Background#
Cubox is an information management assistant that provides a one-stop solution for information collection, reading, management, and review. It is similar to Pocket and Instapaper, but with the advantages of being friendly within the Great Firewall, supporting WeChat, and being affordable. Cubox can capture and highlight the content of bookmarked web pages, making it a powerful tool for the Inbox phase of knowledge management.
Currently, Cubox already has the ability to sync with Notion and Readwise, but there is no official Obsidian plugin yet. If you want to import bookmarked materials into Obsidian, you can only do it manually. Fortunately, Cubox has a shortcut action feature that can simplify this process.
Configuration Steps#
- Install the advanced-uri plugin in Obsidian.
- In Cubox, customize the shortcut action as described in the Cubox Help Documentation. The configuration for Obsidian is as follows. Make sure to modify the vault and filepath parameters according to your own configuration:
obsidian://advanced-uri?vault=KnowledgeBase&filepath=Cubox/[card_title].md&mode=overwrite&data=---%0Atags: [cubox]%0Aimage: [cover_url]%0Aurl: [web_url]%0Acubox_url: [cubox_url]%0A---%0A%0A[content_markdown]%0A%0A---%0A%0A[annote_markdown] - Use the created shortcut action to share the bookmarked content from Cubox to Obsidian.
This shortcut action can be executed on iOS. For Windows users using the Edge browser, the URL may be too long to execute. In this case, you can use Firefox to solve the issue.
