Hey there 👋 I am Davis Riedel. I study Computer Science at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany. In my spare time I develop the following open source projects:

Obsidian Typewriter Mode

Typewriter Mode is a plugin for Obsidian that adds several features to turn Obsidian into a typewriter-like, distraction-free writing environment, including:

  • Typewriter scrolling (current line stays at a fixed position on the screen)
  • Highlighting the current line
  • Keeping a set number of lines above and below the cursor
  • Dimming unfocused paragraphs / sentences
  • Fullscreen writing focus
  • Limit line length to set number of characters
  • Restore the cursor's position when opening files

The plugin currently has over 46,3 Tsd. downloads.

Obsidian Fast Stats

Fast Stats is a plugin for Obsidian that gives you fast, customizable typing statistics (word count, reading time, ...) in Obsidian's status bar and accessible via an API for other plugins / scripts like dataviewjs.

This plugin is still a work-in-progress and not released to the Obsidian plugin marketplace. However, you can install it via the BRAT plugin.
