Obsidian URL Expander Plugin

This is a plugin for Obsidian (https://obsidian.md).

The plugin essentially expands shortened urls (e.g. bit.ly, t.co, etc.) to their long version as a Markdown link. The plugin was created to have more descriptivee links than the ones imported from tweets via Readwise, for example.

Commands made available by the plugin

The plugin offers 2 commands:

1. Expand selected link
2. Expand all links in the active pane

These commands are available via the command palette or via the context menu in the File pane.

Nota Bene

CMD-Z can usually be used to undo the changes.

Dependencies and Inspiration

The plugin is based on Ivan Sanchez Ortega's deshortify to expand urls and the code was highly inspired by that of Ozan Tellioglu's Obsidian Link Converter Plugin.
