Chess plugin?

Ryan_McQuen · March 22, 2025, 5:56pm

I am considering building a Chess plugin for Inkdrop. I see that Obsidian already has some, I would want this one to:

Accept a .pgn file via drag and drop.
Create a Lichess paste from the .pgn contents.
Embed an iframe of the created Lichess game inside of the note.

Does this sound interesting to anyone else?

I would also want to support using your Lichess API key, so that the games would sync to your account there.

If I am able to get this plugin off the ground, I may also build a similar/sister plugin for Obsidian.

Is there any way to add support for different file extensions within a plugin?

I get the following error when dragging a .pgn file into Inkdrop:

AssistiveError: You can only insert image files.

I’ve got it pretty much ready, just need to get around the ipm error rejecting the repo name (the plugin name does not contain ‘inkdrop’, but whatever is parsing the publish calls is rejecting it anyway).
