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.
It syncs with Dropbox, Onedrive, S3 and WebDav. It has lots of settings like folders you can ignore, filetypes, etc. A number of experimental fearures that have worked when I tried them. You can set it to manually or automatically sync.
I’ve used it for my main vault using a self-hosted WebDav for over a year and been pleased with its performance. I make sure I keep a regular backup of the vault as well just in case.
I would imagine you could use the Excalidraw plugin as well for making handwritten notes and diagrams, too.
@M3chTech@tenebrisnox I do not get the point. Obsidian already does this when you start your vaults on a cloud drive … what is the difference? what does this plugin do better?
I had trouble for a period with my vaults syncing on icloud. It was really frustrating so I looked at other sync methods. (I think it was actually the amount of plugins I was using.) icloud did start working again with my smaller vaults. Now I keep my main vault synced by WebDav on my NAS with a daily backup by the NAS & my little vaults on icloud. Has been working really well.
Didn’t the OP say they wanted to sync across two different devices (and I assumed they couldn’t simply sunc using a shared storage.)
@tenebrisnox thx for the answer 🙂 … first I also had trouble (icloud) because one has to start creating the vaults at mobiles and then open them in the desktop app … never run into issues till now … cross fingers 🙈
If you use a shared folder on a cloud provider such as iCloud, or if you don’t have an iPhone or iPad, Dropbox, OneNote, etc., you share the folder via this service. All file management, such as when to sync or whether the actual file is on your hard drive or just a link to the file in the cloud, is handled by the cloud software you have installed on your Mac or PC. Using a service like Obsidian Sync or the remote-save plugin, you sync your vault. When you start Obsidian, it downloads all new files and chances from the cloud service and makes a local copy. So you can use remotely-save to encrypt your data in the cloud, for example, but on the local machine it’s a normal file structure. Since iCloud share doesn’t work for me (problems with lost files, and a Linux machine as the only working machine. I switched to remote sync and it works fine most of the time.
You can read this article. lemmy.ml/post/4161707. Syncthing is free, open source, simple to set up, and much faster than a repository based solution. The article explains why and how to set it up.
You could use Syncthing. If your NAT router supports UPnP, which most do, you don’t need to worry about the firewall. If for some reason it doesn’t just work you can forward 22000 tcp/udp. It’s device to device and doesn’t depend on IP addresses.
Resilio Sync works very well for this too. I had looked at syncthing, but there was a reason I chose Resilio. Just can’t recall what that reason is at the moment
One of the limitations of Obsidian linking, and any markdown linking to be precise, is the fact that you cannot define the type of link. So, just use sentences next to the links. This way, you can evolve your locations saying what is in , next to or part of
As an example of evolving your locations and making the connections flexible, imagine that I start working on locations I care about. I am naming the locations and then slapping note content as they evolve.

While developing my location notes I clearly mentioned a company as a location which I later find out it is wrong. Specially because Company A has warehouses in two cities. Fixing now.

My point is that you need to use sentences as ways to link locations. And maybe use tags to keep track of what is or is not a location. Things change after all.
Also, if you have not done this already, please enable “Show backlinks” to keep track of notes linking to the one you are working on if you have not done that already. It is massively useful.
My thought is to use separate notes for each. Then link to the parent in a dedicated field of the frontmatter (which will be nicely formatted as a link if you’re on 1.4). In each location that might have sub-locations, use a dataview query to list all of its immediate children. There might even be a way with dataviewjs to list all of the people in a given region by traversing the “tree” of successive links.
