FIST_FILLET, 7 months ago in What is the main thing you write on your Obsidian Vault?

this is just one of many things but i like to write down game notes while i’m playing, like what i intend to do next and things i need to remember for future reference. very handy if you’re like me and juggle between games in waves, so you can always see where you left off mentally

SamXavia, 7 months ago

@FIST_FILLET Nice, would love to see how you organise that as it sounds really helpful

FIST_FILLET, 7 months ago

usually they’re pretty basic but it varies a lot from game to game :) my dark souls 1 note looks something like this:

next move

• [ordered to-do list, smaller non-boss things i am currently trying to do]

latent to-do

• [list of things i want to do eventually but don’t need right now]

[checklist of bosses ordered by route]

sorry for not just slapping a screenshot in here, english is not my native language so it probably wouldn’t be very useful

@FIST_FILLET @SamXavia I just started doing this with a new Skyrim playthrough and it's more fun than I expected. I make a new note each time I play and just keep a bulleted journal of quests/important events/decisions made

fhein, 7 months ago in What is the main thing you write on your Obsidian Vault?

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.

EntropyPure, 7 months ago in What is the main thing you write on your Obsidian Vault?

Documentation, for personal reference. Stuff I rather not reinvent down the line.

Could set up a wiki, but I like the flexible nature of Obsidian.

berryjam, 7 months ago in What is the main thing you write on your Obsidian Vault?

Notes on stuff I’ve read, recipes, prose

Bishma, 7 months ago in What is the main thing you write on your Obsidian Vault?

D&D session planning. Being able to query all my plans and notes is super handy.

SamXavia, 7 months ago

@Bishma Nice it seems like a good amount of people use Obsidian for D&D

haulyard, 7 months ago in What is the main thing you write on your Obsidian Vault?

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.

anotherlemmyuser, 7 months ago

For your notes at work, do you create a bunch of new files for new notes? I am interested in how you do folder structure and naming.

DmMacniel, 7 months ago in What is the main thing you write on your Obsidian Vault?

I have a vault for general journaling, for my pathfinder 2e campaign notes, my characters (TDE, Dnd5e, Starfinder) campaign notes, and my writing project.

So… several Vaults for different aspects.

SamXavia, 7 months ago

@DmMacniel So you use different Vaults instead of it all in one? How do you seem to juggle different vaults it feels hard to manage one sometimes.

DmMacniel, 7 months ago

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.

ellane, 7 months ago

@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.

SamXavia, 7 months ago

@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.

mokassino, 8 months ago in How do you organize resources for a given topic?

Sorry for my english. Here’s what i usually do:

• kanban as read-list and task tracking
• 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.

Thanks for sharing!!

Arxir, 9 months ago in Daily Journal Dataview Question

Assuming a key akin to “deadline”, you could use or adapt the following:

WHERE dateformat(deadline, “yyyy-MM-dd”) <= dateformat(date(today), “yyyy-MM-dd”)

Or work with note creation date:

WHERE dateformat(file.date, “yyyy-MM-dd”) <= dateformat(date(today), “yyyy-MM-dd”)

Instead of “today” use “this.file.name” when working with daily notes as in your case.

To have the list be divided into completed and unfinished, skip the “!completed” and instead use:

SORT completed

Add DESC to reverse order.

Another option would be to have two separate dataview queries. One for completed and one for unfinished tasks.

Great! Thanks. That did it

DrakeRichards, 9 months ago in Using Pandoc to export to Obsidian markdown?

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.

Here’s the config.yaml I used for Pandoc:

<span style="color:#63a35c;">from</span><span style="color:#323232;">: </span><span style="color:#183691;">docx

</span><span style="color:#63a35c;">wrap</span><span style="color:#323232;">: </span><span style="color:#183691;">preserve

</span><span style="color:#63a35c;">standalone</span><span style="color:#323232;">: </span><span style="color:#0086b3;">true
</span><span style="color:#63a35c;">template</span><span style="color:#323232;">: </span><span style="color:#183691;">obsidian.md
</span><span style="color:#63a35c;">filters</span><span style="color:#323232;">:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  - </span><span style="color:#183691;">compact-list.lua
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  - </span><span style="color:#183691;">remove-single-characters.py
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  - </span><span style="color:#183691;">remove-extra-linebreaks.py

</span>

The three filters:

• 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.

metis_seeker, 9 months ago in How do you personally use Obsidian?

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

trijste, 9 months ago in Using Pandoc to export to Obsidian markdown?

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.

trijste, 9 months ago

Oh wait I think you want to expressly use pandoc, my bad

whereisk, 9 months ago in Using Pandoc to export to Obsidian markdown?

Not sure about a specific plugin but couldn’t you sed your way out of it?

princessnorah, 9 months ago in Dashboards/Visual MOCs with Obsidian Canvas

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:

biscotty666, 9 months ago

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.
