I’m experiencing a very erratic scrolling behaviour on @obsidian their iPad version. There is nothing wrong with my trackpad.

It was not smooth before, yet now it’s plainly irritating. See the video.

Is it something to do with me? My theme? My settings? Do you experience the same?

@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.

@0xSim Oh, that’s what I mean. A new, unnecessary beginner’s guide to it - video or blog post or similar - at least every week.

Here’s my “beginner’s guide”:

  1. download and install app
  2. do whatever you want with it 😁

@0xSim Oh! Hahahahahah!

@0xSim @ellane Obsidian is only overwhelming if you load it up with plugins. It's literally a text editor. You can use it to edit textfiles, period. Nothing complicated about that. Lift up its dress and it's a different story, but you don't need to do that to use it at its most basic.

@ellane @0xSim Allow me to place a glass of water in front of you. Do you need a beginner's guide to how to operate the water? Will you...... drink it? Pour it on a plant? Wash your face with it? You don't need a guide for any of those. If I wrote a guide, what would be for? How many uses for water would the guide cover? Could I be certain that I covered your intended use case? Do you even HAVE an intended use case for it?

No guide needed. Take the glass and balance it on your knee. Run your fingertip around the edge to make an eerie sound. Or walk away confused. It's your choice, guide free.

Someone who can't figure out Obsidian at an absolute beginner level should never install it, much less load it up only to sit there with sparks flying out their ears. Not being able to use Obsidian at its most basic level implies someone who would not be able to use a browser or Google to search for a guide on how to do it.

@ellane @0xSim You are blowing my mind. You had used computers for years and considered Obsidian to be confusing enough to need a guide? You click nothing except the blank text entry field and then type “the quick brown fox”. That’s confusing? I can’t get past this point. The only conclusion I’m reaching here is that you’re implying that Obsidian is not an app for beginners.

@EpiphanicSynchronicity @ellane @0xSim @obsidianmd huh. My most popular Reddit post was a picture of a sandwich.

“Work Louder Creator Board” from Drop. Modular keeb. Looks verrrrry interesting. Caps nowhere near as high-profile as I’d like but hey, it’s modular..

Are there any or 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.

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 Joplin possibly. https://joplinapp.org/

With the right combination of plugins (right as in right for you) is just a heaven. You can simply get any feature offered by @obsidianmd , @logseq or whatever your favorite app might be. Additionally, you'll be working within a highly customizable ecosystem with limitless options for getting any conceivable task done.

@tamowafy @obsidianmd @logseq Any docs or YT videos showing how we can install, use and configure it for PKM?
