Getting reasonably deep in the #Obsidian#DataView#JavaScript weeds. Very big “treating flat files as a database” vibes, because that's literally what's going on.
I /kinda/ dig it, since DataView means I’m just arranging inline fields in my prose documents as desired, vs being tightly constrained within a literal database or spreadsheet (or #Airtable). In the latter setup I would have to cram all the non-field Markdown content into a "notes" field or whatever.
@bitprophet@obsidianmd The #Dataview plugin dev is working on a replacement for it called Datacore, and the #Obsidian team is planning to build a Databases feature into the core app, so things are likely to stay interesting on that front.
