Just a reminder in all the holiday bustle, you can lock in 5x as much storage for the same yearly price if you subscribe to #Obsidian Sync before January 1. (Current Sync users get the upgrade automatically.) https://obsidian.md/blog/new-sync-plans/
FYI, I don’t work for Obsidian. I’m just a satisfied user.
We may not work for#Obsidian, but (hand on heart) Obsidian surely does work for us.
Plain text (gestures with one hand) is my metaphorical fountain pen, and Obsidian (gestures with the other hand) makes my favourite interchangeable nibs and inks.

Nick Milo’s Ideaverse and TfTHacker’s Canvas Candy are a problem. They move too far from the text first focus of Obsidian. I admire these producers for other things, but these are not a direction I can support. I see them like all the pretty Instagram Bullet Journals, far from Rider’s origination but more directly income-generating.
@philoserf@nickmilo@TfTHacker I agree with what you’re saying for me—it’s very close to my own perspective and personal preferences—but disagree with universalizing it into blanket statement that covers everyone.
#Obsidian is probably the least opinionated software I’ve ever used. It’s almost infinitely customizable and extensible, and its devs seem uninterested in pushing a canon of orthodox usage. Everyone can pretty much do what they want with it, which is great.
@geffrey@obsidian@obsidianmd Try disabling your plugins. And also, try going into airplane mode temporarily. You might have something operating in the background of Obsidian which is taking CPU time away from it. If you are jailbroken you might like to install and then check CocoaTop to see if anything’s going on.
I am using @obsidianmd local so no synchronization. But if I would decide to enable synchronization hosted by the wonderful people of #obsidianMD, the price is keeping me away. 8$ is not appropriate. Way to much.
I love Obsidian and the people behind, but not their pricing policy.
Are there any #PlainText or #Markdown apps that can list the full names of files, on multiple lines, on a narrow screen? Landscape orientation helps, but it is not the solution I’m looking for.
#Obsidian Is the only one I’ve found so far that can do this.
All I want is to be able to browse the full text of long file names, in a list, in an app that doesn’t take 5 minutes to start up (I’m using iCloud for syncing Obsidian).
@ellane@obsidianmd That’s yet another Obsidian feature that makes it hard to use anything else once you’re used to it. Being able to read the whole file name seems so obviously better that it’s mind-boggling that it isn’t the standard way of doing things in all apps that manage files.
Update: thanks to @Colman yes there is a way with templater! #ObsidianMD question: can I create links in template? I have a folder with files that are named yyyy-mm-dd and add a new one every day using a template. Is there a way to add links to the template to the file that came before and will come after? E.g today’s page has a link to yesterday and a link to tomorrow (doesn’t exist yet) cc: @obsidianmd
If so, can someone help me with trying to turn an #ObsidianMD vault into propper #HTML so I can put it on some website and have other read them? Links includes, of course, all that stuff.
I've toyed with #pandoc but all it outputs is ok-ish looking text, zero html functionality, particularly no links.
@bob_wiley thanks. I had seen this already, but I'm kinda not in to pay $8 a month to publish some stuff that in all likelihood 2 people will glance at and go 'neato' and never give it a second look. ;)
Besides, I do already own a few domains and servers, so self-hosting feels natural :)
#Logseq has a 'demo graph', where you can open your local graph in the browser. Does anyone know if there's a way to do the same, or something similar, in #Obsidian?
I'd like to be able to open certain pages, in the browser, for quick access and or editing.
@toran You can add to @obsidian@obsidianmd using #FleetingNotes and store those notes within the app (also available as a browser extension or PWA). The notes are written directly into your vault and live in their own folder with front matter, but you cannot access non-FA notes that are already in the vault. I am not affiliated with Fleeting Notes, but I like their product a lot and it is a great way to add notes on the go or when you only have browser access and can't install Obsidian.
@nicole has a fantastic 16-minute Youtube video at https://youtu.be/vS-b_RUtL1A explaining how she organises her notes in Obsidian for findability with LATCH: Location, Alphabet, Time, Category and Hierarchy.
Cater to each of these search approaches with combinations of Obsidian's organising methods: Folders, Links, Tags and Metadata.
"(...) In conclusion, for now, I will run both types of metadata side-by-side: hashtags as well as internal links. And I’ll create group views, ie. lists, using Maps Of Content and Dataview. (...)"
