Still attempting to upload to obsidian community
Okay so if I am understanding correct, you:
1. Logged into the community directory
2. Claimed the plugin
3. Saw the errors
4. Deleted the plugin/unclaimed it.
5. Renamed the repo
and now you are trying to relink/resubmit and getting an error?

- In the context of note-taking and productivity, the term "blips" is famously used by journalist and tech expert Casey Newton to describe a specific capture and review system.
- The "Blips" Note-Taking System
- In his productivity setup (often discussed on the Hard Fork podcast), Newton uses "blips" as a way to handle fleeting thoughts and information:
- Definition: Small, lightweight notes based on quick thoughts, ideas, or interesting snippets of information captured throughout the day.
- The Workflow: Instead of letting these notes sit in a static folder, he uses a system (inspired by researcher Andy Matuschak) that randomly surfaces these blips within his daily notes.
- Purpose: The random "surfacing" acts as a reminder to either:
- Add new supporting information or news articles to the idea.
- Develop the thought further into a more substantial project.
- Expand the note into a newsletter article or formal piece of writing.
