![]() Note right of John: Rational thoughts prevail! Type this code into Obsidian: sequenceDiagram OK, time for a side note: I don’t create diagrams and flowcharts that often, but this application of Mermaid is very cool. All of your changes are made in folders and files in real-time (and you can undo actions). creation of diagrams and flowcharts in Mermaid. Obsidian allows embedding of certain files in notes and more advanced stuff will follow, e.g. Here’s an example of what an 1980s theme can look like: The grammatically erroneously named ‘ 80’s Neon Theme‘. My favourite right now is the dark version of the BENWF theme. This means that sharing vaults with others means you could, for example, compress a folder including everything in it and send it to your friend.īonus info: you can apply a theme to any of your vaults. Add a vault and Obsidian will read all of its subfolders and files and present the material to you. What I display in the video above is a vault, an Obsidian term for a knowledge location. Some don’t want to preview their Markdown pane, unlike myself (as I’m not fluent in Markdown). This is merely my layout you can add as many or use as few panes as you want. ![]() an editor where you see Markdown in effect.My simple video shows the following columns, left to right: Here’s a fresh comparison of Roam and Obsidian: Keep in mind that Roam costs at least 15 USD/month to use. Zettlr, where I can take my files and folders and just dump them into.Ī lot of people like Roam for note-taking, if they have access to it after receiving quite some attention via a much-subscribed-to youtuber, Roam shut its doors to new people. No Google, no Amazon, no nothing to capitalise off my personal experiences.Īll of the readable data is stored in Markdown format. And it’s all stored on my computer I’ve used Resilio Sync to sync my Obsidian vaults to another computer that is backed up. drag-and-dropping image files into notes which embeds themĪnd all of this is instantly indexed and searchable.a list of all music that I’ve been listening to for the past year.all the stuff that I’m keen to try out once I get my Pinebook Pro.a list of all the stuff I’ve got insured.diagrams and flowcharts that are composed from text ( yes, really).relating philosophy ideas and concepts (God, I long for the day when a constantly-evolving Obsidian vault regarding philosophy drops!).temporary notes (that later could become permanent).Microsoft Writing Style Guide which is simply snatched from GitHub.daily notes (which are actually created with just the touch of a button).book reviews, where I link authors and themes together, creating a knowledge graph that allows me to see visual maps from vast amounts of text.word and term definitions, in order to create a glossary.It’s a lot like Getting Things Done, which is a productivity methodology: you don’t have to learn every little thing but, rather, it’s about how you want to use and what you want to gain from information.Īt its best, Obsidian is where I go to store, find, and relate all kinds of knowledge: Obsidian, to me, is more of building a process to handle information. I don’t even make money off this blog, so ha! fuckers. I’m not.īy the way, I’m not affiliated with Obsidian or any other companies in any way. There are no hurdles to jump through, even though watching my initial screenshots in this post might make you think I’m lying. The beauty of playing the guitar is that you completely master how you want to play the guitar, and defining what ‘guitar playing’ is in the same way, Obsidian can be used as far as you want to go. Look at it like playing the guitar: anybody can play the guitar, it’s just a matter of investing time and patience. Having stated that, it’s taken me some time to learn how to use Obsidian, but that’s in a good way! I don’t think I’ll ever finish learning it (whatever ‘learning it’ would actually mean). ![]() That’s up to how far you want to take it. You can even dump them on other software and keep working. ![]() Nefarious corporations won’t spy on you, and you can read the files with any text editor. It can be that all of your knowledge is saved locally on your computer as folders and files. The bow can be Obsidian’s search functionality, which works fast. First, what the fuck is Obsidian? Don’t let the Obsidian screenshots above scare you.Īt its easiest, Obsidian is software: a place where you dump and search data.
