Esta thread é para ajudar quem está interessado em dar os primeiros passos no Obsidian – o aplicativo que eu uso (grátis - incluindo a sincronização entre desktop e celular) pra organizar minhas anotações e referências.
Estou publicando um pouquinho a cada dia, confira!
> #obsidian works with plain .md files
No, it doesn't. Not only those files aren't following any of the stardard markdown flavours, but also obsidian doesn't even have official export to markdown.
That means, the moment this proprietary tool gets enshittified you might lose all your internal links and attachments.
Don't believe it? try to move to other note taker and prove me wrong
I'm asking for help from the community. Help me understand - if I keep my notes on a work project for myself, I don't share them with anyone, I just use them as PKM. Does this require a commercial license from #Obsidian?
A student can't afford to pay the $8 per month for #Obsidian sync, so builds a #FOSS alternative. Then posts to HN and says "I probably violate ToS, so will take down the repo if asked".
Then the Obsidian CEO replies. Explains they aren't VC-funded and the $8 bucks subscription keeps the light on. Applauds the work of the student, points to other open ways that content sync can be handled and gives advice "if you rename, there's no ToS problem". 👍
Every year or so, I try using #obsidian for #notetaking and such, but after a day, I always come back to #orgmode . There are just way too many extras you get being in #emacs#evil and org mode.
I'm writing a longer (as it seems) article on the lock-in effect of solutions like #Obsidian that are using open formats like #Markdown for storage. The file format is not the only thing that might lock you in.
I did already start with a list of arguments but also want to collect your ideas so that I don't forget a good argument.
Please, no emotions, just facts and objective arguments.
Reply here in this thread and I'll collect ideas from it. 🙇
Sudden realization: the new Properties feature in #Obsidian may let me do more Airtable-y things (eg, tab/type completion for fields/values) than I currently get by using #Dataview inline-fields.
Until now I only ever used the properties for aliases, and kept it set to 'Source' view as it's faster to bang them out that way.
But assuming Dataview can query properties as well as it queries its own fields (99% sure), it seems like a no-brainer. Especially as I bet the devs will keep improving.
Need help with Obsidian on Mac. In mac Settings -> Keyboard -> Keyboard shortcuts -> App Shortcuts -> All applications, I have paste mapped to ctrl-V (because I just can't get used to the command-V or whatever it is). It works for just about all other applications except in Obsidian, it jumps to the literal bottom of the note I'm writing FIRST before pasting text. As long as I'm right at the bottom the paste works, if I'm anywhere else in the doc it mysteriously jumps the cursor right to the end on the first ctrl-V and then subsequently pastes the text. I can't see any hotkey to unmap to fix this. Help! #obsidian#obsidianhelp#mac
Nytt på bloggen. Jag berättar om konsten att anteckna för ett livslångt lärande. Jag tar upp studieteknik, Zettelkasten och vikten av att organisera anteckningar som separata koncept. Jag berättar också om värdet av att göra anteckningar sökbara och återanvändbara.
I’m on my largest ‘journaling’ spree ever. Here’s what I do to keep it up:
• I only take highlights, preferably positive.
• I don’t force myself to do it every day. Some days nothing notable happens.
• I have a weekly note that aggregates the highlights. Something about that motivates me.
• I add a random “note of the day” that I tend to.
The highlights idea and code, I copied from the formidable Bryan Jenks.
Is it possible to make file names display in full on narrow screens, rather than being truncated? If it takes 4 lines to display the whole file name, then I want the option of a multi-line display for each file.
@ianlhayes and I aren't the only ones looking for this, and only finding it (thus far) in #Obsidian.
Anyone using a #zettelkasten tool like #obsidian, #joplin, #roamresearch etc) - do you really use the graph view and what does it help? How do you integrate it into your workflow?
I first thought I'd try it because I love mindmapping a lot, but I couldn't really make use of the graph so far.
"Even Obsidian’s most dedicated users don’t expect it to take on Notion and other note-taking juggernauts. They see #Obsidian as having a different audience with different values."
What are the values? Freedom and control.
Freedom to use an org system I created, freedom from my data stored by someone else somewhere and freedom from being dependent on one company's decisions.
Every time I travel, I’m reminded how powerful #Obsidian’s mobile app is. All the notes I need are right there, organized exactly as I organize them on my MacBook Pro, so they’re easily found and browsed when needed. A big thank you to @kepano and team for making this mobile experience so smooth!
Hello #PKM people, what do you do to ensure that your notes will be properly processed and isn't just stuff to occupy your folders? Meaning, how do you ensure that you extract value from them?
A question I am pondering as I have hundreds of notes now, and while I have made sure to turn some of them into articles, am not sure about everything else. Am curious to know how you extract value from your notes.
