nietscape, in Does anyone here use Obsidian and Rocketbook?

Check out this handy link courtesy of the Obisidan discord. Syncing between devices can be somewhat cumbersome if you don’t want to pay for Obsidian Sync, but a lot of people (myself included) have success with using FolderSync on android with whatever cloud service you have your notes on.

Boterham, in Does anyone here use Obsidian and Rocketbook?

I sync my Obsidian vault with my Nextcloid using the app “FolderSync”. In Rocketbook, I can set a folder in my vault (on the nextcloud) as destination for the export. Then it syncs to Obsidian on all my devices.

DarthVadersMom, in Does anyone here use Obsidian and Rocketbook?

I use my Rocketbook for my D&D game and use the Rocketbook app to send it to my OneDrive from there I manually copy it to Obsidian.

Would love to find a way to automate this as well. However it works well still.

SoftMaterial3294,

Thanks! Glad they were helpful :)

deathmasia, in Your top 5 plugins?

So far just

  • templated
  • tasks If they ever implement mobile notifications I’ll be using reminder, and a plugin to sync tasks wo next cloud tasks (can’t remember which one, if I find it again I’ll update my post)
Leap, in How do you use MOCs to organize your vault?

I use folders and tags for organisation (Auto Note Mover puts my notes where I want them based on how I tag them. But I use AutoMOC to make a big list of connections that I then reorganise into categories. It’s a really good way to make sense of things after I’ve built up a good bank of ideas on a topic. But I don’t use them for navigation; I’d much rather go through search or quick switcher.

Don’t know if that’s possible but what I do is create a note for a person - for example [[Jane Doe]].

Then I add the hashtag in the note which, thanks to the auto note mover plugin, sends the note directly to a specific “People” folder.

I then go in and add to the person’s note any info I want to save for them, such as where they work, email, etc.

This system had proven to be very helpful for work. Has helped me so many times recall where and in what context I talked with someone.

another_kbin_addict,

Thanks for the reply, I’ll defo check that out.

Even if not for people I can think of a few good reasons to make tags move my stuff around!

nieceandtows,

I do something like this:

  • Today I spoke to [[people/colleagues/Mary|Mary]] about the upcoming work trip

What this does is create a Note called Mary under people/colleagues, and instead of showing the full path, just shows Mary in the frontend.

huginn, in Obsidian now has more than 1000 community-plugins!

I’m pretty basic and just run bare obsidian with vim and solarized themes, what are y’all running for plugins?

@swnt@feddit.de avatar
  • Obsidian Git
  • pocket importer
  • Natural language dates
  • calendar Plugin
  • periodic notes
  • dataview
  • outliner

as my most important ones

huginn,

Are you using obsidian got as a backup or to sync across devices?

swnt,
@swnt@feddit.de avatar

Both. But for mobile I’m using bash scripts with Termix (Android), because the Obsidian-Git mobile doesn’t support git LFS

huginn,

Makes sense. I use termux for a lot of things. Didn’t know it supported git lfs though. I’ll keep that in my back pocket for sure.

swnt,
@swnt@feddit.de avatar

Well it only kind of supports git LFS. I have to manually invoke a few git hooks, but otherwise… 😅

I’ve been using “Self-Hosted Livesync” with my own couchDB server. Maybe give it a look?

Holli25,

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.

tenth,

How is it at organising your Tasks? I feel it would not be best at it, but also like the ideas of linking tasks in my notes

Holli25,

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.

tenth,

Thanks so much for the detailed response.

If you happen to use Tasks on mobile, did the plugin slow Obsidian down at all? I’ve been using Obsidian plugin-free

Holli25,

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.

tenth,

Awesome. I’ll try it out. Thanks so much

I use this script: forum.obsidian.md/t/…/43

There are some other good solutions in that thread also if that one doesn’t suit.

another_kbin_addict,

Thank you kindly, this looks great. 👌

Those / were meant to escape the at symbol so I didn’t mention anyone. But neither seems to have occurred 😅

another_kbin_addict, in New to Obsidian any Tips for learning Ressources?
