Scenario

  • you want to add private comments to a slack thread for yourself
  • you want to privately annotate on a shared document from your team. e.g. google-doc

Current

the current approach is to make these notes privately, and link the source in the note. e.g. use [[Obsidian]] to manage those notes. And have a single place for all your private comments ideally.

Problem

There is no support for private notes in Slack (& some other apps)

There are no backlinks on the slack thread (unless I publicly post them) to my private external notes.

Proposal

It'd be great if there was a plugin for Slack to view those private notes in Slack. Or at least store a private link to my private note in Obsidian.

Ideally I would not have to search my notes, but could instantly see which threads have private notes attached.

Slack supports URL links to threads. We could have a database that gets the thread link, and links a note to it.

same concept

  • [[Google Keep]] lets you link private notes on shared docs in the google Workspace
  • annotate external files (pdf) & save comments in an .md file with the annotator Obsidian plugin. It has nice example GIFs.
  • [[Hypothesis review]] lets you annotate any website (private or public)

Notes

  • Similar to [[Obsidian private comments]]

  • Similar to [[Obsidian submodule]], because we don't want to share submodules with everyone.

  • similar to [[save quotes n lines]], we reference external data that can't reference back. (Sometimes even physical media like books)

  • Relates to [[add notes to explorer]]

  • The need for private comments is described in this google slides discussion, There's no real solution but a workaround is to use copies of the slides.

  • Except for a plugin in every single app, to link to Obsidian. Are there other solutions? 🤔 Maybe we can embed every app into another app, that keeps track of notes?

[!TODO] fleeting notes look at fleeting notes, it has both a chrome extension & Obsidian plugin. sync notes from the web ([[Chrome]]) to obsidian, and maintain a link

challenges

If linking to a specific line, what happens if the line changes? let's link to the whole doc, or thread for now.
