What people liked

  • Useful for Obsidian users who want their ChatGPT chats as notes

    • From another Obsidian junky to another. This is great! I will for certain try it out. Thank you for sharing. Edit: Would it be feasible to have this setup as an Obsidian…

    • Very cool, I just spent 15 minutes manually formatting some chatgpt responses into Markdown. I should have just checked HN instead.

Objections

  • A ChatGPT prompt asking for Markdown output can do this for a single chat

    From 1 comment
    • Not to minimise OP’s work, but if you’re looking for markdown in a single chat thread, you usually can just ask chatgpt to give you markdown in a code block.

    • Thanks, I appreciate it ! As for the Obsidian extension, how would that look like, features wise? I'm not that experienced with javascript, so this should be a fun little project…

Questions

  • Can exports be loaded back as context into ChatGPT?

    From 1 comment
    • How do you reuse your history? Is it used only in Obsidian? Is there any option to load it as context to ChatGPT?
