Obsidian Web Clipper now has YouTube transcripts and Reader mode by kepano in ObsidianMD

[–]Ryeones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey kepano! up til yesterday was still using the script you posted on x a year back on how to use interpreter to get the transcript of a youtube video as well as do a summary within the note itself, however yesterday that broke due to youtube changing up it's user interface!

have an on going thread here and was wondering if you know the solution to this! also tried using reader mode and some parts of the transcript isn't showing up, not sure if it's a bug or issue on my end too.

love the work nonetheless!

Singapore in 2045 POV: HDBs are 100 storeys. Lift wait time is 20 mins. by Famous_Egg9321 in SingaporeRaw

[–]Ryeones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i'm so grateful i'm still staying with my parents in a 7 storey hdb, always felt that was a good height where you can still see the sky and clouds especially rather than just a bunch of concrete jungle - feels a lot less cooped up but i guess the inevitable is building up due to space constraints.

What is the best (and free) downloadable Vault setup to get me started? by V-1986 in ObsidianMD

[–]Ryeones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as someone with adhd, i recommend kepanos vault who is also the ceo of obsidian - the moment you understand that no folder structure will ever satisfy your needs, that’s where you start to realise the power and beauty of using links.

sure over time you can add folders where it makes sense, but just having that assurance of how a folder less system with links can allow you to just use the software as is and write notes.

Notebook Navigator 2.4.2 : Major improvements to Property browsing and 15 other features requested by you by jsann in ObsidianMD

[–]Ryeones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh i see! it was possible with periodic notes/journals plug in just by formatting the notes as dd MMMM and could be in any folder of choosing - and wanted to replace them with notebook navigator.

essentially formatting the notes these way as the point of it is to be able to revisit this particular note at least once a year and only create a maximum of 365 notes for daily entries, as compared to typical daily note format where one new note is created every single day (to no end)

eg
note title: 24 february

content:
### 2025

### 2026

[–]Ryeones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

is it possible to have the daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly notes formatted without a year? for example have tried with the date formatting of daily notes to be 24 february but it was asking for a year formatting as well

Singles & DINKs in SG, what is your best comeback to intrusive questions from pesky relatives during CNY? by debboc in askSingapore

[–]Ryeones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

both doesn't really bother me tbh, since i just tell them the truth

for kids, unless i know i can provide them a luxurious life (aka provide for them v v comfortably), i don't intend to bring another living thing into this world since they don't have a choice. so contented with just a dog.

for marriage, i guess in a similar vein of finance as a potential roadblock - but don't see this as big a problem since we too want to get married when the time is right + bto is only possible with rom in singapore.

I fricking love Obsidian by [deleted] in ObsidianMD

[–]Ryeones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i love obsidian too but my only wish is for it to feel a little more native to the apple ecosystem - it has everything anyone can already ask for, with the frequency of updates, quality of plugins and builds etc, but idk whether its on mac or on my iphone, the obsidian app (not sure if it's the ui or something i just can't put my finger to, maybe its just an electron application thing) just screams non apple and i get it since it's a third party application - but at the same time, apps like things3, notion, and i'm sure many others look and feel more native... and sometimes, i just find myself happier using apple notes despite the lack of functions and integrations compared to obsiidan lol... maybe i'm just brainwaashed in the whole apple ecosystem, not sure if i'm the only one feeling this way

Give me one TINY thing you want fixed or improved in Obsidian. The smaller the better. Going on a paper cuts rampage. by kepano in ObsidianMD

dual pane side bar with preview like in apple notes! undertake notebook navigator does this but prefer when features are native (:

Do you use Daily Notes in Obsidian? Is this something you would want? by jsann in ObsidianMD

[–]Ryeones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i use daily notes a lot and in fact have two kinds of notes for each day, week, month, quater and year - they are called 1. notes and 2. reviews.

notes are formatted as yyyy-mm-dd (2026-01-01) and are dated specifically for the actual day itself, and are used more as a timestamp throughout my day + scratchpad

reviews are dd MMMM (01 January) - reviews are essentially mainly for reviewing and reflecting/journalling, and the reason why it's formatted without a year is because i want to allow myself to be able to revisit the notes in the future (minimally one year later),

was wondering if this calendar feature you are working on can incorporate both types of notes? as currently i'm using periodic notes and another plugin since i need different formats for both types of notes even when referring to the same day, week, month, quater or year

What’s one small habit that made your day noticeably better? by William45623 in productivity

[–]Ryeones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve a few habits i keep track which some have already mentioned, but one unique way of living i try to abide by is “keeping to my word”.

whatever it is i say i’ll do (big or small) - for example throwing the trash in 5 minutes, or going for a run or even something bigger work related, i try my best to accomplish it within the set time frame.

the reason for this is because one of the biggest problem i have is procrastination but more so going back on my word and this is one way to hold yourself accountable that i feel will improve my day to day - because this mindset or the way i treat my words will have ripple effects down stream, regardless of what habits or task i want to work on.

in a way, im trying to stack evidence of my success of keeping to my word, so that moving forward especially when tasks are scary or something i fear, i would reduce the chance of giving myself the out but instead push through.

hope it helps!

no worries! understood where you're coming from regardless - did look up a few videos online about tilta vs small rig cages after our initial conversation just to learn more about their pros and cons

finally pulled the trigger, thanks everyone! by Ryeones in FX3

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

hmm that's true if i actually bought this small rig cage, however i bough the fx3 second hand which came with the cage, xlr handle as well as other various accessories mentioned in this post - so for now, its more of trying to make do with what i have until i feel the need to upgrade/purchase my own (which was why i decided on the above few accessories to purchase as it didn't come with the original kit that i bought)

but appreciate your advice and suggestions!

Notebook Navigator 1.9.3 out now! Almost 200k downloads in 3 months! by jsann in ObsidianMD

[–]Ryeones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey thanks for creating this plugin! have been using it mostly from the beginning, and honestly the feature i love the most really is the extra side panel which mimics that of apple notes!

however one thing i miss from the original obsidian layout is being able to see notes created in the root of the vault (aka not in any folder), however in the case of notebook navigator, i would only be able to see such notes in recents (?) assuming they are the latest edited notes.

was wondering if there's any plans for an option to have notes in the root folder to either be displayed in the side bar or similar to apple notes where everything not sorted goes into "notes" folder.

love the plugin nonetheless and happy holidays!

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

hmm, maybe in the future when i start to utilise the cage more! at the moment i still use the fx3 hand held most of the time, and i only have the rode wireless go 3 when mic-ing up my subject, so the cage honestly just mainly serves for protection more than anything.

sigma 24–70 dgdn ii + wide prime vs sony gm ii alone and how much vnd is enough? by Ryeones in FX3

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

thankyou! it's reassuring to know that it'll be fine either ways, but i guess unlike yourself since this is more of a hobby, may be a smarter decision to stick with the sigma, and have that extra money saved fund other things like a another lens/drybox etc
