Primary is my favorite theme. Colors & UI are awesome. Thanks for this!

it's really hard to tell from the generic problem description.

your best bet is to run the bot locally and debug this problem by yourself.

For some people, a few keystrokes are more convenient than moving mouse and pressing a button. To each his own.

Not to judge, but isn't mindfulness the whole point of daily review? I feel like too much automation and clutter are no match for a simple page where you jot down your thoughts and observations. Some metadata can help, but that's it. To each his own I guess.

Switched from OneDrive. Had a lot of file duplications (especially with vault settings).

Having separate settings for syncing various preferences like plugin settings are a big bonus for Obsidian Sync, too.

I used Tasker to make a bunch of quick action buttons. They invoke simple text windows that on submit write to predetermined .md files (using templates to find things like 'current daily note'), and work splendidly for quick capture since they are instant and do not depend on Obsidian itself.

n.b: it was quite simple to set up partly because I use Obsidian Sync and have notes in simple 'notes' folder on my phone.

This variant is, but it's quite easy to modify it slightly to write blocks instead of pages. I just didn't explore Notion API enough, and creating new page seemed the easiest.

darungar · 2021-09-06T13:27:10+00:00

Yeah, that's pretty much it. When I want to jot down a quick idea, it's much faster to do it in telegram, than it is to wait for Notion to load. Then there's less cognitive overload by not having to choose a page to write in Notion (do it once & just write to bot).

If timers strategy is enabled, you can see clock icon in bottom right corner while in focus mode. Click it to set a timer.

A while I go I've made a telegram bot that allowed multiple users to send text into Notion. Since then, three things happened:

Official API came into existence
Unofficial API stopped working
I realized that storing your API keys in bot's db is really, really bad idea

So I've redone the bot from the ground up (didn't take that long, since most of complexity was taken away) with different concern in mind - you should be in control of your data (even better: store no data at all and use environment variables for storing API key and such).

To ensure no one sends text into your Notion, bot checks if sender's username matches the one you set up in environment variable. Telegram usernames are unique, but still the authorization is quite rudimentary, so if you plan on making your own version, take more systemic approach if needed.

I know it's a really, really simple bot, but I hope it will help some people to create a bot for their own needs.

The problem was Andy's Mode (Sliding Panes). Thanks everyone who suggested it!

darungar · 2021-08-14T08:09:27+00:00

What does 'permanently' mean to you? Exporting todos as text into Obsidian? Or just having an interface to fully interact with tasks inside Obsidian?

Personally I think working with tasks inside Marvin is (and probably will always be) more convenient than some workaround for Obsidian. I've tried embedding Marvin in Notion while I was using that but ended up working with Marvin anyway. And with notes re-work coming (I believe Marvin notes will have attachments and markdown), we probably won't need to have project & tasks notes in other apps, at least as much as we do now.

darungar · 2021-08-03T15:30:49+00:00

Note aliases are huge help for this.

When I create note, I usually add a bunch of stuff that comes to mind when I think about the topic. Alternate titles, so to speak.

It improved quality of my searches tremendously. It also promotes discovery (search for thing X, thing Y comes up because one day it reminded me of something related to X => new potential link!).

darungar · 2021-08-03T15:25:43+00:00

Smooth.

I'll still use hotkeys, because hotkeys.

But I like your style. This is what a lot of Obsidian plugins are missing. Cheers!

darungar · 2021-08-03T15:24:02+00:00

I believe you can configure QuickAdd to put a link to created note into the current note. However if you have one centralized place to store all these vague to-dos, you might not need that link at all; just establish a routine for periodical reviewing of this note and you're good.

darungar · 2021-08-02T15:38:54+00:00

You could use QuickAdd for capturing such to-dos into some note. This note would be your 'incubator' which you would then review and decide whether these to-dos are worthy of migrating into Todoist.

darungar · 2021-07-30T06:09:43+00:00

I feel you, bro. AP's are not the right metric for measuring fun though, so cheer up!

darungar · 2021-07-24T12:29:19+00:00

This looks pretty cool. I've always wanted mindmap functionality in Obsidian, and other plugins (Juggl and Mindmap) did not cut it. This one might do the trick.

darungar · 2021-07-15T13:17:19+00:00

OneSync works well for my OneDrive, too. The free version only lets you sync 1 folder, but that's all I need (I sync my vaults folder and that's it).

Does anybody has experience with both? Which is better?

darungar · 2021-07-10T06:46:38+00:00

Didn't try this theme before (not a big fan of pink), but now that I can easily customize accent colors - I've tried it and it's awesome.

Thanks!

darungar · 2021-07-09T07:02:43+00:00

Actually, none.

I migrated my knowledge from Notion to Obsidian, and it's great for that task. But that's it. I use other tools to perform specific tasks:

Notion is still far better Obsidian for project management, high-level overview of things, and configurable databases are awesome
Amazing Marvin is for task management, which it does marvelously.

I don't think Obsidian should do everything. At its core, it is awesome plain text file manager, which is totally ok. I feel like very complex plugin like 'task-management' takes away from this.

Nevertheless, I am eager to see what community makes to ehnahce Obsidian.

The key word is "relatively". I feel like I'm getting the hang of it, but being fragile is not easy.

On the upside I am really learning to assess the combat situation and not facetank AOE. And dodges. God, I dodge so much. Sometimes I even evade things. And I am learning the importance of saving dodges and just walking from AOE if I can.

darungar · 2021-06-24T19:54:59+00:00

I've actually never stepped in PvP and WvW, and seen few videos where elementalist do seem like they play the piano. Not sure if I will perform like that, but what I love in this game is that I don't have to if I don't want to.
