What problem does it solve?

Who is it for?
Solo builders extending Obsidian for PKM, automation, or a small commercial plugin side project.
Skip if: Teams only building standalone web or mobile apps with no Obsidian extension goal.

Journey fit
Obsidian plugin creation is product extension work, which sits in Build as third-party app integration. integrations fits Obsidian API surfaces—commands, events, requestUrl, safeStorage—not generic web frontend alone.
How it compares
Obsidian-specific extension builder marketplace, not a general VS Code or browser extension kit.
