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.

Reor and Obsidian? (www.reorproject.org)
 

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.
