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 it has 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 shown 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 bookmarks from Cubox to Obsidian.
This shortcut action can be executed on iOS. If you are using Windows and encounter issues with the length of the URL in the Edge browser, you can use Firefox to resolve the problem.
