Hey everyone, Our team recently started using Obsidian for task management, documentation, planning, and more. While exploring its capabilities, we thought it would be great to use Obsidian for storing and accessing snippets (e.g., for tech support or repetitive tasks). However, we couldn’t find a specialized solution that fit our workflow. That inspired us to add a snippets feature to our product, Direct Folders (for Windows). A dedicated Mac app is in the works too! Here’s how it works: P...

My Journey Into A Powerful Digital Note-taking System. From Paper to Plain-text
There I was, it was 2017, once again looking for a new app, to organize my ideas. I've been through all the common apps, but all of them ended in a chaotic mess.
Making Obsidian play nice with Logseq - Look what I built - Logseq
I’ve been using outliners ever since the 1980s, when I was running Dave Winer’s MORE on a MacPlus in college. I then used: Omni Outliner, Workflowy, Dynalist, and Roam Research before moving to Logseq this week. For a long time I’d wished that Obsidian had a decent workflowy-like outlining experience and when the beta desktop app for Logseq came out I saw a post saying that the two apps could work together. I now have it all set up and I’m absolutely delighted with the result. The main reason ...

Get more value out of notes by refactoring them — Moby Diction

While using Obsidian, if you press CTRL-SHIFT-I (option-cmd-i for mac) then it will bring up the developer window. In the developer window, at the top left is an icon with a pointer in a box. This allows you to select elements on the screen and see how to refer to them and what styles. I will occasionally update this post with more pictures of how to do stuff. You can hover over items to see what they do and then click on an item to select it. Then go down to the styles section at the bottom...
I inadvertently derailed a wonderful thread on MOCs a while back, and with the topic coming back up just now in the great thread on the IMF/LYT system, I figured I’d open this topic so as to divert any such discussion from that thread, as well as have a dedicated place to openly discuss/debate such things. This graphic largely summarizes what I was getting at in both other threads It is my sense and observation that in this PKM space (and, frankly, the general world) that people are living ...
