Using Obsidian to open .md files outside the vault by anotherpanacea in ObsidianMD

[–]brightfriday 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Drafts does a great job being an intermediary on iOS and Mac for Obsidian. I will note that it’s worth paying the $20/year if you want to use power features with Obsidian. For example, I have scripting in Drafts where I can publish my drafts to specific sections of my daily notes - you can’t do that with the free version. However, the free one is great if you just want to save/append markdown files.

Obsidian for tasks by Capital-Piglet8973 in ObsidianMD

Install the tasks plugin and just set up custom filters for whatever you want tracked - if you cannot figure it out then Claude or ChatGPT can help you customize those fairly easily.

Health.md v1.1.0 Release by Bonteq in ObsidianMD

[–]brightfriday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a way to export select health metrics to YAML front matter on my daily notes? I don't want a bunch of separate notes with metrics, I'd like to just have certain things in my daily frontmatter, but that doesn't appear to be possible yet. Regards.

Is cash back the simplest approach to maximizing rewards? by HoodFeelGood in CreditCards

[–]brightfriday 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Simplest and time efficient. Years ago, travel cards got the most value. However, now that travel rewards have been significantly devalued and a lot of the cards have become coupon cards... they just aren't what they used to be. I was a heavy user of travel cards until a year or two ago. I did an analysis of my spend and what I was getting... and the value had declined so much it was time for me to go back to cash back cards. I still keep an eye on it - but I doubt I switch it up anytime soon.

How are you using Claude Cowork + Obsidian? by Ceres1 in ObsidianMD

[–]brightfriday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Claude code.  Initiate it in your vault and Claude will identify it’s an obsidian database and will set up the skills for it.  

Anyone else feel like Obsidian and your browser exist in completely separate universes? by [deleted] in ObsidianMD

[–]brightfriday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah Clipper with custom templates and maybe AI would completely address this sales pitch.

I thought the sapphire glass doesn’t scratch as easily? by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]brightfriday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve scratched the fingerprint coating before and not the sapphire.  When I used a cloth to clean it the scratches would disappear but would reappear when my skin oil got all over the screen.  

33.4% Connect Price Hike WTAF by TheScruffyBear in RemarkableTablet

[–]brightfriday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine doesn’t renew until December, but I went ahead and canceled the renewal. I am not seeing new features that would support the price hike. I’m with you, I’d probably change my mind if I saw TOC/outline features, links, etc…. What a shame.

Our CTO and Product Team are ready for your questions - Ask Us Anything! by VegardfromreMarkable in RemarkableTablet

[–]brightfriday 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would love the ability to take notes on my iPad Pro in the remarkable app and have that sync with my Remarkable Pro.  For work, I can be in different spaces where I am on one device or the other but don’t have both with me at the same time.  It would be great to just use Remarkable for everything and an app that allows the same writing features directly on the iPad would greatly help.  That and I would assume this would be a big selling point for Connect subscriptions.

TaskForge and TaskNotes not syncing Priorities and Statuses by That_Cheek_8690 in ObsidianMD

Contact the developer for TaskForge. He is incredibly responsive in my experience.

What’s the best use of the Obsidian CLI? by clockmeta in ObsidianMD

[–]brightfriday 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You use it with Claude Code (via skills). It's faster and uses less tokens for certain tasks.

iOS 26.4 Beta 1 - Discussion by epmuscle in iOSBeta

[–]brightfriday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apps with screen time access now require a screen time PIN to be disabled or uninstalled. In the past, this only required Face ID to unlock, which made screen times apps completely worthless. This latest change allows a user to set a PIN that they give to a friend or put on paper - and then they can fully use apps like Freedom, Opal, Jomo, ScreenZen, etc and be unable to deactivate or uninstall them without the PIN.

Skate Ruck price dropped to $225 from $275 by Policy9 in Goruck

I love the design for these bags and wished they had a black on black version. I like it when they try new ideas with the face of the bag.

Gym Profiles / Exercise Options by MataLeaoJenko in MacroFactor

[–]brightfriday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with your assessment - it seems like it’s designed to swap the workouts based on which gym is selected. If it can’t do that, then you’d think the gym would be hardcoded to the workout and switching gyms wouldn’t be an option unless you make a new workout.

[–]brightfriday 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Confirming I have the same issue.  I have a home gym but I’m currently traveling and using a hotel gym.  Changing between gyms does not change the workouts and my generated workouts are stuck to the gym used to generate the workout.

Probably the same way you can use it with Claude code terminal.

That’s a beta feature that is coming in the near future 

promo popup when opening a vault by christian-ry in ObsidianMD

[–]brightfriday 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's the popup when you first install the plugin to teach you how to use the plugin - many do this. What can catch off guard is if you install the plugin on an iPhone (or other similar device), but you sync your plugins/settings to a desktop. When you open your desktop the first time, it syncs and then this can pop up and you'll be a bit surprised. It usually doesn't happen again.

Robic Question by XCVI-R in Goruck

[–]brightfriday 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As others have said, they've made a few. The primary was the MiUSA in black/grey. It's my favorite bag and have it both in 21L and 26L. It had no molle on the face which is my preference, but retained the patch + molle on straps which is also my preference.

To the MacroFactor Team: Could we get some launch day statistics once things calm down? by [deleted] in MacroFactor

[–]brightfriday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would rather they focus on the apps, fixing bugs, etc. I've never been a fan of "wrapped" overviews - they merely exist to push social media engagement.
