A better Obsidian starter plugin (back when starters mattered)

Filestarter — first known as obsidian-plugin-starter — was built because Obsidian's own sample plugin is so simple it's useless: a single ribbon icon and a hello-world modal. We wanted a starter that actually showed off the API surface, with current dependencies and modal/command patterns wired in. Logged retrospectively from 2026, because the world has changed since.
