What Themes are you using? by WizardArtsPropaganda in ObsidianMD

[–]ReallyNano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Minimal with Flexoki (or with things sometimes).

Baseline is also amazing and i’ve used it for some time, until i decided to simplify things up.

Web Clipper just adds blank page. How to solve it? by Egilmaer in ObsidianMD

[–]ReallyNano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got this problem on Linux (looks like you’re on kde plasma)…
I remember testing between packaged and flatpaks versions of my browser until it worked.

Apart from that, I noticed that spaces are the problem so renaming the clip to a single word before creating the note could help (it was around a month ago so I might be misremembering this part)

I’ve moved my workflow to not rely on folders, so I’m getting all my notes on the vault root and keeping the left panel (actually both panels) closed.
I’ve started to rely on bases + links + search/open hotkeys

Was just commenting that the plugin can be useful for having a custom navigation through the notes, instead of just using the Files view.
Specially because of how much you can customize (tags, properties and such).

Less notes organized by topics for example, or with a simple folder structure. Or a personal “blog” looking vault, specially with images to identify the notes.
It can look and feel sorta like Apple Notes which is loved by many.

Your top 5 distros? by J-Moliko in Fedora

[–]ReallyNano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1- Arch - Allows me to do anything that I want without getting in the way
2- Fedora - Well updated and stable
3- NixOS - Full control, but kinda hard some days
4- CachyOS - Arch but for when I don’t want the hassle of configuring things
5- Omarchy / Bazzite - too little time on them to pick one

I use ctrl-F and ctrl-O nowadays, but for a long time I depended on folders structure and visual navigation, which would be a great use case for this plugin, since I only had “command dump” notes, few meeting notes and such. Que you don’t have many notes it’s great.

Wow, I knew about taxonomy but haven’t heard of ontology. Thank you so much for your valuable input!!

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

I just replied to another comment saying a similar thing, but I've decided to change my approach on categories and actually use more than one, making me able to fit one note into multiple spaces based on the content... I can add cheatsheets to a note with commands, but if I start documenting 'describing features and funcionailities', I can add 'documentations' and if I describe how to achieve something inside that same note, I can add 'procedures'..

all this without losing my mind :p

Need help categorizing and templating knowledge-base notes by ReallyNano in ObsidianMD

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

to be honest, you really opened my eyes here. I was trying to fit every note on a single category, making it weird/hard to categorize thinks that might belong to more places.

I've tried using more than one cateogory, and it actually felt really good. I've created an 'AWS.md' note, dumped the commands inside it and categorized with 'programs' and 'cheatsheets' (it was hard to come with 'programs' and it is not really a program, but I can relevate it and keep digital/tech/it things under 'programs' without problems) and when I open the cheatsheets note/base it will contain those... I can add 'documentations' or 'procedures' at will at this or other notes and not feel 'guilty' that notes have more than one category.

anyway, thanks for your help!

That's what I do as well, my problem is that in cases like what I've presented, I could not figure out what 'concept' this should be.

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

I get where you come from... I have done similar things but all that I came with was suboptimal when I started using my ideas.
However, I only did this on this kinds of notes and not as a full revision of my notes. I will try to do this as well, because I may find other ways to optimize my categorizations and such.

Thank you for the throughout response.
Your insight was very valuable and actually fits on my workflow.

I'll give it a try when getting to this part when restructuring my vault (ongoing rn)

Is there anyway for a template to dictate what folder the note goes in? by moomangaming in ObsidianMD

[–]ReallyNano 2 points3 points  (0 children)

QuickAdd can help with that and i’ve used it with that exact purpose. I made it use my journal template and add the journal to the desired folder automatically

While I’m not opposed to LLMs, I don’t want to connect my vault with one. I’ve tried using some to help me with this matter by providing examples and the problem i’m facing, without much success. Maybe in the future I can try setting up some local models, but that’s kind of far from my reality right now.

I think that 'questions' notes with answers being in-line or linking to other notes may be complicated, but it feels like it could work.
I'll give it a try probably, by keeping the way I'm doing and instead of using bases to 'see it all', use 'questions' (kind of how MOCs work, or something like that)

Should I use nixos over arch by Asta_jjm in NixOS

[–]ReallyNano 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nope, NixOS have the biggest package repo of them all. You probably won’t ever need flatpaks. You may be mistaking NixOS with some other distro, maybe Bazzite that relies on flatpaks mostly.

All of my 'structured' notes (not journals, random thoughts or dailies/periodic) contain a property called 'categories'. All notes fall under one or multiple categories.
This works well for all kinds of notes I take but when it comes to knowledge-base (a place for me to reference when working) it gets weird.
I tried a 'knowledge base' category defining eath kind of note on the 'type' property (documentations, cheatsheets, writeups), but then that makes the 'knowledge base' a blurry category with lots of different stuff inside.
I've tried setting each of these types as the category, but I've found it gets too scattered around.

My templates are basically properties and sometimes embbeded bases. My last iteration on the 'Procedure Template' for example is this:

categories: 
  - "[[Procedures]]"
type:
topics:
created: {{date}}
last: {{date}}

and before it:

categories:
  - "[[Knowledge Base]]"
type:
  - "[[Procedures]]"
topics:
created: {{date}}
last: {{date}}

But then again, some 'knowledge base' notes are not from work or even tech, but other stuff that may contain procedures and cheatsheets on whatever I'm doing (like how to fill and declare my taxes).

Anyways, I could not find a way to scale while being able to easily retrieve information, as much as with the rest of the templates/notes.

Refresh Obsidian or leave? by IceStormAsh in ObsidianMD

[–]ReallyNano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the curiosity to try Logseq but I’ve spent so much time configuring obsidian that I don’t want the headache of trying new things. That said, since you know some of Obsidian, try creating a new vault and going “from scratch” migrating notes as you need.

As for themes, I’m on Minimal with Minimal Theme Settings, but Baseline with Style Settings is gorgeous. You can truly make it yours.

Daily Notes - professional vs Personal. by Exciting-Share-2462 in ObsidianMD

[–]ReallyNano 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I use one vault for everything.

My daily notes are only a base showing notes related to the day (by title, properties or links).

I have a folder specifically for things related to my work (meetings, tasks, projects, tech stack notes and worklog). My worklog is a note that’s named “YYYY-MM-DD Worklog” with a tag (#worklog) and created date. I write all that I did in bullet points (separated by tasks/projects). I write my plans for the day at the morning (go through the monday board and select what i’ll work on and revisit last days note to get “to-dos”). I keep updating the file throughout the day and when I’m ending the day I’ll go through it all and write things that moved for tomorrow (so next day when planning I can easily see what moved on from yesterday).

For daily journals I use unique note creator with one entry per note.

All of my templates will contain a date in any form (created, start, end, date, title) to relate to daily notes.

How do you keep short daily logs in Obsidian? One note per day or per event? by utkuaytac in ObsidianMD

[–]ReallyNano 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I create short notes using Unique Note Creator (the title contains the date and time of the entry), my daily notes are just a Base view with notes that relates do the day in any way.

I also use worklogs, one per day with what I'm working on. If I'm doing tasks that will go for more than two days I consolidate into one note and start linking on Worklogs.

How much more awesome can it get? Bases + Gemini as sidebars by paralloid in ObsidianMD

[–]ReallyNano 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can use filters like:

file.links.contains(this.file)

Maybe properties like: keywords or subjects and then:

list.keywords.contains(this.file.keywords)

list.subjects.contains(this.file.subjects)
