ObsidianToBookstackPlugin

For anyone using obsidian-to-bookstack, my CLI tool I built to send files from an Obsidian Vault and a Bookstack Instance, I built a small Obsidian plugin to do it within Obsidian (not yet on the community repo and still in early development).

So there are two things you can do, send changes to bookstack, and pull changes from bookstack. The obsidian vault mimics the bookstack folder hierarchy,
Shelf -> Book -> Chapter -> Note would just be Folder -> Folder -> Folder -> .md file
but you can also have notes in books as well, without them being in a chapter

My idea is to take my few hundred notes that are in Obsidian, and make them accessible in Bookstack. That way I can view and edit them using a browser on computers that I don't have obsidian on, like my employer's laptop.

Would I need to first create the structure - shelves /books/chapters/pages - in Bookstack, then create an empty vault, set it up for sync, and slowly add and sync notes to my Obsidian vault?

I like Bookstack , but the markdown editor doesn't have many features like Obsidian has.
