My collection of silverbullet-libraries

Mr.Red · October 12, 2025, 6:25pm

Because @malys brought to my attention that this is the official way to share/distribute libraries in SilverBullet.

Here is my collection of silverbullet-libraries-repo of useful widgets, functions & styles.

Currently there are only a few ones, but in the future I might upload more.

Available libraries

Admonitions_multilingual - Adds:united_kingdom: for custom admonitions
Custom_Width_and_Color_Tables - Adds custom color and width to your boring tables
DayProgressBar - Displays a Progress Bar with time left in Day
EmbedGoogleMapsWidget - it embeds Google Maps into a page as Widget
HeaderLevelToggle - Toggles header level using Shortcut keys
OpenWeatherMap_Widgets - OWM Weather widgets using slash commands
SearchBar_ModernStyle - Restyling of the “Find in Page” - Search Bar
SelectionToCodeblockToggle - Transforms Selection into a CodeBlock
TopPageBanner - Displays an embedded image on the top of the page
CodeBlock
UpdateSilverbulletLibraries - Updates Community Silverbullet-Libraries

You will also find at the end of each library the URL to the corresponding discussions.

Added a Weather Widget for OpenWeatherMaps to my silverbullet-libraries

github.com/Mr-xRed/silverbullet-libraries

OpenWeatherMap_Widgets.md

main

#meta

# Weather Widget for OpenWeatherMaps.org

## Configuration

Get your OpenWeatherMap API KEY from [OpenWeatherMap Website](https://home.openweathermap.org/api_keys). If you don’t have one, you can get one with the free plan.
Setup your **apiKey** (required⚠️) and the other optional keys in your configuration page using:

```
config.set( "owm", {
            apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY",  --required ⚠️
            refresh = 30,             --optional (minutes)
            defLocation = "Berlin"    --optional (req. for def widget)
}) 
```

## Usage

You have three slash command options:

You will need a free OWM API_KEY for it to work, but I found it more reliable than other free weather API’s.

I think I over engineered the functions a little with three different slash commands.

Feel free to try it and leave your opinions below.

Better add a space _ after ? or use ?

and %s %s → %s%s :

local owm_weather = string.format("🌡️%.1f°C 💧%d%% 🍃%s%.0f km/h %s%s ℹ️%s 🌎%s,%s", owm.temp, owm.hum, owm.wdir, owm.wind, owm.icon, owm.cond, os.date("%H:%M", owm.timestamp), owm.city, owm.country )

can you send a screenshot how it looks on your display?

because on mine without space and with the “,” look the better imho:
Current:

your proposal:

and regarding the globe emoji, i didn’t wanted to be exclusive (and let the other half of the planet unrepresented )

that’s why i chose the more general & neutral globe:

Oh, maybe that’s font-related?
About , it is indeed better to choose interms of eleminating the ambiguity.

before:

after:

Not a big problem, some personal tweaking is ok.

Mr.Red · October 22, 2025, 5:20pm

yeah that looks definitely font related.

about the tweaking: i try to make the libraries updatable, so you don’t have to change anything inside the library, but that gave me an idea to cook up something. Maybe i could add some config.set options for the format too, so you can chose what is visible. I have something like this in mind:

temp = true,
hum = false,
wind = true,
last_cache = true,
location = false,
custom_emojis = {“”,“”,“”,“”,“”}

because not everybody wants to know the windspeed, last_cache time or humidity. this could make it much more customizable, and aligned with personal preferences.
