Rootweave

An Obsidian plugin for conlang (constructed language) worldbuilders.

Manage your roots, build and validate words in real time, maintain a dictionary, and translate sentences — all inside your vault. All data is stored as plain Markdown tables so your notes are readable even without the plugin.

Built for Hack Club Stardance.
