Network Usage

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 lastest release for the What's New Modal. Besides this, DataLoom does not making any network requests. DataLoom does not include client-side telemetry.
