“It's a quick-and-dirty fix for Obsidian's fuzzy search silently no longer working at 10k links (whether the files exist or don't, whether they're notes or attachments)”
“I am extremely impressed with Obsidian performance. I have looked into how it handles basesand I came back even more impressed. Kudos to the optimization and development of Obsidian.”
“I don't know if obsidian is the best app for it? But I guess you could see what the zotero plugin has to offer (there's also pdf++ but I have no idea how it works)”
“After using Obsidian for a few years mainly to manage work projects, it worked so well I decided to consolidate all of the notes from all my previous tools/systems into Obsidian.”
“I have a recurring problem with my Obsidian vault: I often remember that I wrote something about a topic, but I don't remember the title, folder, tags, or the exact wording.”
“it can handle anything you throw at it- its more assets that'll slow you down, images, videos, pdfs, etc... but you can limit what type of media syncs on different devices (with Obsidian Sync) if it becomes a problem”
“I have around 10 years of notes I would like to bring into obsidian from different places but worry about having issues with so much data in terms of loading times and reliability.”
“I used Claude to go back and review the text and footnotes, and the site was limiting AIs, so turns out the Obsidian Clipper actually is still the solution for non-programmers like me.”
“I've been practicing GTD for years with Todoist and switched to Obsidian about a year ago because it's more flexible. I REALLY like how it's working for me, so I decided to make a basic vault as a template to share with you folks.”
“I have been an Obsidian user for years but... I decided to start scratch because dumb 17-yr-old me kept downloading any plugin and messing around with the customization instead of filling up folders.”
“I write in Obsidian and one of the headaches I've always encountered was conversion to Blogger. I had tried pandoc in Obsidian but it did not produce the desired outcomes.”
“tl;dr: I use quartz. I have a specific folder in my vault where I put the notes I want to publish and run a command to publish. The repo is elsewhere and I tell it where to find my notes.”
“I used quartz for a while but eventually found it to be more trouble than it was worth and went back to just using the Obsidian program as my viewer.”
“Biggest plus I have noticed so far is that this plugin seems to solve the limitation in polling rate of stylus input that obsidian has. Neither Excalidraw or Ink work with handwriting because the letters come out all spikey and illegible.”
“So far I've been syncing my vault with Obsidian Git and also Onedrive and the "Personal Vault" feature for the more sensitive notes. I'm wondering if I can just go ahead and replace OneDrive with iCloud, because I'll hit the 5 GB limit on my free account soon.”
“I already had a seafile server set up for personal inter-device file sync, I was really excited that obsidian has a community plugin that leverages this. If you have the infrastructure, look into hosting seafile”
“The best and safest solution was 100% Obsidian Sync. Almost no sync conflicts between all devices on different operating systems, native sync implementation, crazy fast sync, easy version history, and the most important was encrypted files. On desktop, I also use Git to back up my files to my Seafile instance.”
“I’ve always wanted to use Obsidian but just never thought I’d be able to make it happen. Until I started playing with copilot CoWork at work and basically turned it into my automatic executive functioning machine. I don’t type anything into Obsidian, I only click check boxes and it updates.”
“I’m working on my second brain too, and honestly you should make it yourself rather than use obsidian. You will quickly realise your individual circumstances require your own unique architecture and features.”
“I use it for studying. Like as an extension to my physical notes. I found the combination to be the best solution for me. Especially the plugin Spaced Repitition does it for me.”
