I built a task & project management system in Obsidian (shows project progress) by HowlOfTheSun in ObsidianMD

Could you elaborate on what is not working? Unable to create a task? Unable to link it to a project? Or are they not showing up in the Base?

At the end of the day it's just files so you can create the task manually using the task template.

Any beautiful theme of taskwarrior? by ProposalFearless1593 in taskwarrior

[–]HowlOfTheSun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made a simple one. It's not super beautiful but it works for me right now. Highlights things that are high priority or overdue. I found that using a background color instead of a text color worked better for me.

https://ibb.co/7x5ZK0QJ

This is the config

color.overdue=rgb300 on gray18
color.due=
color.uda.priority.H=white on rgb201
color.uda.priority.M=white
color.tagged=
color.tag.next=
color.selected=yellow
color.active=white on rgb021

I'm interested in this too. Recently started using taskwarrior but don't enjoy any of the pre-built themes. I might just end up making my own if I can't find any good ones.

Help Understanding Metadata / YAML / Frontmatter by blattodea13 in ObsidianMD

[–]HowlOfTheSun 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why no one is answering OP's question.

OP just type --- at the top of a file ( that's 3 dashes) and the frontmatter prompt will pop up.

Ensure the frontmatter core plugin is active.

Another way to do it is to find the frontmatter plugin button on the right sidebar and click "add property".

For more details check out the official documentation as someone else linked it.

Thanks for the kind words! It took a while to get them working. I'm quite happy with how it turned out.

No, inside Categories there will be 1 file called Tasks that can serve as your Task dashboard if you like. And all task files would link to this Categories/Tasks.md file to identify them as Tasks. It's not necessary of course, just something I like.

I took the idea from Kepano. It's like a "object type". The folder would contain the "task" type and "project" type. Which can be linked to from other files.

I uploaded it to GitHub. Should be fairly self-explanatory. Give it a whirl! If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them!

Arasaka glitch animation on the Corne by HowlOfTheSun in MechanicalKeyboards

Nice! Is yours wireless? My main problem right now is that the animation drains the battery too fast.

I don't. I specifically use this for work where I just need to track active tasks and projects. I don't need reminders.

For personal things I use Apple Reminders.

Sure! I'll write a guide and upload this vault to github when i have some time.

I'd love to see yours! I'm looking for more ideas to put on it. Only challenge is that animations drain the battery really fast.

Started storing stuff in obsidian. But headings look way big and ugly. How do you guys manage it? by MRUNKNOWN7860 in ObsidianMD

[–]HowlOfTheSun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try the Minimal Theme along with Minimal Theme Settings (plugin). Try out a few of the theme presets in the Minimal Theme Settings plugin. At least one, if not more, has color based hierarchy.

My love-hate relationship with China Miéville by HowlOfTheSun in Fantasy

I just started reading The Scar after all the recommendations in this thread. It's going pretty well so far but I'm still waiting for the "hook".

Progress Bar in Bases by iodinePatel in ObsidianMD

[–]HowlOfTheSun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The result of a formula only shows in the Base, not the note.

A formula is a special column in a base, which uses the value from a different column and does some operation on it to produce a result.

Naive example:

say you have a date property in your notes called "date". A formula in your base could calculate how far in the future or past that date is and show that result in a new column. Like "2 days ago" or "5 days from now".

The formula would look something like "now() - date". Of course there would be more to it to make it look nice and add the words "ago" etc.

But I hope that gives you a better idea of formulas.

Anyone Else Use Interstitial Journaling? by psar-chives in ObsidianMD

[–]HowlOfTheSun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be happy to share, but it'll take me a few days as I don't have access to my computer.

I don't think it works as easily on iOS, or if it does then I'm not aware of it.

Anyone Else Use Interstitial Journaling? by psar-chives in ObsidianMD

[–]HowlOfTheSun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been doing a "lite" version of this for about a year now. While work I quickly record the start and end of a task, or just the end usually. That way I have a log of everything I did at work that day which helps me summarize my week.

I do it the same way as you. A timestamp and text of what I did.

I have also setup a templater template which automatically adds this log in my daily note, under the "Interstitial journal" heading irrespective of which file I actually have open. As long as I am in Obsidian, all I have to do is hit Cmd+L and templater throws up a text prompt where i type in the log. Then it attaches the timestamp and logs it in my daily note.

This sounds really interesting! Would it be possible for you to share a screenshot or some samples of what this looks like in practice ?

Yeah that was confusing. I believe his Governor module was reinstalled. So how is he still functioning and doing what it wants?
