The team also launched a new State of Obsidian survey to replace the Gems of the Year awards, gathering community feedback on favorite plugins and tools since the Obsidian Community platform grew to over 8,000 projects. Plugin developers are encouraged to adopt new APIs like the Settings API (Obsidian 1.13) and SecretStorage for managing secrets, with community coordination happening on Discord. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What does the new Settings API in Obsidian 1.13 do for plugin developers? The Settings API introduced in Obsidian 1.13 makes plugin settings searchable, improving discoverability for users navigating plugin configuration options. Plugin developers can adopt this API during tune-ups to existing plugins, part of a broader set of additions made to the Obsidian plugin API over the past year. _Developers tracking plugin API changes like this can follow Obsidian updates on daily.dev._ ### How can an Obsidian plugin store API keys or secrets securely? Plugins can use SecretStorage and SecretComponent to let users manage secrets, such as API keys and passwords, through the Obsidian Keychain rather than storing them insecurely within the plugin itself. This API was added to give plugin developers a standard, secure way to handle sensitive credentials. _Anyone building integrations that handle credentials can follow secure storage patterns like this on daily.dev._ ## Community discussion Top comments from developers on daily.dev. **@obsidianzed** · 0 upvotes > I got excited for a second seeing the #open-source tag on a post about Obsidian, hoping for an announcement, only to be fooled. **@devgenx** · 0 upvotes > Excited to see where Obsidian is going.
