Save video notes to Obsidian automatically

Steps

1. Install peepshow

   npm install -g peepshow

2. Point peepshow at your vault

   export OBSIDIAN_VAULT=/Users/you/Obsidian/MyVault

3. Run with the Obsidian sink

   peepshow ./demo.mp4 --sink obsidian

4. Auto-sink for every run

   peepshow sinks add obsidian

Why it works

Obsidian is the default note-taking tool for many devs and researchers. peepshow's sink writes plain markdown into your vault — fully offline, fully greppable. Backlinks land in a `peepshow-index.md` so every run is one click from the latest entry.

When it helps

• Research / academic workflows where video notes need permanent storage.
• Journalists / investigators logging clips for case files.
• Personal knowledge bases — every Loom drop becomes a note.

Pitfalls

• Vault path must be writable; iCloud-synced vaults work but may delay on first sync.
• Large transcripts embed inline — pass `--transcript-collapse` to hide behind a callout.
