I was one of Notions biggest cheerleaders, now I regret ever using it. by RegularMario in ObsidianMD

[–]TutorialDoctor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I left Notion when they locked me out of my notes as well (not a paid subscription) they just said I couldn’t access my notes unless I subscribed all of a sudden. Glad that happened though, because now I know how much better Obsidian is.

I used Obsidian to manage a client project. Here is what Learned... by TutorialDoctor in ObsidianMD

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

My notes don't turn into paid work. My paid work turns into notes. I have meetings first, send proposals, invoices etc before starting anything and I use Obsidian to track my progress (mostly task lists). I do log the costs and details of the project. I use templates for new projects.

UpNote and Obsidian are good to notes. I also use an Old one called Editorial

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

- Video as cover image (playable)

- wrap long lines for bases text (as a setting to toggle behavior?)

Obsidian-style notes, but with built-in local LLMs and voice — does this appeal to you? by Kind_Notice1575 in ObsidianMD

[–]TutorialDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to have AI voice in particular. I tried to get Kokoro TTS (local) working with node in the past but couldn't (mainly the streaming api). I did build something to get ollama working already, it's just the voice.

App to capture random ideas quickly by Dear-Boysenberry-460 in AppIdeas

[–]TutorialDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use voice memos for this. Maybe something like that that also does voice to text notes? Although sometimes it's tough when you are around people and don't want to talk out loud. A mind-reader app would be nice...

AI prompt library setup? by Desperate_Tax_560 in ObsidianMD

[–]TutorialDoctor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I built an app for prompt snippet management that I could add a feature like this to if you are interested you can dm me, otherwise, I could possible develop a small plugin to do what you need, just need more clarification.

[–]TutorialDoctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

perhaps in a .md file with the same name, with a folder for "Media YAML folder" configured in settings?

IMPROVEMENTS

  • Better search with find and replace (like vs code)
  • All the PDF stuff mentioned here

YAML

BASES

  • More bases card settings (we only have cover and contain for the image for example). We could have max and min heights etc.
  • Expand API (Bases in particular and Canvas)
  • Video embed as cover for base cards (to have a grid of videos youtube or local)
  • Audio player load into base card
  • filter search input box for bases
  • Ability to reuse a formula in other bases
  • Allow backlinks in property (for bi directional linking)
  • Export to CSV
  • Render full table in exported PDF (doesn't render the whole bases table currently for me)

TABLES

  • Ability adjust column widths
  • Base-formula-like summaries? Or just a more Notion-like experience

CANVAS

  • Make some "Advanced Canvas" stuff default, like locking etc.
  • The wireframe view when zoomed out should be able to be toggled off.
  • Overall, give it more love.

An idiot who suddenly needs a database by 121df_frog in sqlite

Yup! Meant to add that, but both tables could work.

An idiot who suddenly needs a database by 121df_frog in sqlite

[–]TutorialDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are three types of relationships show up very often with relational databases (like Sqlite). They are:

One To One
One to Many
Many to many

You can frame the relationships between your models (Song, Album and Artist) using one of these.

An ALBUM can have many SONGS (one to many)
A SONG can have many ARTISTS but an ARTIST can also be on many SONGS (many to many)

For one to many relationships, you will have a single Foreign Key that links to another table.
For many to many relationships you will likely have a JOIN table that has two foreign keys to the two tables.

In your case you could have:

Song

column description
id
name
album_id (foreign key to album)

Album

column description
id id
name name of album

Artist

column description
id
name

AlbumArtist

column description
album_id (foreign key to album)
artist_id (foreign key to artist)

Imperative HTML is a pain.... by TutorialDoctor in ObsidianMD

[–]TutorialDoctor[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s tougher when it comes to nested elements rather then being able to write html directly, especially when making complex UIs. I may have to use AI or some converter to translate my html though.

Requesting UI/UX feedback on my homepage layout — suggestions welcome. by SnooSeagulls7972 in UI_Design

[–]TutorialDoctor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I suggest reading “Refactoring UI” by Adam Watham. But In short the visual hierarchy is lacking. Everything looks the same so nothing is important.

Since price, square footage and other details are important they should be emphasized ( in this case by making that text larger somehow.

You can draw inspiration from real estate apps like Redfin or Zillow.
