@4rkal Hi, I’m interested in your Obsidian to Hugo post, but can’t see it. Do you have a direct link?
@Emotional_Series7814 It stands for Plain Text. Paper, Less. I.e. I'm a plain text nerd who still uses paper, just less of it. It's the name of my weekly newsletter (details in my bio) @thegreekgeek
@thegreekgeek Sounds similar to my approach, which is highly manual just like a regular Bullet Journal. I use letters instead of bullets, e.g. N. for notes, T. for task, E. for event.
@Emotional_Series7814
@Emotional_Series7814 My daily note is a yearly note, organised by month and date with Markdown headings.
Having only one place to go when I want to make a note is working well. I like being able to review everything in one stream.
I record Events, Tasks, and Notes. At review time tasks are either completed or moved to the right list, and notes are either left as is or refactored into their own space.
@grippingyarn @obsidianmd Let's hope @kepano considers it, if he hasn't already.

I have very little to complain about (https://pkm.social/tags/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?
@SamXavia @DmMacniel I'm happy with one vault for most things, mixing personal with business. The only times I create new vaults is for experimenting with different setups (that I don't want to break my regular workflow), and in preparation for sharing with others.
Are there any (https://pkm.social/tags/PlainText) or (https://pkm.social/tags/Markdown) apps that can list the full names of files, on multiple lines, on a narrow screen? Landsc
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).
@geffrey @obsidianmd Someone mentioned the Dynamic Highlights plugin, but I won’t be able to check it out for a few hours. Wouldn’t want you to waste your time if the solution already exists.
@geffrey @obsidianmd A plugin, maybe? Thanks for taking a look!

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.
@kurau @obsidianmd That’s another issue with both iCloud and Dropbox. Both give you the option to specify offline access on a per-file basis, but I’ve found it doesn’t always work as expected.
@lwbrown52 iCloud works, but it’s so darn *slow*! I’ve only had the duplicate file issue once or twice; it’s the 2–5 minute startup time on iOS that gets me.
Finally seriously looking at (https://pkm.social/tags/Obsidian) Sync.
Finally seriously looking at #Obsidian Sync.
Where should I store my vault on my #Mac? I feel so lost! For years × ∞ I've put everything in Dropbox or iCloud, but that, I hear, is a recipe for sync troubles.

Why is my Documents folder greyed out? Where am I? \Who\ am I ?? Help me, obi-@obsidianmd, you're my only hope!
@astrophoenix @obsidianmd @drafts Great news, thank you!

I like Reminders, too, but can't bring myself to use it as my only task manager. I keep an overview of what I've got going on in TaskPaper format in #Obsidian, and use Reminders of Calendar only for the few time sensitive things I need to keep track of.
FYI you can make line breaks in Reminders by pressing Shift + Return.

I like that they're using an honour system for this. I could have kept on using Obsidian while justifying it's (mainly) for personal use, but the fact is, I'm actively using it to earn a living in my company and with my writing.
Thanks, @kepano, for trusting us! Simply \expecting\ someone to act with integrity without forcing them to, is a powerful thing.
@curtismchale @obsidianmd @drafts That's good news, thanks
@laurelinae Sorry, I wasn't commenting on your setup!
Just stating that as a general rule, it's fine to have folders if they seem to suggest themselves. It's not a great idea if they feel artificial, and you have to force yourself to use them.
@laurelinae @surrendertogravity if folders are to exist at all, they should be logical, and almost demand to be created because they simplify things.
@nightscout Check out NotePlan's documentation—they, at least, think they can be interchangeable with #Obsidian.
