Shipping an Obsidian plugin with GPT-6 Astra: scan limits, SVG icons, review delays
vista8 · x · 2026-09-07
The author shipped an Obsidian plugin in a day with GPT-6 Astra's help and shares the pitfalls:
- Plugins go on GitHub; official scanners check code, and main.js must stay under 5MB or syncing suffers
- After passing the scan it appears on the community site, but the in-app store has review delays
- No image logos allowed — only an SVG icon plus background color from the admin panel
- Forked code requires proof of upstream consent to publish; a fresh repo is safer
- Make plugins mobile-friendly; use folder-picker UI instead of manual path input
Key principle: build on Obsidian's existing components rather than reinventing them.
