Ben's Obsidian Boilerplate
An opinionated boilerplate for people using Obsidian.
If you're new to Obsidian, I'd recommend just using it without any plugins or configs. Just get familiar with the interface as a Markdown editor and linking things.
Once you're more acclimated to it, then feel free to take pieces of inspiration from the boilerplate!
