The NyanBar plugin adds a fun and colorful twist to task tracking in Obsidian by providing a Nyan Cat-themed progress bar. Users can easily track their task progress by entering a percentage from 0 to 100 or use the 'auto' feature, which automatically updates based on the completion of checkboxes within a note. The plugin brings a playful element to productivity and makes task progress visually engaging. While the progress bar update feature is still under development, the plugin offers a unique and lighthearted way to visualize task completion.
