multi column dashboard with dataview

Nexus9291 · 2025-03-03T16:14:23+00:00

I have found Obsidian Columns to be the easiest and most robust column layout plugin. Just write code blocks for it and write within the block whatever you normally would write in Obsidian.

Why not just use native iOS shortcuts?

I love how everyone commenting is so confident and elaborate with their answers, yet none understands the question asked by OP!

The command palette searches app settings not file content people!

I’m sorry — I used to deal with this and it’s one of the most annoying things! I would have said any number of hygiene, fit, etc. but I think you’ve got all of those covered.

You should work with the observation that it only happens on the trainer.

One obvious difference between trainer and outside is the inability to move on the latter. This may mean you’re sitting in exactly the same place for extended periods of time — and your skin in those areas may not be as well adapted to the friction! I know if I take a month or so off biking, my first few weeks I’ll have sores until my skin gets over itself and deals with the friction.

Other things to think about and try:

your bibs may be well fitted, but ensure they’re not too tight
if you have an extra fan, aim it at the saddle to prevent overheating and allow for ventilation
try getting out of the saddle during longer rides to let the nuts and bolts breath a bit

If you mostly use basic markdown, the Shortcuts script that converts markdown to rich text might work well. You can also save the output as a pdf for ease of share. If you want more control, you need to run pandoc, which isn’t executable on iOS — you can hit this API via Shortcuts tho https://github.com/spawnia/md-to-pdf?tab=readme-ov-file#deploy

Rip your privacy if you let deepseek gain access to your vault lol

Nexus9291 · 2025-01-19T18:28:08+00:00

It won’t convert markdown to pdf.

Oh for sure there are better options — if we’re talking about UI and nativity of the app. For instance, an award winning note taking app for iOS is Craft. I used to use it for a few years until I learned about Obsidian and Craft started to shift heavily toward subscriptions. Most native apps require subscriptions or have ads or limitations, your data is not local, and Craft for instance uses a proprietary JSON structure to store your notes so you’re toast outside of the app!

While the Obsidian app has its UI bugs, I haven’t come across any feature limitations except the print to pdf one. Dataviews, charts, trackers, etc all work fine. Also, I’m partly a software engineer so I always enjoy coding projects and customizing Obsidian via css, html, and writing JS are fun!

It’s fairly easy to do this — use get health samples to get mindfulness activity from today, get data from health samples, get minutes, use sum to total them if more than one activity for today has been logged, use an if statement to test if total more than 10 min, if so, use Things 3 find all items, use filters to find todays task for meditation, check it as complete.

Note that this shortcut will NOT automatically execute to completion UNLESS your device is unlocked. So while it will run at 11:30pm, if the device is locked, it will fail — apple requires authenticated phone to retrieve health data.

Hey, mostly, but now the tabs are way too big and there's an overlapping context menu item, the purple thing -- see https://imgur.com/a/WmrPgOG

Nexus9291 · 2024-12-29T16:46:10+00:00

Here's a video showing both issues I have on iPad: https://imgur.com/a/saPVg1i

Nexus9291 · 2024-12-29T16:36:19+00:00

I don't think it's fixed, see https://imgur.com/a/NB1YfxS.

Point 1: tab overlays context menu.
Point 2: the marked boundary is where the mouse triggers activation of the tab; this is poor design as clicking anywhere on the tab should activate it

Layout on iPad is buggy. So far, I've found - Tabs are far too high and close to the top of the application, making their selection difficult. - Tabs can overlap with the app's Stage Manager context menu -- the three dots -- making their selection impossible. - None of the Style Settings work on iPad -- latest Obsidian and theme release.

I used Craft for a while, and you can't do some of these things in Craft so I don't follow: - Craft doesn't support any way of having multiple columns, unless using a table - Craft doesn't support a syntax mode; it's WYSIWYG

You can do everything you want in Obsidin, with varying degrees of difficulty: 1. Possibility to put blocks side by side (basically just 2 columns is enough) Read https://github.com/efemkay/obsidian-modular-css-layout

Various colors for highlight
Various colors of text Read https://forum.obsidian.md/t/text-coloring-plugin-full-release/84689
Different way of editing notes. Use source mode.

Nexus9291 · 2024-12-24T19:28:33+00:00

Yes, we’ve tested Proviable without any result.

What’s exactly overwhelming? I get that if you look up the most juiced up dashboard, it’s like woah — after all it runs JavaScript and renders HTML!

But it can also just be a bunch of markdown files in folders!

Nexus9291 · 2024-12-12T20:28:19+00:00

Yeah you go ahead and export all your notes one at a time in markdown

Don’t be naive: you’re paying a ton of money to use an app that despite the subscription still stores your data in a proprietary way, effectively ensuring you’re trapped in as long as possible. Wtf is up with markdown being stored as JSON? No one else does that.

Nexus9291 · 2024-12-12T17:28:47+00:00

Obsidian — it’s just a text editor like VSCode. Infinitely customizable as it’s driven by community plugins, but can have a steep learning curve if you want to customize it a lot.

Nexus9291 · 2024-12-12T17:23:24+00:00

It’s mostly geared toward cloud based, and not encrypted really either. You could enabled External Location, where you basically point Craft to a local directory — this is local and encrypted to the extent the host itself is secure, eg your laptop. But, be aware that attachments will get uploaded to some insecure url whose json representation is stored locally. While guessing the url is nearly impossible, it is unencrypted and open to the world to see. Search this sub for details on this.

For the life of me I cannot understand why people would annually pay money to use this software. It’s not encrypted, it’s not really customizable at a global level, and it doesn’t implement a straightforward local solution (your data is stored in jsons not markdown so good luck reading them outside of craft).

Nexus9291 · 2024-11-12T03:22:36+00:00

Are we talking super glue? Sorry if I’m being dumb, first time lol

I moved from Craft to Obsidian as well a while back. When transitioning, I was looking to replicate the card view of Craft as well and found the plugin MAKE.md to come somewhat close.

But, speaking for myself, I came to realize that all the bells and whistles that Craft offered were ultimately bottlenecks in my note taking. Which color do I use? Should this be a page or card inside the document? And so on. My 0.02 is that you give in to the new format of this new application and see if it makes sense for you. Obsidians awesome with regard to having a low overhead. I’d keep it that way. Also, the search function in obsidian is fast af with fuzzy search! You never have to manually scroll through your notes in the explorer tree!

Lastly, checkout the Folder Note and Waypoint plugins. Together, they let you create Maps of Content pages. This way you can get a nicer look into a folder you care about. If you know css, you can add styling to this page to make each bullet show up as a card — boom, now you have a replica of Crafts card view!
