Combine whole diagram into flat article

[macin]

The way this plugin allows me to chat with chatgpt is a game changer. However, once I'm done, I'd love to be able with a single click to transfer visual notes into an article with headers and content. This would make much more sense when sharing with others as visual format can easily get to large to share as pdf and be understandable by the receipient.

@macin Thanks for the feedback. A feature could be added to compile selected canvas notes into a single file note. Would this work? What were you thinking of RE headers?

Hah, I haven't picked up TS or Python yet. In fact, I can't code at all.
I can loosely understand what's going on in python when I see it, though I rely on GPTs for coding tasks at present.
Having said that, I'm extremely proficient with LLM prompting and no-code/low-code workflows -- as you might imagine. ;)
I also have a knack for data and complex business strategy.

@VentureTactics, I think the way to implement canvas command nodes would be with a new plugin.
Canvas Commander would enable you to create command nodes. The available commands could be extended by users or by other plugins.
Chat Stream could register commands with Canvas Commander automatically, or CCommander could have its own ancestor walking and AI completion commands.
Commands like your http-request command could be implemented as extensions.

It might be worth adding executable canvas nodes as feature request for the core team, to see if it gains any traction. I'll take a look.

[rpggio]

Added feature request.

[VentureTactics]

A separate plugin would probably be perfect.
Good idea.
That way it can serve more bespoke use cases.

Came across a few repos today which could be relevant in some of the aforementioned workflow steps.

Merging and un-merging canvas nodes:

For merging nodes into a single md file:
https://github.com/slnsys/obsidian-canvas2document

An alternative approach to applying canvas nodes to a document (or series of documents):
https://github.com/aarongilly/obsidian-semantic-canvas-plugin

For splitting the note back up:
https://github.com/trey-wallis/obsidian-note-splitter

Replacing pre-set variables in a md file:

For embedding a file's content into a persistent variable:
https://github.com/nates-foo/obsidian-dynamic-templates

An alternative implementation of variables (but not persistent) relying instead on one-time replacement of an inline embed with the actual content of the embedded file (instead of just a reference):
https://github.com/maxiee/obsidian-knowledge-weaver

@rpggio maybe take a look at these repos and see if there might be synergy with a few of them, or code that can help accomplish some of the workflow goals.

Oh no, I missed your questions @rpggio , sorry for that!
What I meant was just take the notes as they are, assuming the user will take care of putting headers in each of the note. I'd keep it simple...
