  "textContent": "October is here, which means only one thing: Obsidian October aka O_O is here! And this year we're making O_O all about _speed_.\n\nEvery year O_O has introduced developers to the world of making Obsidian plugins. Today, there are nearly 2,000 community-built plugins. We never imagined that the ecosystem would be so rich and expansive.\n\nSo this year, we're switching things up. We want to encourage the developer community to revisit existing plugins to make them even better.\n\nIn the last few months, we have put a major emphasis on app performance while continuing to expand the plugin API. We want to see more plugins adopt these new APIs, and focus on creating a snappy experience.\n\nThis month you can join Obsidian October in the following ways.\n\n**Sign up for a plugin critique.** If you want to have your plugin critiqued by the Obsidian team, sign up on Discord.\n\n**Self-assessment.** Follow our checklists to improve your plugin, theme, or vault:\n\n  * Plugin checklist\n  * Theme checklist\n  * Vault checklist\n\n\n\n**Join new Discord channels** to showcase your project and chat with other participants.\n\n* * *\n\nWe hope everyone has a great time! 🍻",
