What people previously said about Obsidian

“Health Dashboard in Obsidian”

“I opened the Vault for the first time and it hung. I then tried to add a few hundred files at a time. The indexing took a few days. I couldn't open the Vault, it would just hang.”

“I am very happy with obsidian now but it was definitely a process. I’ve used most of the note taking apps out there & obsidian is by far my favorite now that it’s set up.”

“I used Obsidian in its simplest form... with zero wikilinks or even hashtags for a long time before I did anything fancy. The the sheer ability to "search" on filenames was good enough...the extra structure came years later.”

“Your vault will only work if it works around how YOU operate. And I get you may not know how that may be or how to make Obsidian work along with you, but that takes time.”

“Don't build first. Just start taking notes and recording things. When you discover you have a need for something, then go look and find it, or implement something.”

“With a little help from chat-gpt I hacked this bib-file into .md-files, named after the title of the paper.”

“Must also say that Obsidian has changed the way I study forever, it’s so clear and user friendly!”

“Which pen display tablets are good for reading and note-taking? using obsidian with excalidraw plugin.”

“Layer 1: inside Obsidian. No scripting needed.”

“Right now I use Shortcuts to append to my daily note but not always works, will try your one!”

“Nice, this is a problem I've run into too — hotkey plugins in Obsidian still feel a bit clunky for quick capture. Good that Type stays simple instead of trying to do more.”

“Ah fair enough, obsidian shines at managing vast and scattered info. The plugin looks interesting too.”

“kind of related, I love your guides on Obsidian”

“Obsidian is great until you just want to capture one thought. I made Type write straight to Daily Notes”

“Hello fellas, I want to start using Obsidian in my development/coding along with Claude Code to perform more efficiently.”

“Prettifying took like a day or maybe a couple of hours most of which was to understand how obsidian works.”

“Try the core plugin Web Viewer - it allows you to open a browser tab in an obsidian tab itself.”

“Ive tried web clipper but that doesn't really allow for note taking”

“i have an Obsidian vault with THOUSANDS of notes as markdown files:”

“Great project. Any plans to let users point the CLI directly to an existing Obsidian vault for the markdown files?”

“Obsidian is a GUI app for your personal notes; engrym is a headless CLI your coding agent drives, and the KB lives in the repo versioned with the code (or locally if you want to not mess with the repo files).”

“How does this differ from Obsidian?”
