Obsidian is a note taking app. Using the plugin obsidian-microblog by otaviocc, and a small tweak, you can publish directly to snout.nu from Obsidian.

  1. Enable community plugins and exit restricted mode

  2. Install the "micro.publish" plugin (link opens in Obsidian)

  3. Replace "micro.blog" with "snout.nu":

    1. On Linux/Mac, you can run: sed -i 's#``https://micro.blog#https://snout.nu#g``' ./.obsidian/plugins/microblog-publish-plugin/main.js from the vault main directory
    2. On Windows (10 or 11), you can run (Get-Content ..obsidian\plugins\microblog-publish-plugin\main.js) -replace '``https://micro.blog``', '``https://snout.nu``' | Set-Content ..obsidian\plugins\microblog-publish-plugin\main.js from PowerShell from the valut main directory

That's it! Restart Obsidian, and your posts should now go to snout.nu instead of micro.blog. This works because micro.blog and snout.nu both support micropub, which you can learn about from the help page.

⚠️ Note: If the plugin updates, you may need to re-run step 3.
