Honestly curious, as someone who keeps hearing a lot about "my daily notes" but who personally doesn't use them.

~~Also seeing lots of activity on the Obsidian subreddit and figured the Obsidian community on Lemmy could stand to have a post this month too.~~

No more XWayland bugginess! Just add --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland to the appimage launch command and it works great!

After the release of JSON Canvas, I was curious how people handle whiteboarding and graphical notes in Obsidian. Personally, I only use Excalidraw because I was already a user of its web version and because of its support for md and iframes, although I don't like how it handles embedded notes, everything else is easily corrected due to its high customization. How do you handle these things?

Hello folks. Can anyone help advise on this weird problem. I cannot open voice-to-text in Obsidian mobile when I'm using SwiftKey.

When I first open Obsidian, voice-to-text will open. If I then try to open it again, it wont open. It opens then immediately closes again and will not open at all after that. It's possible it is opening 'underneath' SwiftKey, or even underneath Obsidian. I know that sounds mad but it gives this impression.

Ive done the following:

• Checked all permissions - in microphone, in apps
• Cleared cache on both apps
• Uninstalled/reinstalled both apps
• Cleared all data in Obsidian
• Tested voice-to-text with Gboard - works as normal
• Tested SwiftKey voice-to-text in other situations - works as normal

My android is a Redmi note 10 pro. voice-to-text used to work fine with SwiftKey. Suddenly, it stopped working.

@obsidianmd What is one thing you love & hate about ObsidianMD?

The Obsidian canvas file format is now called JSON Canvas and has its own site, specification, and open source resources.

https://jsoncanvas.org

i have a format for note-taking in meetings that I currently copy/paste to use in new notes. I would like to be able to create a new, empty, note based on that format so I can skip the copy/paste step. I have Templater but it seems far more complex than what I need. Any suggestions?

Anybody here who has tried Reor with Obsidian?

Reor is a AI note-taking app that runs models locally.

Is there any way of adding more apps to the 'share' option? I'd really like to be able to share to my printer app.

The only apps available to share to are not apps that specifically deal with documents.

Tia

is there a way to encrypt obsidian vaults using either symmetric/asymmetric encryption with multiple devices?

I have an #Obsidian question. Can you change the default width of a note? I would like to change all my existing notes.

Just channeling kepano here

Hi Obsidian Community!

I link all notes to the daily notes of the day on which these notes were created (automatically via Templater). But I noticed that I can't see anything in my graph view. There are way too many connections and everything is centered around my daily notes.

How am I supposed to identify emergent structures in this mess?

Am I doing LATCH wrong?

Should I skip the linkage and leave it as a date key just without the brackets?

Or am I just misunderstanding how emergence works?

Looking forward to any ideas, thoughts, opinions and general input!

Hello Obsidian Community, I would like to hear your opinion on the following matter:

Background

In my daily notes I use a comment block after Yaml, in which I link to yesterday's, today's and tomorrow's daily notes. The daily note links to itself, because all my notes are linked to the daily note of the day on which they were created and it just stuck, when I edited my default template to create a daily note template.

Issue

Sometimes I create a daily note for a specific day a couple days later, and thus my memory is not as good as on the evening of the day in question.

Proposal

Now I figured that it might be sensible to record that information by linking daily notes not necessarily to themselves via the today key, but to the daily note of the day, when I actually did write down what happened on that day.

What is your opinion on that? Any real benefit here? Would that be worse? Do you have any other input?

Interested to hear your thoughts!

I have a strange issue with @[email protected]. When I pin a note #obsidian with hang. When I reopen it, loading workspace will hang. I have to delete workspace.json to get it to open again or resync my vault. Anyone have any ideas what is going on?

Good morning (excuse my English, it's not my first language), I am very disorganised and forgetful, I always live in a state of anxiety because if I don't make any reminders (for this I use 'saved message' onTelegram) I literally forget appointments, deadlines, so: I always live under persistent stress due to the strain of keeping a lot of things in mind. Of course I own a paper agenda, but I forget to use it. I'm looking for something that keeps in 'his mind' the things I should keep in mine, so that I can invest energy in other tasks. In essence, I feel completely unstructured.
Obsidian, inevitably, intrigued me: the idea of looking at one's brain from the outside is an enviable condition, rather than being inside the terrible tangled cage that is my brain.
I saw some tutorials, some of which are very long and some of which are super-fast. I began to think that it is not the tool, but the way one memorises and organises one's notes (in the broadest sense) that makes the difference. I'm afraid that if one has a lot of confusion in one's head, and is always working in a state of emergency, with the fear of having forgotten something, this is the real problem, and there is no Obsidian to help. How could Obsidian help me? And also: is there any video or document that teaches how to learn it properly?
Thank you very much for your advice.
p.s. Is there any possibility to sync Obsidian with laptop, mobile and tablet avoiding (for the moment, then if I start using it regularly, I'll happily subscribe) to pay the 8$ monthly fee, also avoiding using Gdrive or any other nosy tool that overbearingly imposes its policy on users?

@obsidianmd Will #Obsidian Publish ever be integrated into the Fediverse, do you think?

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.

Kanban for @obsidianmd -- 😍😍😍!

I've wrestled for years re: handling "important but not urgent" to-do projects. Analog bujo collections are a chore to manage vs a tool. This plugin keeps it all sorted on one board + backlinks to any other related notes. 😄

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.

Another big news drop from kepano

Obsidian 1.5 now had table editor (just saw this on Reddit, reposting, since kepano does not know about Lemmy...)
