obsortian

Tested only on an Obsidian vault, but may be used for other stuff that uses markdown and YAML frontmatter.

Logic:

• Checks for files on a given path
• Removes any "exclusions"
• Checks for properties (if they exist) on the frontmatter
• Prints/ writes the files.

Current usage:

For now, it searches the tags and status properties in the frontmatter, finds the files and returns a random list of 20 files from it. (this is more of a personal thing, working to generalise it.)

You can set up which tag or status to look for in the conf.json, and set up the vault path and excluded folders:

{
    "vault_path": "/home/nibir/Documents/obsidian_vault/",
    "exclusions": ["Templates", "Scripts"], // excluded folder must be in array
    "tag": "Study",
    "status": "needs work"
}
