R.E.M. - It's the End of the World as we Know it

I'd use AI for a number of reasons, all including chaos and chance; I wouldn't use AI to write or change my Obsidian notes but rather to provide at least one different perspective.

Anybody here who has tried Reor with Obsidian?

Reor is a AI note-taking app that runs models locally.

Improvements on tables, mainly to add new rows and columns:

Tables

  • New buttons to quickly add a new column or row.
  • Sorting table columns now ignores formatting characters.
  • There's now a smaller minimum width for table cells.

Hi! Would Excalidraw work for you?

I also use more than one vault:

  • cooking recipes (read-only, used for reference, contains all recipes from Paprika, a recipe app)
  • Microsoft Writing Style Guide (read-only, used for reference, synced from the official Microsoft GitHub repo)
  • Tasks and everything synced from Readwise; I read and review books mainly for publishers so it's super handy to keep book notes and when to publish what in the same space
  • dumps from projects with a lot of text that allows me to use the vault as a kind of database

I use Obsidian for different purposes:

  • my digital garden, handled via a plugin and GitHub
  • technical writing: I work as a tech writer so I use Obsidian for research and to review my writing against a number of frameworks and style guides
  • create presentations: nothing spiffy, mainly using the built-in presentation functionality
  • note-taking in meetings: I take notes of everything, from screenshots to screencasts to audio. Everything is searchable through the Omnisearch plugin

Wow! Thanks a lot! So weird, I've used all kinds of bookmarking services and built my own with the Dataview plugin in Obsidian... This is very easy. I can confirm that the sync part works without a Raindrop subscription.

Thanks. Must try this one out.

Would you say there's need to use MarkDownload now that Obsidian handles copy+paste from web pages better than in the olden days?

I used MarkDownload a few years ago, but these days I mainly copy webpage contents and paste it into Obsidian. Is there an upshot to using MarkDown instead of doing it my way?

Thanks! I just tried Omnivore, but it appears that highlighted images are broken in Obsidian; these images don't link to the original image but rather through Omnivore's own proxy, which (for me) breaks the images.

I prefer the Pocket > Readwise > Obsidian route, meaning I use the Readwise plugin in Obsidian. It costs a pretty penny but doesn't send images through a proxy...

Oh my! Thanks a lot. Trying it out now, and there so much to do by using the Style Settings plugin!

My favourites are:

This is my favourite theme at work. Beautiful in dark mode and works perfectly with the Style settings plugin.

My favourite on mobile. Simple, fast, and supports a few plugins that I really dig.
