Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

First-install notes

  • Add Obsidian and Lucide in Roblox Studio Make sure both the Obsidian and Lucide modules are in your game's ReplicatedStorage (the shared place where scripts can find them), then call SetIconModule with the Lucide module before creating interface pieces. If you forget either step, the library can error out or fail to show the icons you expect. source
  • Connect ThemeManager to the library If you plan to use theme controls, run the quick-start code that loads the main Obsidian file and the ThemeManager file, then call SetLibrary so ThemeManager knows which UI it controls. Without that connection, the theme settings won't apply and customization may look broken. source
  • Set PUID and PGID Set PUID and PGID to match your user and group so vault files have correct ownership. source
