“I just know that here the advertised price is the price. I'm not used to being charged more than the price and I definitely don't like it, but Obsidian is very good so I'll tolerate it.”
“This looks like a massive upgrade for Obsidian! Combining a Scrivener-style binder with standard frontmatter editing and custom powerlines in one local plugin is huge. Love that you added Directory Opus as a reference too, that really helps capture what it feels while managing files.”
“I was wondering if someone could help me troubleshoot an issue. I just installed Zotero and Obsidian for the first time. I installed all the necessary plugins, followed online tutorials and all that jazz.”
“Im using obsidian to keep track of almost everything, i like to have all my information interconnected and accessible on only one platform in my own locally device.”
“Basically I already have notes that I’m going to load into Obsidian only because I want the Graph view to interconnect topics using backlinks and stuff.”
“A vault is just plain text, moving it is trivial, copy the folder and open the folder as a vault. I strongly recommend having it backed up somehow, especially when it's your university notes.”
“If you use a pencil a lot, like I do, you might be interested in a new app with Obsidian support called Pellet https://getpellet.app/ . It has good handwriting with OCR support.”
“An Obsidian vault is just a bunch of markdown files and their folders, plus the obsidian index. If you can copy your files to the new device, you’re done. If you are unable to copy your index file, obsidian will recreate it when you point the root folder as your vault.”
“Moving your vault is dead simple, just copy the whole folder to new device and open it in Obsidian. Everything stays exactly same, all links and notes work right away, no special process needed. I moved my vault between three different machines and never had problem.”
“My learning style involves actively creating notes while researching related topics, so Obsidian’s bi-directional linking sounds ideal. I'm practicing taking digital notes before classes start because I've lost too many physical notebooks in the past.”
“Sync can overwrite the good copy with the bad one and thats usually how the last copy dies. File recovery snapshots dont sync between devices either, they are local to each device and only kept 7 days by default, so another machine has its own seperate set.”
“I really liked how the web clipper worked and essentially built a whole app partially based around it, this is going to make it super easy for my users who want obsidian integration, thanks for open sourcing it!”
“When Obsidian could not open a file, it has to throw an error. Obsidian does not know whether the failure is caused by a corrupted file or a lock on the file place by another process, such as a third-party sync program, so it throws a sync error. That's my guess.”
“What I really like about it so far is being able to quickly search through everything and use Obsidian’s link system to connect factions, NPCs, locations, mechanics, etc. It makes navigating all that information much easier.”
“So before I found Obsidian, I used various apps and websites to write/organize my thoughts and ideas. I've been able to phase out most of them with Obsidian, but I was wondering if there's a way to recreate comments similar to in google docs?”
“\- like each email you sent would automatically be inserted as a note into obsidian, depending on the volume of sent emails maybe following a certain set of rules for filtering. Not necessarily with the content but that would be up to personal preference I guess.”
“These mentioned apps all work with local files stored in Obsidian contrary to things like OneNote, GoodNotes and Notability which will require you to export them after each modification.”
“Given this was posted in obsidian and uses obsidian related phrases, the inference is that you input markdown and it outputs something. But its not clear in the examples what that data is.”
“I have been continuously been getting vault sync error codes from Obsidian, started out of nowhere a few months back and reloading the app has fixed it always, but I've included them in my email to support.”
“I also use Obsidian, and since it's in markdown, I can put my planning & session notes into AI and use it as an assistant to remind me of anything I might have missed.”
“I'm entering notes into Obsidian, but have other higher priorities so haven't learned nor organized how I'm going to use it. Nevertheless I am very interested in this and will look into it.”
“I'm going to second obsidian, I find it great for letting notes as a player as I can quickly find most notes even if I don't remember the name because of how they're linked”
