The Card Navigator plugin transforms note browsing in Obsidian by displaying notes as interactive, scrollable cards. Users can customize card layout, appearance, and content, such as filenames, headers, and note previews. Cards can be displayed in various layouts, including auto, list, grid, and masonry. The plugin allows navigation through keyboard shortcuts and drag-and-drop functionality for note linking. Users can sort, filter, and search for cards while also managing their view with folder-specific configurations. Customization options include card size, scrolling direction, and card count per view. Preset management allows users to save and switch between different configurations. The plugin supports multiple languages and offers context menus for quick note actions, making it a versatile tool for navigating large note collections efficiently.

The Quick Cards plugin enhances directory navigation in Obsidian by displaying files in a directory as visually appealing cards. Each card showcases the note title, creation date, and a brief summary, making it easier to browse and manage notes. Users can open notes directly by clicking on a card or create new notes via a dedicated plus button. The plugin also supports automatic directory switching, adapting the displayed cards to the folder of the currently opened file. Additionally, the card appearance can be customized by modifying the included CSS file, allowing for a tailored visual experience.
