After agonising over setting up my external brain tasks management system in #obsidian for a few days I’m actually starting to like it a whole lot

It’s not slick UX wise in a traditional sense of it. But once I e discovered templater for myself I can declutter the process and notes massively comparing to the off the shelf todo apps

Now I just press the button and every morning I get a neat clean sheet exactly the way I need it

Can #Obsidian plugins launch processes from the shell?

If so, do I know anyone who can (and would) write a plugin to integrate with an external app?

There are people in this world smart enough to write articles for money, yet the articles they write are about how hard it is to use #Obsidian, an app that creates plain text files. I don't get what's so hard. I'm an old man with no college and not a developer and I can do it. #pkm #ObsidianMD

I’ve been migrating my note taking from Apple Notes to #Obsidian (well, to #markdown using Obsidian as the editor/manager). In doing so, as I’ve deleted stuff from #AppleNotes, I’m reminded how shockingly bad its syncing is. You’d think it would be one thing it would be excellent at. It isn’t.

Of course, if you do have long-time plans for your personal #knowledgemanagement, you should not use proprietary tools like #Obsidian, #OneNote, #Evernote and alike.

You also should think of switching to a much better (learnability, portability/compatibility, typobility, logic, featureset) markup syntax like #orgdown which is used in #Emacs #Orgmode (among other tools).

But if you start with Org-mode, you need to know the right way of doing it, as so many web pages recommend. Here's my take:

A specific blog post about the #lockin effects of Obsidian and Co (despite using some tool-specific flavor of MD) is in the making. (Please don't start a religious discussion here.)

I have to use Jira at work. Here's a new Obsidian plugin to sync tasks between Obsidian and Jira. I can't wait to try this plugin.

https://github.com/Alamion/obsidian-jira-sync

From the GitHub page:

'Other plugins treat Jira issues as read-only reference material. This one lets you:

" Build full-featured issue templates that mirror your Jira workflow
* Sync ANY field—even custom ones from plugins like ScriptRunner or Insight
* Create new fields with dynamic field mapping (e.g. auto-generate browse URLs from issue.self + issue.key from API response)'

#obsidian folks, is there way to have Obsidian prompt for a template when I click the link to a new yet to be created note? Like if I just type `My New Note` and then click that pseudo-link I want it to prompt for a template for the new note.

Call #Weird, call me SuperNerd, call me #nerd but I really enjoy doing this. Maybe it’s the #Learning, maybe it’s the #Fun, or maybe I’m a little more #Nerdy than I thought, but building out my #Homelab starting with #PiHole and working from there has been a wonderful experience. The documentation process has also been enjoyable; maybe it’s because it shows my work and what I’ve done as an #accomplishment

Stay tuned for more updates!

Outer Worlds 2 is one of the games I'm very excited about by name. Go Obsidian, go!

¿Puedo mudarme de #Notion a #Obsidian o me lo van a enmierdar eso también en dos meses?

I am absolutely in love with this CLI note organizer (compatible with #Obsidian vaults!) but it was clearly made for power users. Learning the verbs feels like going back in time to learn git all over again.

Hey @obsidian, I am in Canada. I chose obsidian a couple of years ago because it is, in my opinion, the best noting taking app around! What I only learned this week: Obsidian is based in Canada!!

Anyone looking to switch from some American noting taking app, look no further!

currently #Obsidian for Android requires full file access permissions because it's necessary for certain third-party sync tools and interoperability — but some users prefer narrower permissions

in an upcoming version we're adding this option, do the tradeoffs make sense here?

If you use Obsidian as your note platform. Then definitely install the Obsidian Web Clipper to clip those web articles that you are using for research, or whatever.

It provides tags, source url, author, published date, clipped date, and description.

Most useful thing and great for ridding yourself of Pocket!!

Trying to decide: Obsidian.md or Logseq — which one is the ultimate tool for knowledge management and note-taking?

Both have their strengths, but I’m curious:
Which do you use and why?
Pros, cons, hidden features — let’s discuss!
