DataLoom offers an interactive WYSIWYG user interface for managing tabular data. It allows you to quickly create a table, edit data, and filter data based on specific criteria.

I wanted a name that would convey the functionality of rendering data from different sources.

Development planned for this plugin includes rendering data from both Obsidian sources such as folders or tags, and external sources such as the YouTube or Instagram API.

Projects allows you to create projects from folders and Dataview queries. It offers a table, board, calendar, and gallery view for your data.

While Projects focuses on offering views for managing projects, DataLoom focuses on integrating different data sources.

Projects populates table rows based on existing markdown notes. DataLoom populates table rows based on the data that is entered by the user. All data for a table is stored within a .loom file. No markdown notes are required to get started with DataLoom.

DB Folder allows you to create a Notion-like database based on folders, links, tags, or dataview queries.

DB Folder is very similar to what DataLoom intends to accomplish.

One major difference between DB Folder and DataLoom is that DataLoom doesn't require a folder. You only need to create a loom file and enter text data to get started.

Another difference is that DataLoom does not depend on Dataview. It can be installed as a standalone plugin.

DataLoom also employs its own menu system rendered in React. This allows for a more complicated user interface.

Make.MD contains rich features that enhance the native Obsidian UI to be more like Notion.so. While helpful for some users, not every user will want all of these features.

DataLoom intends to be a more simple application. It does not change the native UI of Obsidian. It is a simple React app that runs in its own view. DataLoom also stores data in JSON format in its own .loom file.

You should use this plugin if you want an easier experience managing tabular data. You should also use this plugin if you wish to create databases similar to Notion.so.

I recommend you try out the plugin and see if it can help you in organizing your second brain.

According to Obsidian developer policies, an Obsidian plugin must explain which network services are used and why.

DataLoom will make one GET request to https://api.github.com/repos/trey-wallis/obsidian-dataloom/releases/latest to pull the latest release for the What's New Modal. Besides this, DataLoom does not make any network requests. DataLoom does not include client-side telemetry.

This plugin extends the functionality of Obsidian.md. Although tested during development, there may still be bugs in the software. I strongly recommend you to make frequent backup copies of your vault. I am not responsible for any data that is lost due to the usage of this plugin.
