agentandClaude 677a8dde4f Initial commit: hermes-wiki-viewer v0.2.0
Fork of DanielCheer/obsidian-web-viewer (MIT, 2026-04) with Lukas' first
additions for the Hermes Wiki workflow.

Additive customization layer (vault-custom.js) — keeps upstream-merge
trivial via a one-line script tag in vault.html.

Features added:
1. Current-page highlighting in 3D Graph — current node gold+glow,
   connected nodes light-blue, others dim to 20% opacity
2. Click-to-navigate on graph — Three.js raycaster triggers file load
3. Responsive layout — graph collapses below 1024px, tree below 768px
4. URL-based deep-linking via ?file=<path> query param
5. Server-side ?file= support in /api/vault/file/ endpoint

Modified files:
- server.py: +7 lines (Lukas-add: ?file= query param parsing)
- vault.html: +1 line (script tag for vault-custom.js)

New files:
- vault-custom.js: 11KB, all customizations in one place under HermesCustom namespace
- README.md: fork intro, quick start, customization guide
- CHANGELOG.md: Lukas-additions tracking
- docs/ARCHITECTURE.md: design rationale
- docs/CUSTOMIZATIONS.md: feature spec
- .gitignore: standard

# Hermes Wiki Viewer
A customizable Obsidian-vault viewer with 3D Graph visualization, current-page highlighting, and responsive layout. Designed specifically for Lukas Huber's [Hermes Wiki](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent) workflow.
**This is a side-project fork of [DanielCheer/obsidian-web-viewer](https://github.com/DanielCheer/obsidian-web-viewer)** (MIT, 2026-04) with customizations layered on top via an additive `vault-custom.js`. Upstream patches merge cleanly because we touch exactly one line of `vault.html`.
## Features (in addition to upstream)
- **Current-page highlighting in 3D Graph** — the node representing the open file gets a brighter material and a glow outline; connected nodes (via `[[wikilinks]]`) are also highlighted; unrelated nodes dim to 20% opacity
- **Click-to-navigate on 3D Graph** — Three.js raycaster triggers file navigation on node click
- **Responsive layout** — graph collapses to a bottom panel below 1024px viewport; tree collapses to hamburger menu below 768px
- **Backlinks panel** (planned) — see CHANGELOG.md
## Features (from upstream, unchanged)
- File tree sidebar (collapsible folder tree)
- Markdown rendering with code blocks, tables, blockquotes, images
- Wikilink navigation (`[[links]]` click-to-traverse)
- YAML frontmatter rendered as styled card
- Full-text search by note name and content with snippets
- 3D graph visualization (Three.js) showing note connections
- Catppuccin-inspired dark theme
- Zero client-side setup — anyone with the URL can browse
## Architecture
See [docs/ARCHITECTURE.md](docs/ARCHITECTURE.md) for the design rationale (why `vault-custom.js`, why the minimal `vault.html` patch, why we don't fork aggressively).
## Quick Start
```bash
# Clone
git clone https://github.com/LukasHuber/hermes-wiki-viewer.git
cd hermes-wiki-viewer
# Optional: PyYAML for frontmatter
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Point to your vault
python3 server.py --vault /path/to/your/vault --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8765
# Open http://localhost:8765
```
For Tailscale access (Lukas' typical setup), pair with `tailscale serve`:
```bash
tailscale serve --bg --https=443 http://127.0.0.1:8765
# Access via https://<hostname>.<tailnet>.ts.net/
```
## Customization
`vault-custom.js` is Lukas' own code, organized into clear sections:
```js
// Current-page highlighting
window.HermesCustom = window.HermesCustom || {};
HermesCustom.highlightCurrentNode = function() { ... };
// Graph click-to-navigate
HermesCustom.setupGraphClickHandler = function() { ... };
// Responsive layout
HermesCustom.responsiveLayout = function() { ... };
```
To add a new customization, add a method to `HermesCustom` and call it from `HermesCustom.init()` at the bottom of the file.
## Updating from upstream
```bash
git remote add upstream https://github.com/DanielCheer/obsidian-web-viewer.git
git fetch upstream
git merge upstream/master
# Conflicts should only occur in vault.html — the one-line patch
```
If `vault.html` has been heavily modified upstream, manually re-apply the single patch:
```html
<!-- Add before </body>: -->
<script src="vault-custom.js"></script>
```
## License
MIT — same as upstream. See [LICENSE](LICENSE).
## Author
Lukas Huber — see [Personal-Profile](https://github.com/LukasHuber) for context.
This fork exists to make the agent-wiki viewing experience fit Lukas' specific needs (3D graph focus, responsive layout for mobile reading, current-page highlighting for fast cross-page navigation).
