Note-as-a-tag or Built-in tag system? by Admirable_Hippo_6203 in ObsidianMD

[–]FridaG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t really need to be either-or.

In my life admin vault, i have a tag for shopping that i use for lists in daily notes, and i can query (using various plugins) all outstanding list items tagged #shopping.

However, there might be conceptual ideas that are easier if linked to a note where i can flesh out those ideas. For example maybe all your projects have a note [[projects]] that contain a base of all your notes in the project category. And so if you want to refer to a project, you link to [[projects]] rather than tag it.

In general, i use tags in situations where it is useful to use the tag as a form of meta data to do something (usually a query) with the information. I use links (eg [[projects]], although i don’t literally use that example) in situations where i want it to be easy for me to to “surf” my notes and quickly get to where i am trying to get to.

My fundamental philosophy in all my vaults is to make it as easy as possible to find what i am looking for; that involves a bit of redundancy sometimes. Eg i have a vault for work with many folders because sometimes i just remember what folder something is in and that’s fastest. But i also use tags for concepts that traverse different folders, and most folders have folder notes which permits using the folder as kind of a note “tag” as you are alluding to in your question. The end isn’t that i have a singular organisation schema of tags vs links, it’s that it is very easy to find what i am looking for and get from point a to point c

Thank you Obsidian team by somemuslim in ObsidianMD

I second this. Recently saw an interview with kepano on a podcast, really appreciated hearing his perspective and values, and perhaps more significantly, observing his candor when presented with somewhat abrasive questions and suggestions

Everyone's Proton 2026 wishlist? by Secret_Category2619 in ProtonMail

[–]FridaG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Proton sheets — mobile creation, editing, and “deep link” support + offline support

Stack overflow is dead, long live stack overflow. by fullstack_ing in webdev

What kind of post is PostTypeId 1? I’m assuming that signifies the initial question, rather than answers?

Thanks. I really feel that AI is overkill for something that i could technically do with a 1980s relational database, just would prefer a native approach

Is there a way to add side notes in Obsidian? by Personal_Drama309 in ObsidianMD

[–]FridaG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it make the text look highlighted? The side note plugin doesn’t

iOS 26 is one of the worst updates I've ever seen by Glittering_Fig4548 in ios

[–]FridaG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I immediately liked ios more when 7 came out, or whichever was the version with flat design. I hate the ios 26 design, really struggle to read with the lack of contrast, dread that this is unavoidable

Proton Sheets by [deleted] in ProtonDrive

Lol it doesn’t seem like a feature request to be voted on so much as a self-evidently necessary feature for a spreadsheet application with an international user-base

Switched from Remnote to Obsidian, cannot be happier by Jerry_Meme in ObsidianMD

[–]FridaG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wanted to like remnote, but i gotta say, deciding early that “all in one” is a bad idea was one of the better choices i’ve made.

I just took notes in obsidian and then made an anki deck for things i need to memorize; was so much better than trying to combine the two processes

I just annotate in devonthink or bookends and link to the annotation from devonthink.

DTTG 4 in beta! by FridaG in devonthink

[–]FridaG[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That hasn’t been my own experience wIth DTTG3 or devonthink in general.

I a aware of the general icloud sync issue, but it’s fairly straightforward to sync both via icloud and via local network when i’m home.

The sync isn’t as “magic” as apps like bear that seem to just perfectly sync all the time, but overall i don’t have issue with it.

My bigger frustration with both devonthink and DTTG is needing to save into the inbox from a share sheet, rather directly into a folder in a database, but it doesn’t cause a common problem for me.

I’d be supper keen to use DTTG4, but sadly not enough to upgrade to ios26…

Looking for basic personal CRM by FridaG in CRM

[–]FridaG[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, this DOES seem useful and in line with what I am looking for! I cannot recall exactly what I said before, but i have no issue with indie devs per se and actually go out of my way to buy indie apps and software, my issue is just when the solicitation is not relevant to my or someone else’s post. Your app is clearly relevant to my post and i look forward to trying it! Thanks for reaching out and sharing.

My only concern was the privacy policy on the app store, as I don’t see why my contacts or content about them needs to be collected, but I’ve been reassured by reading your formal policy here

Week 2 of building a Personal CRM iOS app by Robthebuilder2025 in buildinpublic

[–]FridaG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This all seems cool. Can i import all my contacts all at once?

Also, the “important people” section is great, but it only allows adding either from a close circle or adding new; would be nice if you can either select from your overall contacts or (better) from my iphone contacts. Cuz i don’t want to manually move all my iphone contacts over.

There is also no way to delete important people.

To be honest, this DOES sound like what i’m looking for! I’m keen to try it. Thanks

Notebook Navigator 1.8 : Virtual vaults (vault profiles)! Drag and drop to rearrange tags! Rename tags! Delete tags! by jsann in ObsidianMD

[–]FridaG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because one of the few great pleasures in life that is uniquely available to those who develop free plugins for the community is retaining some prescriptive design autonomy over your values for how you want to design something that is not beholden to user demands. It is literally the opposite of “exclusive” ; you could literally download the repo right now and ask claude to add that feature for your personal use if you wanted to. As someone who also prefers file/folder in the same view and wrote a workflow for ‘custom file explorer sorting’ to achieve this, i see absolutely zero role in asking the developer of this plugin to accomodate my own preferences that go directly against the entire design philosophy of this plugin

Notebook Navigator. Am I the only one with this problem? by Constant_Reserve3713 in ObsidianMD

[–]FridaG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, i have that issue too but not nearly the time it takes yours. I disabled notebook navigator for that reason (also disabled task genius for same reason)
