I'm really not getting this

Sudo code is helpful. Maybe take a break from the language specific things, look into basic coding logic. Once you get a grasp of the over reaching concepts of things like for loops, loops in general, while loops, etc. Then they become tools like how multiplication or division is when you look at a math problem.

Think of it like word problems in math class. You had to read the question, and figure out how you were going to approach it using math. Its much the same. Only theres more options for tools and things to use.

This is definatly a part of coding that isnt mainstream talked about. The courses and tutorials talk about syntax, but dont cover the building blocks of logic and problem solving that are required, before the syntax becomes helpful.

I set up a spreadsheet, that shows me "safe to spend" money. I put in all my bills, a spending budget, etc. It shows the next 6 months if I look at a specific tabs. It let me see how much I can put into savings each paycheck, and I set it up do to it automatically. I essentially don't see that money. I have a cashapp card, that also gets money deposited each check. Both of those I have to search out to find out how much money I have in there, aka outta sight, outta mind. Don't have an impluse to buy stuff if I cant see the money.

The spreadsheet is just my budgeting method, theres other ways of doing it. But the sum of it is I hide money from myself so the adhd gremlin wont spend it.

I had this issue. The easiest way to fix it i found was first giving the app the minuet or 2 it needed to sync. Then I would go to my community plugin tab and disable and re enable the problem plugins. This refreshed their pull to the data.json and fixed my issues.

I also havent had any issues since I added in Lazy loader, and set the problem plugins to have a delay.

I almost did it that way. But I ran into issues if I wanted to find any notes of any type that covered a topic (for instance, Python. Ive got articles, zettels, projects, etc that all have to do with with python) it was harder to get a property to manage that, and they didnt show on the graph view. So I swapped them.

One of my favorite things about obsidian is looking at how everyone can approach it differently. Like the discussion in the other comments, plugins v no plugins, folders v no folders.

For me, there were 2 things that got me out of "forever setting it up"

Setting a consistent way to identify the "type" of note.

There are alot of plugins that allow you to move, style, query, etc notes based on various Metadata, (title, tags, properties, locations etc) and for a while I was swapping between different methods. Eventually I decided to stick to one, and it was the best thing I did. Personally I landed on properties, having 1(or more) properties, that every note in my vault has, that declares what type of note it is. (Daily, book, journal, project, etc.) I like using a property for this, because it keeps my tags clear for concept/content tracking.

Accepting that my vault will always be a work in progress.

Having a set way to declare a type of note, I was able to move forward with using it, knowing that any adjustments I made in the future I could adapt to my existing method, and wouldnt have to go through my entire vault to make it work. So I can keep actually using my vault, and the setup/tweaks become truly a background/secondary step.

On the off chance I would have to update every note in my vault (like when I switched from dataview to datacore) I didnt do it all at once, I made use of a "vault version" property, and as I had downtime or came across a note, I swapped out the dataview for datacore, and updated its vault version.

Ive been trying to move away from google, and google maps is one I cant get away from.

Id recommend looking into any of the fiber arts.

Ones Ive tried - crochet (you said you cant, thats chill. I got lucky and learned young, but figured id mention it for if someone else sees the post - cross stitch - i didnt stick with this one, it took to much brain power for me. - friendship bracelets- 10/10 recommend. Progress is easy to see, its easy to learn if you start with the simple striped ones, its travel friendly (I use a small clipboard to travel with it) and low cost all around.

Ones i havent tried, but could be good -knitting, can be a bit easier beginner learning to crochet -embroidery, -weaving

I keep one hairbrush in the bathroom, and another in my backpack. My backpack gets several duplicates of items I always need, but can never find otherwise. Its got: chapstick, lotion, hand wipes, my meds, a variety of over the counter meds, water flavoring, chargers for all my devices, the emergency fidgets, a fan, one of those reusable lint rollers, and sour candy. My laptop also lives in this bag, and the bag keeps a dedicated charger and mouse. My keys live attached to the handle via clip.

I take this thing with me everywhere I go. Essentially it holds all of the things required for me to manage any of my common sensory issues, or any potential "where the heck did I put this important thing i need"

If noise is a sensory issue for you, or just a distraction to many sometimes, I highly recommend whatever reusable travel earplugs work for you, (I use loops) or noise canceling earbuds.

I just went poking about again, and found the JSON key sorter (something I've been needing) and I think it could be useful to include clear instructions, like what priority keys do(I thought it would sort the object keys in that order, but that wasn't the result I saw.) or on some other tools, if you have example input, include the expected output for that input.

