ereduled/beeminder-obsidian-word-count

Beeminder integration with Obsidian, so that your word count in Obsidian contributes to your writing goals.

Obsidian Plugin - Beeminder Word Count

This is a small plugin for Obsidian -> Beeminder word count integration.

• Obsidian https://obsidian.md
• Beeminder https://www.beeminder.com

What it does

1. Once installed, it will register command called "Send word count to Beeminder".
2. When command is selected, it'll count the words in current editing file. It will only count the actively selected area.*
3. It then sends the value to the Beeminder endpoint.

*For my use-case, I do not want to over report the word counts when I edit the same file over multiple days.

Setup

• Installing the plugin will register new setting in Plugin Options tab.
• Go to that tab, enter following 3 values:
  • user name for your Beeminder account
  • goal name to which word count will be posted to, and
  • auth_token specified by http://api.beeminder.com/#personal-authentication-token.
