sometimes i am annoyed when i find a repository on github that is a better version of something i've been working on. but this time i found an @obsidianmd vault that is entirely to have a vault of #MITRE's #ATT7CK (that's how i hashtag things using symbols in filenames sometimes too; normalize to alpha-numeric) which i was already doing a different way but this one is done and done is great.

i am learning a lot of cool things today, like #Pintora is a diagrams-as-code markup language that is parsed similar to markdown? i use mermaid and excalidraw and draw-io/diagrams-net diagrams in @obsidianmd already but Pintora is really interesting to me!

i don't know if i can get my AI assistant to understand it as well as editable svg/xml drawio diagrams, but i can't wait to find out.

Trying to migrate my video game tracker database to Obsidian, can't quite figure out how to replicate this Notion button using Meta Bind.

Hello folks! Due to some of the serious AI pushes Notion has been doing recently, I have been trying to seriously migrate my video game tracker database over to work on Obsidian. I have most of the features from my Notion one ported over, but I can't for the life of my figure out how to use the Meta Binds plugin to replicate this particular button from my Notion database entries.

!

I know Meta Bind can be pretty technical, but I'm curious if anyone has any idea how I can replicate this functionality within Obsidian. My goal is essentially to:

  1. Be able to press the button, adding the current date to a property of the document I have labeled "last".
  2. Add a bullet point with today's date below the button, creating a list of dates that I pressed the button as I press it.

Thanks for reading my post! Any help is appreciated! I've been pouring over the Meta Bind docs to try and figure this out but so far I've had no luck.

Obsidian + Zettel Notes

Mobile Quick Capture in Obsidian - Obsidian Rocks

I may be preaching to the converted on this but I was looking to solve two problems:

  • Being able to chuck down a quick note in Obsidian on mobile which can take far too long to open. I'd tried suggested solutions like Loqseq but it still felt a bit clunky.
  • Import a webpage as markdown on mobile

The latter requirement took me to Zettel Notes and then I discovered that you can just add your Obsidian archive to it and so you also have Mobile Quick Capture too, as the post link says:

> Zettel Notes checks a lot of boxes. If you need a more flexible solution for Quick Capture, and an open-source one at that, check out Zettel Notes. > > Zettel Notes is impressively flexible and versatile. It supports Markdown, synchronization through many different platforms, all forms of media including audio and video, keyboard shortcuts, properties, templates, and much more. > > If you want an app that rivals even Obsidian in features, then Zettel Notes may be for you. > > With a little bit of setup, it also makes a great quick capture app. All you have to do is install it, configure it to your Obsidian folder, and you’re off to the races! > > I did notice a few oddities in setting it up: it’s not set up perfectly for Obsidian, so you may have to fine tune it a bit to get it working like you want. See the documentation for details. > > Zettel Notes is not as easy to set up as Fleeting Notes, but it is the swiss army knife of note taking on Android. If you’re serious about Quick Capture, I recommend giving it a try. > > Pros: > > Quick startup >* Highly configurable >* Can do almost anything you could want >* Good privacy policy > > Cons: > >* Harder to setup initially >* More of a learning curve

I haven't noticed too many downsides and while I wasn't previously prepared to fully commit to Obsidian in my note-taking app journey (having started with Evernote many years ago), Zettel Notes has helped seal the deal. It's already speeding up my note-taking on the go and just become my go-to app for markdown files. I can then switch to Obsidian when I need all the bells and whistles.

Obsidian 1.5.1 Desktop (Catalyst)

Improvements on tables, mainly to add new rows and columns:

Tables

  • New buttons to quickly add a new column or row.
  • Sorting table columns now ignores formatting characters.
  • There's now a smaller minimum width for table cells.

Obsidian note inline ACSIIFlow

I realize that the lines of text in a normal file have gaps between then, which almost instantly renders this impossible, but I’ll ask anyway. I’m looking for a way to get diagrams like ASCIIFlow in my notes. I’d even settle for a dedicated tab/filetype similar to canvas. My use case here is input with a stylus on a tablet and the original site struggles. Just doing weird things with highlighting random text, because the whole page is text. Canvas kind of does what I want, but there is a speed and elegance to ACSII flow, with the added ability to copy the result as text. I often use Obsidian to write documentation, and various system diagrams often come up. Being able to use characters rather than an image would be great.

In case the “” in the title aren’t clear, I cannot actually offer any financial compensation for this, should a plugin actually be made.

I have very little to complain about #Obsidian. It's a truly remarkable app!

One thing I wish it could do is to automatically rename links when their name is changed \outside of the app\. I realise this probably isn't possible, but it'd be nice if it was.

I use the auto link renamer plugin, and it works well, but sometimes I like to bulk rename files in the Finder, and this breaks all the links associated with them.

Unless there's a way to bulk rename files \inside\ Obsidian?

I am using @obsidianmd local so no synchronization. But if I would decide to enable synchronization hosted by the wonderful people of #obsidianMD, the price is keeping me away. 8$ is not appropriate. Way to much.

Professor’s Discrete Math notes on Obsidian

Also posted to !pkms.

This is absolutely gorgeous. I take academic notes in Obsidian and am going to take several cues from this professor’s notes.

