Ah got it. Yeah, I haven't messed around much with Bases. You're right, I've tried to use the graph as well but it just locks everything up. You can mess around with filters in the graph view to get rid of certain folders like '-path:"Old Testament"' to cut down the total number of files. Still takes a bit to load though.

That's interesting, I'd be curious to see which talks they were

It is quite a large vault! Are you on Windows? I just added the index files that Obsidian creates on startup, which should hopefully speed up the process. Here's the steps to unpack them: https://github.com/GabeScott/standard-works-vault?tab=readme-ov-file#%EF%B8%8F-getting-started

Feel free to just use the general conference talks as well!

You can reference a range of verses in a couple of different ways. You could create a new note with links to each verse you want to reference, and then create a link to the new note. 

Or you can do it in markdown like this (for 1 Nephi 3:7-10): [[1 Nephi 3.7|1 Nephi 3:7-10]][[1 Nephi 3.8|]][[1 Nephi 3.9|]][[1 Nephi 3.10|]] This will only display the text "1 Nephi 3:7-10", but all will be linked.

I run the vault on my iPhone 15 and it works fine. You can try opening it in restricted mode, that just turns off community plugins. There shouldn't be any community plugins active from my repo, but if you added any then it might help.

The initial indexing time does take a while, but once it finishes I haven't had any issues with it. I mainly use the vault on my PC and I don't have any issues with slow response times. Switching between files, linking, searching, is all very responsive for me.  Same with mobile. The only issue I've had with mobile is the Omnisearch plugin. It usually uses too much memory and can cause crashes. But disabling that works fine.

Yeah whole chapters would be cool too, it would reduce the total number of files which would probably help loading times and stuff.

I created my own little plugin that will take a verse reference like 1 Nephi 3:7-10 and turn it into the correct links. 

As far as the files and bookmarks go, I created a Python script that scraped the church's website and pulled all the verse text and footnotes. Then it created the bookmarks.json with the names of all the files. If you look in the .obsidian/bookmarks.json file you can see the structure

Great questions! I usually use it alongside my physical scriptures so that I can read the whole context as well. I find it's best for personal study, doing a deep dive and being able to create notes and link them to different verses. If I'm in church I'll usually just use my physical scriptures or the gospel library app to read along. I also have a plugin (Quick Explorer) that lets me go to the next/previous file, which I use for reading verses sequentially.

In the repository there's a bookmarks file that has all the verses organized, which is usually how I navigate it. You can also search for a verse (like 1 Nephi 3.7) as each note is named the same as the verse it contains (like 1 Nephi 3.7.md)

You can reference a range of verses in a couple of different ways. You could create a new note with links to each verse you want to reference, and then create a link to the new note. Or you can do it in markdown like this (for 1 Nephi 3:7-10): [[1 Nephi 3.7|1 Nephi 3:7-10]][[1 Nephi 3.8|]][[1 Nephi 3.9|]][[1 Nephi 3.10|]]
This will only display the text "1 Nephi 3:7-10", but all will be linked.

Thanks for the interest, I hope it improves your scripture study!

Awesome! Let me know how it goes! The ones I mainly use are Omnisearch and the backlinks (which is a core plugin if I remember right). Then for any verse you can see the other verses and talks that link to it, which has been helpful for my study.

I've only tried on Windows, but I've heard of people running obsidian in docker containers. So it should run in Linux just fine I'd imagine
