So a friend of mine recommended Obsidian ages ago and I looked at it but thought I was happy using Joplin (another text-based note tool) which I still think is a great app. Took a brief look at it and thought it was just too complicated…
Then recently, I went down a youtube rabbit hole watching videos of how people use Obsidian… OMG 🤯
Now I have 2x Vaults, one for work and one personal. Dataview, templater, quickadd, periodic notes have just changed everything. Now I have documents for each person at work with their basic info and then when I make a meeting, I can just tag them which then updates a dataview table that shows what meetings I’ve been in with them.
Tasks allows me to just create a bunch of todos in random notes and then I can create a table to show all my undone tasks.
I mean, why did I wait so long? I’ve been using it for about 10 days now and it’s been such a game changer. Sorry Joplin.
Yeah the fact that it saves into JSON files is ridiculous. xD
I was using Minimal for the longest time, now I’m on a modified version of Tokyo Night. I just needed the contrast to look a bit punchier.
Kinda wish that Obsidian integrated handwriting into the canvas like Logseq has done with their whiteboard… it would be so cool
