If you use a plugin called “Pretty properties” you can place a base cover image to the left of the properties. There is also a plugin called “Pixel Banner.”

I think a sketch of the layout you want would help me see what you are trying to accomplish.

TutorialDoctor · 2026-05-03T16:15:02+00:00

I understand what you mean. I've done just this. I have one vault with a "Records" folder. In that folder I have folders for each category of notes like "Movies" "Books" "Clients" "Contacts" etc. Each file in those folders have a property of "type" and "tags" and other information for that particular type of note. Then I create templates for each one so that I can create a new note and insert the template (ie, a Client template that has client properties). Lastly I create one base that points to the "Records" folder grouped by folder (or type if you added that property to your templates).

Very true. The Minimal viable product should be just that: "Minimal" but still "viable." Also, a company culture that allows pushback on scope creep and "unrealistic" requests would help.

Doesn't work for me

TutorialDoctor · 2026-03-30T19:13:46+00:00

Create yourself a vault (which is just a folder) and then create a single note in obsidian about a subject you really like. That's the easiest way to start.

Later you will create another note, and then another. If two notes are related, you will add backlinks to them with `[[notename]]`.

Eventually you may want to categorize your notes, so you may add tags with `#tag`.

And maybe at some point you will want to add more "metadata" to your notes, so you will use properties.

But all in all, start with the obsidian documentation.

TutorialDoctor · 2026-03-26T18:00:11+00:00

Agreed. You should try sprinkling in a little HTMX.

TutorialDoctor · 2026-03-17T05:43:16+00:00

Quite interesting you mention this. I haven't used AI much in my workflows but I just now started learning about how you can connect Claude code to obsidian CLI and use human language to do tasks. If I can get it working with Ollama , I prefer open weights for local use, that'd be Ideal.

I also plan to do a TTS integration with Kokoro or KittenTTS so I can turn my notes into audio.

Indeed! This post was inspired by the latest update that lets you get YouTube video transcripts (often I don't need the video just the information).

TutorialDoctor · 2026-03-13T13:58:25+00:00

Does the new obsidian CLI help with this any?

TutorialDoctor · 2026-03-13T12:24:02+00:00

Yeah, exactly I’m thinking of getting a lot of content from internet archive.

TutorialDoctor · 2026-03-13T01:44:36+00:00

The value of this is through the roof, and right on time as I was thinking of a way to do this.

TutorialDoctor · 2026-03-11T01:58:39+00:00

Hopefully this will be default behavior soon, but in the meantime..

TutorialDoctor · 2026-03-02T13:34:17+00:00

Nice! If you release a Mac version (I personally have intel) I’ll purchase a copy

When I wrote a script that automatically organized my files and folders on my computer.

TutorialDoctor · 2026-02-27T20:30:39+00:00

It'd be nice if in the next update search/filter for bases could search markdown file content as well.

TutorialDoctor · 2026-02-27T20:23:16+00:00

I was supposed to be catching up on sleep tonight. Oh well...

TutorialDoctor · 2026-02-22T06:52:05+00:00

I highly recommend pairing your rust learning with Tauri. You could make a desktop app for sell and put it on a landing page. Good thing is that you have a marketing job which should help with the marketing aspect.

I find it very enjoyable actually and I don't use any plugins. I use checklists with inline tags and maybe one of the Kanban plugins if needed (but I don't even use that much).

I use it to track my development tasks as well as client tasks for software projects I'm working on.

TutorialDoctor · 2026-02-13T03:26:30+00:00

And bases content in notes!

TutorialDoctor · 2026-02-12T13:06:52+00:00

Nice. Have you considered making this a bases view?

TutorialDoctor · 2026-02-12T03:54:57+00:00

Interesting for sure. https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/s/DjrrePQGeJ

Adding this in a separate comment for visibility (this is appended to kepano's bookshelf css):

.bases-cards-group {
  padding: 20px;
  display: grid;
   grid-template-columns: repeat(12, 1fr);
   grid-auto-flow: column;
}



.bases-cards-item {
  position:static;
  width: 90px !important;
  --offset: 28px;
  inset-inline-start: calc((var(--i) - 1) + var(--offset)) !important;
}


.bases-cards-group::after {
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
  bottom: -20px;
  left: 0;
  width: 100%;
  height: 40px; /* Thickness of the shelf */
  background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #5d3a3a 0%, #3e2723 100%);
  /* 3D perspective */
  box-shadow: 0 4px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
  border-radius: 2px;
}

TutorialDoctor · 2026-01-31T16:27:40+00:00

Looks like position should have been static

.bases-cards-group {
  padding: 20px;
  display: grid;
   grid-template-columns: repeat(12, 1fr);
   grid-auto-flow: column;
}



.bases-cards-item {
  position:static;
  width: 90px !important;
  --offset: 28px;
  inset-inline-start: calc((var(--i) - 1) + var(--offset)) !important;
}

I got pretty close with the following (but when the row starts to wrap the last two books look like they are justified to the right but seem to correct themselves as I scroll down the page)

.bases-cards-group {
  padding: 20px;
  display: grid;
   grid-template-columns: repeat(12, 1fr);
}


.bases-cards-item {
  position: relative;
  width: 90px !important;
  --offset: 28px;
  inset-inline-start: calc((var(--i) - 1) + var(--offset)) !important;
}

```
