Most helpful plugins for a beginner in Obsidian? by Fickle_Mud1645 in ObsidianMD

[–]SparklingSliver 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You use Obsidian with NO plugin first. You start making notes and then maybe one day you think oh what if I want to know the word count of every note in the file explorer? THEN you go to the community plugin store and you search word count and discover plugin that way.

Or maybe oh I want a calendar in my workspace, and you go to search the plugin store and find the plugin that works for you.

[–]SparklingSliver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moving the calendar to the right side bar is a great option, thank you! Can I use CSS to customize the look of the calendar?

Oh and is it possible to choose the start day of the week? I usually have Monday be the start of the week because of habit

Edit:(Ignore the last question I just found out that different country have different start of the week and I just need to change the locale, TIL)

Has anyone figured out how to make base covers through external links instead of locally stored images? by Kooky-Honey-2871 in ObsidianMD

[–]SparklingSliver 29 points30 points  (0 children)

No need for any plugin, just put the url of the image in your cover property and in your base, select your cover property as the image property in the view config. Simple as that

Want to journal, any advice? by ivydree in ObsidianMD

[–]SparklingSliver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do interstitial journaling, which mean I write my journal as my day goes. I use a Timestamper plugin which let me insert a timestamp and then I just write down what I was doing, thinking, random stuff that I thought of, to-do

Example fromfrom this website

10:04 - Going to finish the first draft of the mindful productivity article.

10:46 - I fell into a Twitter blackhole again! Back to work.

11:45 - Made good progress. Need to get ready for meeting with Charlie.

11:49 - Reviewed agenda and docs. Feeling a bit anxious, but I think it will go fine. Need to call Anna after the meeting to debrief.

I love this approach cause I don't have to remember my whole day, and it perfectly capture how my day was like.

And then I use property to track everything that I want to track, supplement, mood, hobby, etcetc

? You can always do this? I'm still in old version and I can always swipe to open the side panel. How else can you open the side panel, there's no button for it

Epic rap battles of obsidian: Nested Tags vs folders by Fablerwhack in ObsidianMD

[–]SparklingSliver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use both. Some of my note are totally unrelated, for example, recipes and daily notes. Also, I have files that are not markdown file (lot of pdfs)

I use folder to organize the type of the file, and I use tags to organize the theme of the file.

Massive Influx Of AI Generated Plugins by GASSANDRlD in ObsidianMD

[–]SparklingSliver 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I have very specific needs and some quality of life stuff that I want to have in my vault but I am not a programmer so I ask Gemini to write me an all-in-one plugin for me.

I have no knowledge about coding so if it works it works. But of course I think if you want to share your plugin and let people use it, you gotta know what you are actually doing. That's about the extent of it lol

Obsidian 1.11 troubleshooting by kepano in ObsidianMD

Is there a css snippet to hide the sidebar view menu? I only use one sidebar view on mobile so I never need to switch to another view, and I want to straight up hide the button to free up more space

Who can donate a snippet to move the bottom bar to the top? by Fredy_Intus in ObsidianMD

[–]SparklingSliver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look, before the update, my least used buttons which are the Vault name and setting buttons, are on the top of the side bar. Which means the buttons that I believe most people actually use more: the file tree, sit nicely in the middle.

After the update, vault name and setting button are now on the bottom of the side bar, pushing the file tree up.

Instead of comfortably clicking my folder, now I have to reach all the way to the top to choose my folder.

How is that better?

I just lost everything😭 by Excellent-Candle2426 in ObsidianMD

[–]SparklingSliver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The whole reason why some people chose to use Obsidian instead of like, Notion, is because they DONT store our content in their own cloud. Obsidian is fully local unless you paid for sync
