerized databases to sync markdown. So I built YAOS: a local-first, real-time sync engine for Obsidian. Self-hosting OSS should have better UX. You can deploy the backend to your own Cloudflare account in one click. It fits comfortably in Cloudflare's free tier (costing $0/month for normal…

Cc-md – Zero-cost Obsidian sync across iPhone, Mac, and GitHub▲8
Here's something I realized: the most AI-native knowledge base isn't a SaaS product with an API. It's a folder of markdown files on your disk. Obsidian stores everything as plain .md files. That means Claude Code (or any AI tool) can grep, read, write, and traverse your entire knowledge base with zero setup. No API keys. No OAuth. No middleware. Just local file I/O. The only missing piece was sync. I wanted my vault on iPhone (iCloud), on Mac (local), and on GitHub (backup + version history) — without paying $4/mo for Obsidian Sync. cc-md is ~400 lines of bash. iCloud handles Apple…

Obsidian Plugin Sync – CLI tool for easy Obsidian plugin development▲7
Hi HN, I built this simple command-line tool to solve a specific pain point in Obsidian plugin development. As a new plugin developer, I didn't like the idea of manually copying files from my development directory to the Obsidian vault every time I made changes. Obsidian Plugin Sync automates this process with a single command. It: - Detects plugin ID from manifest.json - Optionally builds your plugin before syncing - Copies the necessary files to your Obsidian vault - Provides a watch mode for continuous syncing during development The tool has zero dependencies beyond Python for basic…
