I could just put the code into Obsidian, but I also want to use this script elsewhere (my zsh prompt) so I have put it in an executable bash script ~/bin/moon_icon

Here's what it looks like in my daily template (Dracula for Obsidian theme):

Whilst this sounds like a very small thing (I'm reusing someone else's code and it's literally a single emoji), for me it was what made me realize just how powerful Templater is. It's also a great example of what you can do locally with just a few lines of code instead of calling out to services on the internet
