Hello folks! Due to some of the serious AI pushes Notion has been doing recently, I have been trying to seriously migrate my video game tracker database over to work on Obsidian. I have most of the features from my Notion one ported over, but I can't for the life of my figure out how to use the Meta Binds plugin to replicate this particular button from my Notion database entries.

!

I know Meta Bind can be pretty technical, but I'm curious if anyone has any idea how I can replicate this functionality within Obsidian. My goal is essentially to:

1. Be able to press the button, adding the current date to a property of the document I have labeled "last".
2. Add a bullet point with today's date below the button, creating a list of dates that I pressed the button as I press it.

Thanks for reading my post! Any help is appreciated! I've been pouring over the Meta Bind docs to try and figure this out but so far I've had no luck.

i cleared cache and now it won't regenerate it

it only generate cached entry for new files

A pretty tutorial in article format. Uses plugins.

Author talks about switching from Goodreads. I also switched from Goodreads, but while we're on the Fediverse I might bring this up: I switched to https://joinbookwyrm.com/, another Fediverse thing.

I may be preaching to the converted on this but I was looking to solve two problems:

• Being able to chuck down a quick note in Obsidian on mobile which can take far too long to open. I'd tried suggested solutions like Loqseq but it still felt a bit clunky.
• Import a webpage as markdown on mobile

The latter requirement took me to Zettel Notes and then I discovered that you can just add your Obsidian archive to it and so you also have Mobile Quick Capture too, as the post link says:

> Zettel Notes checks a lot of boxes. If you need a more flexible solution for Quick Capture, and an open-source one at that, check out Zettel Notes. > > Zettel Notes is impressively flexible and versatile. It supports Markdown, synchronization through many different platforms, all forms of media including audio and video, keyboard shortcuts, properties, templates, and much more. > > If you want an app that rivals even Obsidian in features, then Zettel Notes may be for you. > > With a little bit of setup, it also makes a great quick capture app. All you have to do is install it, configure it to your Obsidian folder, and you’re off to the races! > > I did notice a few oddities in setting it up: it’s not set up perfectly for Obsidian, so you may have to fine tune it a bit to get it working like you want. See the documentation for details. > > Zettel Notes is not as easy to set up as Fleeting Notes, but it is the swiss army knife of note taking on Android. If you’re serious about Quick Capture, I recommend giving it a try. > > Pros: > > Quick startup >* Highly configurable >* Can do almost anything you could want >* Good privacy policy > > Cons: > >* Harder to setup initially >* More of a learning curve

I haven't noticed too many downsides and while I wasn't previously prepared to fully commit to Obsidian in my note-taking app journey (having started with Evernote many years ago), Zettel Notes has helped seal the deal. It's already speeding up my note-taking on the go and just become my go-to app for markdown files. I can then switch to Obsidian when I need all the bells and whistles.

@obsidianmd What is one thing you love & hate about ObsidianMD?

⚙️ Workflow optimization alert! Let's talk about automating repetitive tasks within @obsidianmd to save time and focus on what truly matters. #EfficiencyHacks

I have an #Obsidian question. Can you change the default width of a note? I would like to change all my existing notes.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @obsidian

I have a strange issue with @[email protected]. When I pin a note #obsidian with hang. When I reopen it, loading workspace will hang. I have to delete workspace.json to get it to open again or resync my vault. Anyone have any ideas what is going on?

@obsidianmd Will #Obsidian Publish ever be integrated into the Fediverse, do you think?

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.

Kanban for @obsidianmd -- 😍😍😍!

I've wrestled for years re: handling "important but not urgent" to-do projects. Analog bujo collections are a chore to manage vs a tool. This plugin keeps it all sorted on one board + backlinks to any other related notes. 😄

I realize that the lines of text in a normal file have gaps between then, which almost instantly renders this impossible, but I’ll ask anyway. I’m looking for a way to get diagrams like ASCIIFlow in my notes. I’d even settle for a dedicated tab/filetype similar to canvas. My use case here is input with a stylus on a tablet and the original site struggles. Just doing weird things with highlighting random text, because the whole page is text. Canvas kind of does what I want, but there is a speed and elegance to ACSII flow, with the added ability to copy the result as text. I often use Obsidian to write documentation, and various system diagrams often come up. Being able to use characters rather than an image would be great.

In case the “” in the title aren’t clear, I cannot actually offer any financial compensation for this, should a plugin actually be made.

Hello! I'm looking for a plugin or something to turn this

!

into something similar to this:

!

(this app is quillpad, but other apps like samsung notes have this too) is this possible?

I have very little to complain about #Obsidian. It's a truly remarkable app!

One thing I wish it could do is to automatically rename links when their name is changed \outside of the app\. I realise this probably isn't possible, but it'd be nice if it was.

I use the auto link renamer plugin, and it works well, but sometimes I like to bulk rename files in the Finder, and this breaks all the links associated with them.

Unless there's a way to bulk rename files \inside\ Obsidian?

@obsidianmd

I am using @obsidianmd local so no synchronization. But if I would decide to enable synchronization hosted by the wonderful people of #obsidianMD, the price is keeping me away. 8$ is not appropriate. Way to much.

I love Obsidian and the people behind, but not their pricing policy.

Looked at some posts of the Reddit and found this one, thought it was funny so reposting.

This is absolutely gorgeous. I take academic notes in Obsidian and am going to take several cues from this professor’s notes.

I may have also been trying to make a similar thing for math in general, including discrete mathematics. The professor’s turned out prettier than my own. Still going to make my own, taking/making the notes myself will reinforce these topics, but this is definitely a handy reference.

Are there any #PlainText or #Markdown apps that can list the full names of files, on multiple lines, on a narrow screen? Landscape orientation helps, but it is not the solution I’m looking for.

\#Obsidian Is the only one I’ve found so far that can do this.

All I want is to be able to browse the full text of long file names, in a list, in an app that doesn’t take 5 minutes to start up (I’m using iCloud for syncing Obsidian).

@obsidianmd #ObsidianMD

Anyone want to write me some #CSS to make the traditional writer's reminder of missing information, TK, show up prominently in #Obsidian wherever it occurs within a long text?

I'm thinking sans serif bold small caps, nicely letter spaced, maybe in light orange. Like Medium does it. Doesn't have to be offset to the side, just a nice visual blip to catch one's attention in the flow of the text.
