I just used #ChatGPT 4o to help write Python to convert the export provided by Apple's Journal app from HTML into Markdown suitable for import into #Obsidian. It took about 15 minutes of back and forth to get right. This is something I could have done myself, but it probably would’ve taken me a couple hours. This is a great use case for a #LLM.

// I Couldn’t Resist the Temptation of Obsidian Bases
https://kaigulliksen.com/i-couldnt-resist-the-temptation-of-obsidian-bases/
I don’t normally jump on early access software features but the preview that the Obsidian team posted of the up-coming Bases feature was much to compelling for me to resist. So […]

@aldi80s A few of my favourite tools in #Obsidian are:
- The Journal plugin for making a new note every day. This can help greatly getting into the flow of entering things.
- Note Refactor plugin: To split out headings to their own notes, or to merge notes together
- #DataView plugin to quickly list notes with certain attributes (e.g. all movies above 90 min length that I watched for more than 50%). Some of this is now covered by the new "bases" feature.

アルディ@aldi80s You can follow the #obsidian tag on Mastodon to get some info from time to time or ask questions.
On the big Discord it can be hard to follow real discussions, as there are simply too many people in it already. It can be useful to get a question answered though, or to learn about new releases, plugins and methods.
Everyone seems to be using the Obsidian app, and I want to learn how to navigate it and understand its potential. Since Pocket is shutting down, I'm eager to explore new apps that might be beneficial for my daily activities. If anyone has tips or resources for getting started with Obsidian, I’d love to hear them! Let's discover together how we can make the most out of this tool.

You can put an #Obsidian base in a sidebar, and reference the current file
with #Obsidian Bases you can create embedded views that reference the current file — for example if I put my "Places" base inside Taipei I get only places I saved in Taipei
Migrated my personal vault to #Obsidian Bases and it feels so good 
I was able to translate ~3,000 dataview queries into about 30 bases. Makes for a more maintainable approach to bottom-up notetaking.

New study uncovers vast obsidian trade networks of the Aztec Empire
A recent study by Tulane University and Mexico’s Proyecto Templo Mayor has revealed new information regarding the complex obsidian trade networks of the Mexica, popularly referred to as the Aztecs.

Think Obsidian is great? Plugins make it unstoppable.
Analog tools aren't the only way to slow down and be more mindful about planning and writing.
Simplifying the tools you're most comfortable with can help bring intentionality and clarity to a busy life, and reduce feelings of overwhelm — no paper required.

ellanew.comPTPL 158 · Finding Overwhelm Relief When Paper Isn’t an Option - Ellane WMaking notes on paper is cool, but so is remembering those who can't. Simplified, notification-free text files can be a good breathing space, too.
My notes are a mess. I have half in #Notion and half in #Obsidian. I want to make a personal wiki/garden for all my deep dives and info collecting but I can't commit to one platform.
I love Obsidian and its respect for my writing files. Notion has all the shiny features but those fuckers love the typical SaaS lock-in approach.

@AnthonyBaker @jack @kepano I agree: templates take some of the onus off of curating all that metadata. The YAML fields just got /very/ exploitable with Bases, which I’ve been messing with in #obsidian preview 1.9.
Maybe you’ll find new value in that metadata now?