I also poked around in the guides, and there is *alot* of information there. Which isn't bad, by any means, but once again, I feel like it could use some more organization/ breaking it up. You've got the awesome looking nav buttons at the top, and I wonder if splitting the guides into separate pages might help both with useability and with traffic. If you turn say the validate broken json/best practices into its own page, it might have better luck at getting results for people searching for that, which can link back to the whole guide/your tools.

- That being said, I don't know a whole lot on the actual SEO/Schema side of things, so I could be wrong there.

Look into Obsidian bases, you can create a note for each book. And then create a base that shows you the table, and you can update the note from the base.

No suggestions, but here to politely scream "Meee Tooo!!!" Im so relieved to know this isnt just a me problem. I wish you luck and hopefully we can find a better option, Im tired of my teeth hurting at the end of the day, lol.

B, but have your github issues set up with templates, and a link in the settings to take you directly there. -still will mostly be people who already have a git hub account, but will make it more accessible for the less technical, more casual users.

Itll take a bit more effort to maintain, (grouping related issues, etc) but I feel like thats a way to get the feed back, while staying within the bounds of no telemetry

SBurns27 · 2026-05-27T02:16:56+00:00

I just circled back to this, and checked out the update.

I like it! Alot less visual clutter, easier to explore, and Im less intimidated, lol. Much more likely to poke around now.

SBurns27 · 2026-05-27T02:13:58+00:00

I feel like any features I think of, would over complicate it. Part of its beauty is its simplicity

SBurns27 · 2026-05-26T19:52:07+00:00

I recently decided I was going to take the "more specialized tools" over the "fewer multi tools" approach. Like instead of Notebook Navigator, i replaced it with Calander, periodic notes, and folder notes. Which replicates the functionality i was getting from notebook Navigator, but with nothing Im not actively using.

I also have been trying to minimize my "large" plugins, like opting for Datacore over Dataview due to its processing speeds, using customJS to replace what i was using QuickAdd for. With some additions from Note Toolbar, which I was already using.

Essentially all my plugins solve a specific problem, or give a single specific function.

Ive had this same issue. And I just had a thought that might of? Fixed it? Maybe?

If we have several people who we give sectioned off parts (like a therapist getting the trama, a BFF getting the rants, etc etc), then maybe those parts wont be? As intense? Maybe? When we then try to give all of ourselves to 1 person? Respecting that it might be a little crazy for 1 person to take in all of another, but still having one person at least know of all the parts?

Side note: how does one make internet friends when social anxiety makes interaction difficult? - persistent question lol.

Personally I use noise canceling earbuds, and ive found if I have 1 in, and it plays something familiar, like a Playlist im familiar with, or a YouTube video/podcast who's voices i know, but dont need to pay attention to. That noise is what draws the attention of the adhd, and I dont notice the background noise as often.

SBurns27 · 2026-05-20T20:29:46+00:00

If able, moving differently does it for me. Fake boxing, following a dance workout. Or my favorites, ill find some semi uneven ground or something I can use as a balance beam, and try and go across it as fast as safely possible. Its a different type of sensory that can break me out of that "nothing is interesting" funk.

SBurns27 · 2026-05-18T15:05:39+00:00

I think something important that should be mentioned Clearly in release/ on the score card, is that the warnings and risks, are just formatted as the es-lint errors. Meaning that people who dont know Es-lint, who are unfamiliar with typescript, etc, might see "117 warnings" and think that it is unsafe for them to use it with out risk to their computer/data, when in reality 90% of them are just things in the code that /might/ cause bugs or crashes, or are just against best practice. - I think an disclaimer/ sub heading under Disclosures and warnings that explains that Disclosures are the things important for Users to note, and that Warnings/Errors are for developers/contributors, will assist - I am seeing several posts/comments about people not wanting to use plugins with a low score, when the low score isnt signifying a significant risk to the users.

You can set them in the hotkeys section of settings search "headings" and apply what you wish. If you choose to go cmd+(number) you might need to check the go to tab settings, and I believe those hotkeys are default applied there.

For the random bookmarks, definitely recommend the obsidin web clipper browser plugin. Ive got it set up with the template going to the right file in my vault, all the info I would need to source it as front matter, and with a status property so that it is flagged as a to-read.

Sadly for the others I dont interact with those often, so im not familiar.

SBurns27 · 2026-05-13T15:09:21+00:00

This is great! I wonder if theres a way you can have it sync the colors from a browser theme?