I may have also been trying to make a similar thing for math in general, including discrete mathematics. The professor’s turned out prettier than my own. Still going to make my own, taking/making the notes myself will reinforce these topics, but this is definitely a handy reference.

My Obsidian + Hugo blogging setup (Auto publishing with hotkeys)
  • @4rkal Hi, I’m interested in your Obsidian to Hugo post, but can’t see it. Do you have a direct link?

  • Obsidian + Zettel Notes
  • Seems like Obsidian could easily address this need [on Android] by adding a widget feature. Allow the user to pin a note to the home screen like Google Keep, or tap the widget to open a lightweight markdown editor which saves to a new file in the vault.

    From the linked article it does sound like they are aware of the issue and will come up with a fix. For now, I'm happy with ZN but we'll see.

  • Seems like Obsidian could easily address this need [on Android] by adding a widget feature. Allow the user to pin a note to the home screen like Google Keep, or tap the widget to open a lightweight markdown editor which saves to a new file in the vault.

    For myself, I either jot things down in a Note to Self thread in Signal or text it to myself in Slack, but its not an intuitive workflow.

  • Is anyone using the Obsidian Git plugin or another git solution to sync with Android? If so, How did you get it to work?
  • Syncthing

    It's a FOSS, real time, continuous file sync

    From personal experience, it works flawlessly between Linux and Android. And it supports Linux, Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android.

    Pairing two devices is seamless, although setting up folder sync can be a bit of a pain

    Tip:
    If you already have two copies of a folder on separate devices (A and B), you only need to add one copy into syncthing (device A). Then you can share it to the other devices (B), and map it to an [existing or new] folder on B

    If you add the folder to A and B separately, then try to share it, you get duplicate "Share" folders, and it gets a bit confusing

    The "Folder ID" should be the same across devices

  • What notes do you find yourself on most often?
  • I have what I call an “Ivy Lee” note that opens in its own window at a particular location on my second monitor every time I open Obsidian. It contains a list of things that I “must do” that day, a second set of bullets for “stretch goals” for the day and some “no need to worry about” entries in case I get anxiety about those things. I edit it the previous evening. Part of the Ivy Lee methodology I’ve been following for quite a while now.

  • Obsidian + LLM as an alternative to Notion AI?
  • If you have a 30- or 40- series Nvidia card you can probably use ChatRTX to do what you’re asking. It uses Nvidia-trained models with all your content staying local. It does require Windows 11 though, and while the site doesn’t specifically say it supports .md files it does say it supports .txt files, so I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.

  • Dear Daily Notes Users: What do you put in there?
  • @Emotional_Series7814 It stands for Plain Text. Paper, Less. I.e. I'm a plain text nerd who still uses paper, just less of it. It's the name of my weekly newsletter (details in my bio) @thegreekgeek

  • Dear Daily Notes Users: What do you put in there?
  • @thegreekgeek Sounds similar to my approach, which is highly manual just like a regular Bullet Journal. I use letters instead of bullets, e.g. N. for notes, T. for task, E. for event.
    @Emotional_Series7814

  • Dear Daily Notes Users: What do you put in there?
  • @Emotional_Series7814 My daily note is a yearly note, organised by month and date with Markdown headings.

    Having only one place to go when I want to make a note is working well. I like being able to review everything in one stream.

    I record Events, Tasks, and Notes. At review time tasks are either completed or moved to the right list, and notes are either left as is or refactored into their own space.

  • Dear Daily Notes Users: What do you put in there?
  • I call what I'm doing "time journalling," but that might not be the correct term. Every day I get a new note, I have a keyboard shortcut that puts in the time, and I write what I'm doing. I also have a template for meetings. I use a global shortcut to bring up this note no matter what desktop I'm in, so I always have a note taking surface an 'F10' away.

    Next, I have "work tracking" notes. In my example below is "LRSF 2024". So any time I'm working on that I just link to it from my daily note and for the most part, that note just exists so I can scroll through all the work I've done on that project using the "Linked mentions" section.

    I also have some tags like "PersonalComputing" if it's related to making something on my computer work, or another tag if it's a fun/interesting story I might want to remember.

    The overhead of this system feels a bit high, but, I have been sticking with it since December or so. I'd say it has been most useful for answering questions like "What happened this day?" I have been able to find things related to work by linking to work tracking notes, but, I'm not sure how that's going to scale as time goes on.

    Actually, a second thing I'm not sure about - I haven't been very good about integrating information I want to keep accessible long-term in with my other notes. It used to be if I figured something out about 'ibus' (for example), I'd add it to some "Linux desktop" note. I'm more likely now to just let it live in my daily notes. On the one hand, I might be more likely to write things down because there isn't the friction of going to find the right note and worrying about formatting. On the other hand, it seems likely this information will get harder to find if it all lives in date-titled notes.

    Anyway, so that's all my "work" vault. I do something similar for a "Journalling" vault, but I'm not as happy with that setup.

    A late addition: I also like using check boxes for things I need to get back to - it's super fast to do and lets me get back to it later. You can search for unchecked check boxes, so at my weekly review I have a saved search that shows me all the things I thought I should do. Then I either do them or move them to my to-do app. This way I know if there's an unchecked check box in my "DailyLog" folder, it needs attention.
