Note: This is just an idea I wanted to explore and discuss. It falls outside the scope and priorities of work right now, but I still think it's something cool to keep track of for future discussion.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, Obsidian users rely on various synchronization methods such as Obsidian Sync or cloud storage solutions like Google Drive. These solutions, while effective, either come with a cost or potential security concerns. Developers and security-conscious users who prefer free, open-source tools need a secure, cost-effective, and developer-friendly solution for collaborative note-taking and file synchronization.
Describe the solution you'd like
Develop a Polykey GUI plugin for Obsidian or human operated PK-CLI capabilities to facilitate secure, encrypted file synchronization and collaboration. The plugin will interact with the Polykey agent running on users' machines to:
Start and manage the Polykey agent.
Encrypt and decrypt Obsidian vaults.
Push and pull changes to and from the shared vault.
Handle conflict detection and resolution.
Provide version control features similar to Git, allowing users to revert to previous versions of their vaults.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Obsidian Sync: A paid solution offering native synchronization but comes with a subscription cost.
Cloud Storage (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.): Commonly used for syncing files but may pose security concerns and does not offer end-to-end encryption by default.
Self-Hosted Solutions: Setting up personal servers for synchronization, which can be complex and resource-intensive.
Additional context
Target Users: Developers, security-conscious users, and those preferring free, open-source solutions.
Benefits: Enhanced security with end-to-end encryption, cost-effectiveness, integration with existing developer workflows, and robust collaboration features.
This could be a potential way of showcasing polykey's capabilities and going viral in a community that attracts devs.
Challenges: Ensuring ease of use, handling conflict resolution effectively, and providing seamless integration with Polykey and Obsidian.
Feel free to add any ideas, suggestions, or concerns regarding this project. Let's discuss the feasibility, potential challenges, and overall value of implementing this plugin.
