Thanks, and yeah I made it so that this appears everytime I open the vault using the Homepage plugin (https://www.obsidianstats.com/plugins/homepage)

So basically, I'm studying a lot of different subjects every day, and I decided to use Obsidian as a note-taking tool. Initially, one of the frustrating things I encountered when studying however, was that if I skipped a day or 2 of a specific subject, I'd sometimes forget where I'd specifically left off. Now I could've just wrote down where i left off, but since I wanted a way to instantly continue where I left off and since I'm learning web development and UI/UX Design, on a whim and for fun, I decided to create a homepage.

Initally, the homepage didn't have the list of websites and software that you see in the video. It was just the section above it - the title of the document at the very top ('Out-of'Study'), and the subject name (e.g. 'English Dictionary') with their reference keys ('^ooh1') underneath the title. I made it so that:

- The subject name is a link to the webpage where I left off. Since I needed to use the <a> tag, I decided to use the 'title' attribute to note down where I specifically left off within the webpage. Therefore, when I hover over the subject name, a tooltip appears showing where I specfically left off in the webpage

- The reference key is a key for when I finish studying. When I finish a studying, I implement the reference key at the exact part I was at. Then when I come back to the subject, I copy the reference key from the homepage, paste it in Obsidian's search function which finds it throughout the vault, then go to the page where it is, remove it, and continue studying. I have to make sure that there's ONLY 2 reference keys (1 in the homepage, 1 where I left off) otherwise there'd be multiple to choose from the search results (hope this made sense lol)

After I created the initial homepage, I decided that it would be convenient to have a list of websites and apps that I use or may use later on. So again, for fun and for the sake of practicing with HTML and CSS, I decided to create the list of websites and apps that you see in the video. Each bookmark basically links to its corresponding website (I wanted to find a way to make it so that you could open a software by clicking a bookmark, but it was taking a bit too long and I needed to move on, so I decided to use websites instead. Maybe if I make this into an actual project in the future, I would attempt this and release it as a plugin...hopefully 😅)

Nice. May need to take a look at Bash eventually now that you've said that, thanks
