What changed across Social Archiver

Obsidian plugin 4.1.6 strengthens reconciliation for posts already archived or deleted on the server, and makes local-only notes easier to identify and filter in the timeline.

• Reduced cases where posts already moved to Archived on the server stayed visible in the Obsidian Inbox after reloads or backfills.
• Server-deleted archives are reconciled more reliably even when local files use older source id shapes or have incomplete metadata.
• Added a Local-only quick filter and filter-panel option so you can review notes that do not match a server archive.
• Local-only posts now show a badge on timeline cards, making them easier to distinguish from server-synced items.
• The timeline index now stores local-only state, so filtering large vaults depends less on loading every full card first.

Obsidian plugin 4.1.5 fixes duplicated `@@` Instagram author handles in Markdown footers and clarifies the local authentication path for Naver Cafe archive flows.

• Instagram author handles stored with a leading `@` now render only once in Markdown footers.
• Instagram author links now point to clean profile URLs such as `https://instagram.com/patrickng`.
• Obsidian now marks the local-cookie authentication path more clearly for Naver Cafe archive and subscription requests.

Obsidian plugin 4.1.4 stabilizes timeline and archive list ordering so items follow their actual archived time.

• Timeline and archive views now sort by actual archived time.
• Filtered and searched views are less likely to place newly saved items below older archives.
• Aligned shared ordering logic with mobile, desktop, and web clients.

Obsidian plugin 4.1.1 surfaces failed and limited archive attempts in the Inbox, while improving web article Markdown preservation and subscription sync replacement logic.

• Open the original link from a failed card, or remove cards you no longer need.
• Added a setting to keep failed archive attempts for later review, synced with mobile and other clients.
• Web article bodies that contain horizontal rules are preserved as full Markdown instead of being mistaken for metadata footers.
• Subscription sync can now replace truncated web article notes with richer raw Markdown content.

Plugin 4.1.0 receives bulk imports from the Chrome extension — Reddit saved posts, X bookmarks, and Instagram saved/your posts land as vault notes in one run, media included, with no account and no quota. It also includes several stability fixes.

• Posts collected in the Chrome extension save into your vault as notes via a single deep link — media included, and never touching the server, so they never use your monthly archive quota.
• Close Obsidian mid-import and it resumes on next launch. Run "Scan clip inbox" from the command palette to drain any pending batch anytime.
• Fixed bulk-delete hover contrast, per-device sync client identity, and LinkedIn local clipping.

This mobile update lets you long-press archived links to create connected archives, adds @ mentions in the note composer, and improves Reader export syncing.

• Added an opt-in mirror setting under `Frontmatter settings → Archive tags` to write archive tags into Obsidian `tags`.
• Existing Obsidian tags are preserved, while synced archive tags remain canonical in `archiveTags`.
• Existing notes are refreshed when remote/library sync enriches a synced archive with downloaded media.
• Removed the Buy Me a Coffee support button and funding link now that Social Archiver is commercial.

This update adds direct Substack Notes archiving and fixes how quoted/shared posts are handled.

• Substack notes are archived directly with full text, author (avatar/bio), and likes/restacks.
• A note's reply thread is captured with its nesting preserved.
• Multi-image notes show as a carousel (matching mobile) and download into your vault, instead of a stacked article layout.
• Note videos are preserved as a playable MP4 instead of an unplayable streaming link.
• Restacked notes that quote a highlight render as a blockquote with a link to the source post.
• Posts shared via the Notes UI (`/note/p-…`) and app post links (`/@handle/p-…`) are archived as full articles instead of failing.
