<2-3 sentences summarising what the project addresses and solves, the target audience, and the benefit.> This Obsidian plugin integrates data from Douban, a Chinese media platform, into Markdown notes. It targets Obsidian users who want to catalog personal media consumption (movies, books, music, games) with details like ratings and reviews. The plugin streamlines building a personal media knowledge base within Obsidian, enabling features like personalized timelines.

How It Works

<2-4 sentences on core approach / design (key algorithms, models, data flow, or architectural choices) and why this approach is advantageous or novel.> The plugin allows searching Douban items within Obsidian and importing selected data. It supports importing titles, scores, cover images (local/remote hosting), publication details, genres, and user-specific information (ratings, comments, tags). It can sync personal consumption records and offers customization for note templates and storage paths, enhancing Obsidian workflow integration.
