Volcano
A shitty plugin loader for Obsidian. No Linux support currently.
I hacked this together in a few hours because there's currently no way to load your own plugins, I'll probably archive this when the awesome Obsidian team opens up an official API.
Installation
Until I stop being lazy and add packing, you'll need Node.js to install Volcano. Once it's installed, run the following in a terminal:
npm install -g @kognise/volcano
Then, run volcano to inject the plugin loader into the Obsidian executable. You'll have to re-run this whenever Obsidian updates.
Plugins
Plugins are stored in the form of JavaScript files in the ~/volcano/plugins/ directory. Check out the wiki for more information on writing plugins.
