I wouldn’t say I have any “main thing”, it’s split fairly evenly between archiving information (recipes, articles, etc.) to have everything in one place, writing down random things to avoid forgetting them, and making kanban boards for my hobby programming projects.
Notes at work. Meetings, projects, one on one conversations. I also have a template for each person I’ve met that makes it easy to see where they’re located, what company and technologies they’re related to, and links to past meetings I’ve had with them. I also use it for task management.
I have a vault for general journaling, for my pathfinder 2e campaign notes, my characters (TDE, Dnd5e, Starfinder) campaign notes, and my writing project.
Yup, different vaults since the topics don’t really intersect with each other, or rather shouldn’t. I would like if Obsidian don’t open with the latest vault open, but instead its splash screen so that I can select which Vault I want to open/work on.
@SamXavia@DmMacniel I'm happy with one vault for most things, mixing personal with business. The only times I create new vaults is for experimenting with different setups (that I don't want to break my regular workflow), and in preparation for sharing with others.
@ellane That's pretty much what I do, even know I have many different areas that I enjoy writing about from business to TV Shows it's nice to see it all in one place and makes me not have to go to other vaults that I will most likely forget about.
introductive note to a topic with backlinks to other notes (subtopics)
a directory with all the subtopics notes, backlink to index note.
I don’t like atomic notes or Zetelkastenn methods enough, but be sure to check these methods. If you’re more visual, then you may use the canva plugin.
The best system is subjective, try different things and find what works for you.
I got this mostly working, but it was not easy. Not only does Obsidian have a few peculiarities that make it less compatible with standard Markdown, but Word also does a few funny things.
Removed extra linebreaks added between bulleted lists to make them more compact.
Removed lines with only a single character in them. Usually an invisible character like nbsp, which made Pandoc’s linter not remove them automatically.
Removes linebreaks enclosed in Strong tags. This is an artifact from Word where a line is bolded but has no content: technically the line break is bolded.
I then ran the resulting file through a RegExp replacement to change the superscript carats into HTML sup tags.
Even after all this, I still have to go through with an Obsidian plugin to convert the standard Markdown links and embeds into [[Wikilink]] style, since Obsidian will only do one or the other throughout your whole vault.
I use the Supercharged Links Obsidian Plugin (alongside Style Settings Obsidian Plugin to break down my links into multiple different types with symbology for each so that at a glance I know what type of note I’m looking at
Literature note: 📔
Book: 📚
People: 🧑
Permanent note: 🗒️
Low-quality note: Link turns red
Medium-quality note: Link turns an orange
So e.g. A link to a book will look like 📚Building A Second Brain
I’ve done something like this converting html to obsidian md. I interrogated gpt 3.5 with specifically what I needed to accomplish and went from there. If you can’t accomplish a formatting quirk in the same conversion process you might run iterative processes to accomplish them after conversion. I’ve done similar with BBEdit and vs code basically to find and replace across a lot of documents.
I’m sorry if I come across as a bit of a bitch here, but how can your blogposts be worth AUD$13/month? That’s the same price as a Spotify premium plan. I would have considered subscribing if it was ~A$4-5/month. Also, your website is very broken on webkit mobile:
Sadly my website isn’t mobile friendly right now but I’m reworking it. I hope to have the redesign within a week.
As to the price I just left what SS put by default. All my posts are available to free subscribers anyway. Of course I’m happy if you want to contribute but I have no expectations or concerns if you don’t.
