# Obsidian Shortform plugin

Unnoficial __AND VERY BETA__ [shortform](https://shortform.com) plugin for [obsidian](https://obsidian.md).

Download highlights from Shortform into Obsidian.

DISCLAIMERS: This is at POC level, it may destroy your vault and you can't say I didn't warn you. Also, I'm not a typescript/javascript/frontend developer

Please check the settings window before syncing to setup the application key and the directory to use.

## Installation & Usage

Install it using [BRAT](https://github.com/TfTHacker/obsidian42-brat).

Once installed and activated, you need to add your Shortform authentication token and then select where to store Book and Article highlights, select the same folder if you prefer so (I prefer them in separate ones).

### Getting the application key

Maybe someday this will be a login inside obsidian, but for now you'll have to extract it from your browser *after* you log into shortform. Extract it from one of

- Local storage as 'https://www.shortform.com' and get the value of the item `auth_token`

- Follow the much more clearer instructions on [Nicole van der Hoeven's blog](https://nicolevanderhoeven.com/blog/20210815-shortform-to-readwise/)

Once you have this, just go to Settings and store that value there.

## Mission statement

- Your data is yours forever

### Regarding the plugin

- Keep the code as simple and straighforward as possible, with the fewer amount of dependencies possible.
