I use mac, too, but haven’t encountered this. You’ve done all the usual haven’t you: checked Obsidian is latest release, installed another theme? Reinstalled Obsidian?
I’ve had issues with themes but found they tend to be theme-specific. Minimal is always a goid one to try (again, young probably done this).
ONE OF US. ONE OF US.
My main concern now though is that there's a single point of failure for my mental well being. I'm reaally gonna need to keep backups because it's not just my 'second brain' I think most of my actual brain is in there at this point.
Omnivore is amazing. I moved away from Pocket and I have been super happy. It’s a read it later app and has full integration with Obsidian. Love the highlight option! You highlight what you like in Omnivore and it moves the parts into Obsidian. I have a folder for all in Obisidan and then use Dataview to create MoCs of these article per topic.
Thanks! I just tried Omnivore, but it appears that highlighted images are broken in Obsidian; these images don’t link to the original image but rather through Omnivore’s own proxy, which (for me) breaks the images.
I prefer the Pocket > Readwise > Obsidian route, meaning I use the Readwise plugin in Obsidian. It costs a pretty penny but doesn’t send images through a proxy…
It does! I’ll attach a screenshot (iOS app). And thanks for that idea. I bookmark in Mona and then I forgot and never look at them. Sending them to Omnivore is a great idea!
@baillargg@bowreality@JeremyT@obsidianmd Thanks! So far it seems Omnivore grabs a whole Mastodon thread (with Readwise it’s hit or miss… mostly miss). I like that I can sync my Omnivore highlights to my Obsidian. Will continue comparing the two (Readwise/Omnivore). I will check out GoodLinks!
Failed to mention that I’m on MacOS. I also just learned that when I full-screen the app, the side bars match the theme. Exiting full screen causes them to go back to black.
I use it to organize my notes for the Dungeons and Dragons game I’m playing in. It’s fabulous for linking NPCs and locations with my notes for each session.
This is a wonderful idea. I don’t play DnD personally, but this example gives me some ideas. Essentially what you’ve done is organize creative works by breaking them down into bite sized interconnected pieces.
I did a roll-your-own solution with private GitHub repo and a script to push changes and pull them from other machines. I update things on my main desktop, my laptop, and my Android phone this way, no extra costs incurred.
I see there’s a variety of options. To add one more option: I use the extension Self-hosted live sync : it’s very nice and easy to handle (though you have to be technically interested to set it up)
Main plugins for me are dataview and tasks. Add the mininal theme and style settings and that is it. Although I enjoy browsing Obsidian roundup to see what is new in the world of plugins.
It fits well for me. I set up multiple queries in my daily note template to catch tasks that are due today or I wanted to work on today, for long-term tasks and for overdue tasks. You can group tasks by adding tags which I use often. You can add a new task anywhere in your notes and it will show up in the query. So I put tasks in all notes that I am working on and will be reminded of them in my daily note. It is often updated with new features, just try it out and see if it works for you. I can not complain and only recommend it.
I am also using it on mobile (syncing my vault from laptop->NAS<-cell phone). Works quite well, but I can not say mich about performance, as my cell phone is having problems in general at the moment.
However, it feels really smooth after initially loading the app and I have no problems to report.
I purchased sync. I agree it is a little on the expensive side.
The one thing you can do is just use git and turn on the push and pull. It seems to be very reliable this way. Though you won’t be able to use it on the phone as far as I have been able to figure out.
For varying definitions of "works". It's incredibly frustrating if you're using it across multiple devices. Any time I let the repo get more than a couple days behind, I wind up with nasty merge conflicts and it doesn't handle those. At all. It just sort of breaks.
I pay for sync but also use git. I hate how obsidian works in mobile so I just use GitHub.com’s web interface to take notes on mobile and push to obsidian on save. Obsidian sync then syncs all my devices
@nieceandtows I’m in the Apple ecosystem so I’ve been using iCloud for the same reason of the cost. My vault is relatively small and simple though. I’m assuming that once it starts to get larger and more complex I’m going to have to buck up for Sync.
@dgreenbhm@nieceandtows@obsidianmd I did not know that. Versioning would have come in handy for me today as my hotdog thumbs deleted some characters from a link in a document today on my phone. Luckily, it was a highlight from Readwise so I deleted the document and reimported. So there’s an example of why the cost of #obsidian_sync is worth it.
I had mine backing up to a GitHub repository. I ended up abandoning it and just taking notes in a text editor. Gonna try org mode in vim with a plugin and see if I like that better. Main complaint is that I have 200k commits from obsidian
