I'm a product designer and amateur musicologist. I strive to shape technology that enhances the way we create and experience music.

I’ll post #obsidian #musicology #pkm and #productmanagement. Whatever political or social stance works for you. Just treat others as you want to be treated.

Is there such a thing as a portable instance pf Obsidian? One that I can put on a USB-stick and use on my Windows work computer?

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?

I have published my initial ideas for the PlainText Journaling Markup Language.

Inspired by Huang's never-ending, productivity journal .txt file and influenced by Tony Stubblebine's concept of "interstitial journaling," the PlainText Journaling Markup Language is designed to simplify the experience of plain text journaling.

The journal.py has some functionality. Most importantly: move all open tasks to bottom of journal.

Let me know what you think.

@EpiphanicSynchronicity @obsidianmd This is great! I’ll be using a version of this on my work laptop! Adding Expanso shortcuts to the repository 😄

Any other text expanders I should consider?

Anyone want to write me some to make the traditional writer's reminder of missing information, TK, show up prominently in wherever it occurs within a long text?

I'm thinking sans serif bold small caps, nicely letter spaced, maybe in light orange. Like Medium does it. Doesn't have to be offset to the side, just a nice visual blip to catch one's attention in the flow of the text.

@ellane @obsidianmd I could get you something like that with a “custom” native callout :). Would that work?

I’m still at work, but after I can make an attempt.

EDIT I’m sorry, I misread the requirement. What you describe can not be achieved with CSS alone. It’ll require some Javascript to detect the ‘TK’. I will give it a try.

@ellane @obsidianmd It would need to be a plugin, that’s right ☺️

@ellane @obsidianmd Dynamic Highlights will highlight the ‘TK’ when you search for it. :) That might satisfy your need.

@ellane @obsidianmd I’ve looked at it for 30 minutes but no luck. Working with Obsidian's Codemirror 6 is harder than I thought! I hoped to fix it with some neat Typescript and Regex, but that didn’t work.

I’ll see if I can do something helpful using only CSS.

@ellane @obsidianmd Would this work for your, Ellane?

I can make it more fancy, stand out more, if you like.

It would require you to “span” it. But that could be done with a template or so.

<span class="tk-highlight">TK</span>
