Martijn van Exel<p>I went down a <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>obsidian</span></a> templating rabbit hole... <a href="https://mvexel.prose.sh/20250328-obsidian-daily-template" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mvexel.prose.sh/20250328-obsid</span><span class="invisible">ian-daily-template</span></a></p>
your auntifa liza 🇵🇷 🦛 🦦<p>checking in to let y’all know am doing well. i’ve just been lost in a whirlwind of productivity with that damn <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>obsidian</span></a> app. </p><p>JFC this is what my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> addled brain needed all thesr years. every vault i have set up is like a separate app, thanks to the myriad plugins developed for it. </p><p>i still don't have pat down a daily workflow, and that's what i’ve been focusing on these past weeks; but hot damned, I FEEL SEEN with this app. it ain't prefect, but i feel seen.</p>
Vae Miséricorde<p>okay my <a href="https://social.lol/tags/obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>obsidian</span></a> setup is getting slowly ever more complicated and i’m trying to reign myself in before “adding plugins” becomes a hobby instead of obsidian being a useful tool. </p><p>do i really need to save the name and artist of every song i shazam from the radio into my daily note? yes. probably.</p><p>do i need a mood tracker? probably yes i think. </p><p>do i need a linter, a local image dl’er, and “maps of content” notes for each folder? also yes. </p><p>dinking around is so fun 🥹 i’m doomed</p>

Lou Plummer 💖<p>In Obsidian, I can automatically import every website I bookmark, book I read, TV show or movie I watch, song I listen to, article I mark as "read later", posts from my favorite bloggers, emails from certain senders and daily weather reports. <a href="https://social.lol/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Obsidian</span></a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/ObsidianMD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ObsidianMD</span></a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/PKM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PKM</span></a></p>

Ellane ·𐑧𐑤𐑱𐑯<p>When people say "Still think Obsidian is cool? These apps will change your mind" I think — please don't waste my time unless the alternative apps store data locally in human-readable plain text files, sans databases.

Lou Plummer 💖<p>I just did an analysis of my Obsidian Vault. I have 10, 153 total files. 6,544 are markdown files and 3,609 are attachments, mostly images downloaded as part of clipped web pages.

Lou Plummer 💖<p>One benefit of Obsidian text files is that it's easy to use Python with them - especially with the help pf ChatGPT or Gemini. I've been able to use Python to turn a CSV file into 300 properly formatted Obsidian notes.

Lou Plummer 💖<p>With Obsidian, using multi-file search and replace in a text editor like Bbedit or Notepad++ is a huge time saver for editing properties or just notes in general. Much better than trying to use the handicapped plugin that tries to do the same thing. <a href="https://social.lol/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Obsidian</span></a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/ObsidianMD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ObsidianMD</span></a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/PKM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PKM</span></a></p>

Lou Plummer 💖<p>I'm running the Catalyst release of Obsidian mobile. It feels like that after a long period of stability, it is once again barely functional for me.
