NoteRelay

简体中文说明

NoteRelay is an Obsidian desktop plugin for Markdown creators. It turns the active note into platform-specific previews and clipboard content for WeChat Official Accounts, Xiaohongshu, and X. It does not sign in to social platforms, store publishing credentials, or publish content automatically.

Features

Platform	Preview and formatting	Output
WeChat Official Accounts	Six built-in themes, Markdown rich text, account variables, images, and code blocks	Copy inline-styled HTML with a plain-text fallback
Xiaohongshu	Fixed 3:4 HD cards, automatic pagination, eleven themes, default and memo templates, backgrounds, avatars, and signatures	Download the current page, copy the current PNG, or export all pages as a ZIP archive
X	Long-form rich-text preview, title handling, table-to-list conversion, media position markers, and a media checklist	Copy rich text and plain text; upload images, GIFs, and videos natively in X

All three platforms support multiple creator profiles. Account details are used only for previews, signatures, and {{variable}} replacement.

Product boundaries

• NoteRelay does not provide one-click publishing, scheduled publishing, or automated login.
• It does not read or store platform passwords, cookies, or tokens.
• It does not call the publishing APIs of WeChat, Xiaohongshu, or X.
• It does not attempt to bypass platform risk controls.
• The user always reviews and completes the final publishing action in the destination editor.

Installation

Manual installation

1. Download or build main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css.

2. Create this directory in your Vault:

   .obsidian/plugins/noterelay/
   

3. Put the three files in that directory.

4. Open Obsidian → Settings → Community plugins and enable NoteRelay.

NoteRelay currently supports Obsidian desktop only.

Usage

1. Open a Markdown note in Obsidian.
2. Select the paper-plane icon in the left ribbon to open NoteRelay.
3. Choose WeChat, Xiaohongshu, or X.
4. Select an account, theme, or template and inspect the preview.
5. Copy or export the result.
6. Paste it into the destination editor and perform a final pre-publish check.

WeChat Official Accounts

• Select “Copy WeChat article” to copy rich text.
• After pasting, check images, code blocks, long links, and tables.
• Styles are emitted as inline CSS to reduce style loss in the WeChat editor.

Xiaohongshu

• The default output is 1242 × 1660 with a 3:4 aspect ratio.
• Content can be divided by level-one # or level-two ## headings.
• Long sections continue onto automatically generated pages.
• Copy or download the current page, or export every page as a ZIP archive.
• Locally uploaded avatars are validated, center-cropped, and compressed to 256 × 256.

X

• Copied content includes rich-text and plain-text formats.
• Markdown tables are converted into lists that work better in the X editor.
• Images, GIFs, videos, and X posts generate a media checklist and insertion markers.
• Because the X editor cannot reliably turn HTML images into uploaded media, add media with X's native upload controls.

Accounts and variables

Each platform can have multiple accounts and shows only the fields used by its renderer:

• WeChat: account name, account description/signature, and custom variables.
• Xiaohongshu: creator name, creator ID, avatar, bio/promo text, and custom variables.
• X: display name, username/ID, ending signature, and custom variables.

Enter one variable per line in Settings:

Column=AI Watch
AuthorName=NoteRelay
Closing=Follow me for more practical AI notes
Topics=#AI #Obsidian

Use the variables in Markdown:

# {{Column}}

Author: {{AuthorName}}

{{Closing}}

Variables without configured values remain as {{VariableName}}, making omissions easy to spot in the preview.

Supported Markdown

• Headings, paragraphs, bold, italic, and strikethrough
• Ordered and unordered lists
• Blockquotes, fenced code blocks, and inline code
• Links, images, and horizontal rules
• Tables
• YAML frontmatter
• Obsidian local image links

Each platform applies compatibility handling based on the capabilities of its editor. Always treat the final result in the destination editor as authoritative.

Local development

Node.js and npm are required.

npm install
npm run dev

Run the release checks before publishing:

npm run check
node --check main.js

Build artifacts:

main.js
manifest.json
styles.css

Using a separate test Vault and symlinking the build artifacts into .obsidian/plugins/noterelay/ can shorten the development loop.

Releases

The generated main.js file is not committed to the repository. When a maintainer pushes a semantic-version tag matching both manifest.json and package.json, GitHub Actions runs the checks and build, then attaches these files to the GitHub Release:

• main.js
• manifest.json
• styles.css

For example, to release 0.1.4:

git tag 0.1.4
git push origin 0.1.4
