Obsidian definitely is the one app I couldn't live without. I use it to think, plan, explore and learn.
Right now I am experimenting with "Obsidian Depot", a small plugin (inspired by Obsidian S3 Uploader) that aims to allow uploading+reading from private S3 compatible buckets.

Why?
I have been using S3 Uploader for the longest time, and I love it! But it requires buckets to be public, which is why I don't feel comfortable putting private things like reference photos of my family in my vault.
I also don't like keeping attachments directly in my vault. They feel like clutter to me, and unlike .md files, they are prone to balloon the size of my vault, which will be problematic with Obsidian Sync + my git backups.
And well, I just love S3 (and compatible) buckets in general. Cool tech 🤷🏾♂️.

This kind of usecases makes me really bullish on this "future with AI". I am a developer and I love my job, but I also never had the time to build all the little things I wished for (or fix the quirks) from plugins and software I use.
Here, with the help of AI, I get to! While…
It's here for now. Nowhere near ready to be published. But I'll be building it (along with my other OSS stuff) in public on here and on X.

So far, here is how it has shaped up:
- 🔒 Keep images and files in your own private S3 or R2 bucket
- 🔗 Notes store a clean mybucket://photo.jpg link (mybucket can be the name you want): no public URLs, no expiring tokens
- 📋 Paste, drag and drop, or pick a file
- 🖼️ Images…
