Lou Plummer 💖<p>If you are curious about Obsidian plugins but concerned that they would affect the plain text format of your notes, here are ten useful ones that don't change any formatting.</p><p><a href="https://amerpie.lol/2024/06/12/useful-obsidian-plugins.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">amerpie.lol/2024/06/12/useful-</span><span class="invisible">obsidian-plugins.html</span></a></p><p><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<p>This week's <a href="https://pkm.social/tags/PTPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PTPL</span></a> has just been updated to include the custom export feature.

(Drafts has a quick entry box, but no access to actions without opening the main app)</p>

Kathleen Fitzpatrick<p>A random <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AskFedi</span></a> for all the <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Obsidian</span></a> superusers out there: I would like to add a property to certain notes that keeps a count of the number of undone tasks it contains. I've found an inline Dataview script someone wrote that does the counting part, but I’m not finding a way to get that into a YAML property. (What I'm hoping to accomplish is to have a Base gathering all of my project files, and be able to see at a glance the number of undone tasks in each.)</p>

Lou Plummer 💖<p>It comes in under 3GB. I usually create notes in Drafts and move them to Obsidian on my MacBook at the end of the day. Forget trying to access my info on mobile. <a href="https://social.lol/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Obsidian</span></a> can be impossible to get to it.<br>4/4</p>
Lou Plummer 💖<p>It has never worked consistently on a mobile device for me. <a href="https://social.lol/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Obsidian</span></a> opens and crashes multiple times while trying to sync. The only way I can get it to work is to plug it in to power, leave <a href="https://social.lol/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Obsidian</span></a> open on the home screen and just walk away for an hour or two. <br>2/4</p>
Lou Plummer 💖<p>I have evangelized for <a href="https://social.lol/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Obsidian</span></a>, encouraging people to pay for sync and become Catalyst supporters. I've written dozens of blog posts and fielded questions about the app from all over the world. It would just be nice to be able to use it in iOS before I die. <br>1/4</p>

Ellane<p>In the spirit of sharing our long weekend plans, let me just say that the next three days will see me continue to completely ignore Obsidian Bases 🤭. I've literally not even looked at it once.</p><p>(No shade on this fab new feature, it's just that I have a to do list full of important things like eating a cupcake, cleaning out the fridge, watching tv reruns, and sleeping)</p><p><a href="https://pkm.social/tags/obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>obsidian</span></a></p>
Thomas Vander Wal<p>The latest update to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>obsidian</span></a> with its forewarned breaking of the new Bases did just that. </p><p>Now if I could easily find the handful of Bases I created and update them.</p><p>I found one and the update is straight forward and seems like it is a good improvement.</p><p>I need a wand to find the bases. But, also a wand to get “All your bases are belong to us" out of my head again.</p>
It's FOSS<p>Think you’ve mastered Obsidian?

malte<p>Tech wizards, could you combine a version control system like <a href="https://radikal.social/tags/git" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>git</span></a> with a markdown based notetaking program like <a href="https://radikal.social/tags/obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>obsidian</span></a> to have version control over collaborative documents? I'm in a work group that is trying to define procedures and could use something like that.</p>
