Image Gin

Toolchain current: ESLint 10.7, obsidianmd rules 0.4, and types that match Obsidian's actual runtime

Image-gin's dev toolchain catches up in one pass — and Obsidian's own upgraded lint ruleset immediately starts earning its keep by pointing at the new declarative settings API.

Drop Gate — every image asks where it should go

Image Gin now intercepts every image you drag or paste into a note and pops a single confirmation modal: vault, ImageKit, or Imgur? Built for writers who handle private client imagery and don't want a default-on third-party uploader silently shipping screenshots to a public CDN. Default is the vault. ImageKit is for less-public material that still wants a CDN. Imgur is there when something is genuinely shareable.

Publishing readiness: ESLint enforcement, eliminate any, replace innerHTML, route logging through FileLogger, replace hand-rolled YAML parser, bump to 0.1.0

Ideogram + Recraft UX parity: master size toggle, last-session persistence, frontmatter auto-init, brand-template copy rewrite

Maintenance: Update all packages, conform to Obsidian updates, support Magnific after rebrand from Freepik

Modals: Widen Magnific search to fill the viewport, beautify the result grid, fix the URL/CORS bugs that broke selection

Image-Gin's first working API call

Image-Gin came online on July 21, 2025 with the first ImageKit API call that actually placed files where they belonged — followed within minutes by the first command-launched modal that took user parameters and produced a file. The plugin's identity arrived in a single overnight session.
