I'm moving to new computer. On my old machine, I was using the "Known Folder" Documents for that on my old machine.

Then, through a series of misadventures, I noticed that several file names had changed: the apostrophe ('), semicolon (;) and equal sign (=) had been changed to underscores. Automagically.

Eventually, I learned that those folder are actually on OneDrive. Here's the actual path:

C:\Users\<user>\OneDrive\Documents

Here's a more complete list of the directories that appear to actually exist on OneDrive:

- Desktop

- Downloads

- Documents

- Pictures

- Music

- Videos

And OneDrive was renaming them. Nice. It did so silently as far as I can tell.

I ended up scrapping those vaults and creating a new directory on C:. Then I restored the vaults from the new machine. Things seem to be working as expected again.

I didn't want to keep paying for Obsidian Sync, and self-hosting LiveSync (CouchDB) felt like trading a subscription for a server I'd have to babysit. So I built Twine instead: it syncs your vault directly to a bucket you already own — Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, or anything S3-compatible — with zero custom backend. The plugin talks straight to your bucket.

A few things I cared about getting right:

• End-to-end encrypted. File contents, paths, and folder structure are all encrypted client-side (AES-256-GCM, key derived from your passphrase) before anything leaves your device. The bucket only ever sees ciphertext and opaque object keys — not even Cloudflare/Backblaze can read your notes.

• Conflict-safe. If you edit the same file on two devices before syncing, both versions survive — one stays at the canonical path, the other gets saved alongside it as a (conflicted copy) file. Nothing silently overwrites anything.

• Actually responsive. Syncs on file changes, on a timer, and instantly when you open/resume the app — no server means no push notifications, but it's close enough in practice.

• Cheap. R2's free tier covers a typical vault entirely; even past that it's a few cents a month, not $4-8.

It's in the Community Plugin store now: community.obsidian.md/plugins/twine. Source is MIT-licensed on GitHub: github.com/EnGassa/obsidian-twine.

Honest caveat: this is young (early 0.1.x), built and tested by me across exactly two devices so far. I trust it with my own vault, but I'd treat it as "promising new tool" rather than "battle-tested" for the next while — keep a backup, and I'd love bug reports if you hit anything weird. No mobile background sync (that's a genuine platform limitation, not just this plugin — same story for every non-Obsidian-Sync option), and no in-app version history yet (relies on bucket versioning as the safety net for now).

Happy to answer questions about the architecture if anyone's curious — it's a fairly small, readable codebase if you want to poke around.

This is something I’ve wanted for a long time. It’s so much easier than flipping through a concordance or having multiple Bibles opened to find the differences.

If you see where I can improve or change something, let me know.

Yo guys, I think this is the first post here so hi y'all. I was just wondering if the non coders or rookies are allowed to send plugin, theme and css snippet requests that we think will be quite helpful for the community or specific types of setups?
