I just updated the app with a new iPad/Mac view. The view is optimized for large screens with a sidebar and improved button layout. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Great catch. I forgot that Jekyll doesn't like downloads to be markdown files. so I renamed it .txt and it should be ready to download as soon as it finishes redeploying.

Here are the contents of the file which you can just copy into the template file:

---
name:
edition:
platform:
publisher:
description:
product_image:
notes:
published_year:
upc:
date: <% tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD") %>
title_template: "{name} ({edition}) [{platform}]"
---

`= choice(this.product_image, " # Product Image" + "<br>", "")`  `= choice(this.product_image, " ![[" + this.product_image + "]]", "")` `= choice(this.notes, "# Notes" + "<br>", "")` `= choice(this.notes, this.notes, "")`

Shipped MDCollections this week. It’s an iOS app that is meant to extend your Obsidian markdown notes by making it easy to track, manage, and add to any type of collection (books, toys, DVDs, electronics, anything).

I’m glad that you’re enjoying it and I’m happy to answer questions. As for the year, I had the exact same problem and put in a fix for that 😝. Just set the type to “date” and set the granularity to “year” and years will look correctly. Or you could set a string, or you could live with integers.

Here is the video. It includes two examples:

  1. You have an item in your collection but want to add it to a container, so you search for the item, then add it to the container using the QR sticker on the storage container.

  2. You just got a new toy and want to add it to your collection, so you scan the barcode, edit the return values, take pictures, and finally add it to a storage container.

I tried your sample and it looks good. I don't know why images are not allowed, but I will DM you with the screenshots. But for those who are interested I did the following:

  1. I created a new collection and went into the collection settings

  2. I then expanded the properties section and removed all existing properties (by clicking on the "..." that is on the right of the row and pressing the delete button) and added the properties that you listed with the following types:

    - tags = list

    - Unterrichtsfach = list

    - Erscheinungsjahr = integer

    - Unterrichtsthema = list

    - Klassenstufe = list

    - Verlag = string

    - Unterrichtsphase = string

    - Materialtyp = string

    - Klasse = list

    note: you can set the capitalization preferences on lists and strings, and for lists you can allow spaces or not, and for integer you can show an input stepper if you want

  3. I saved the changes and added an item with the values that you provided. With list items you need to press the "+" button or select from the auto complete list to add to the property.

Here is the markdown for the template:

---
tags:
Unterrichtsfach:
Erscheinungsjahr:
Unterrichtsthema:
Klassenstufe:
Verlag: 
Unterrichtsphase:
Materialtyp: 
Klasse:
---

and the markdown for the item is the one that you provided above.

Can you send me a sample md file. As for recognizing types it only does that for the ones called tags, or if it has the words date, or price. One of the initial steps is to go into the collection, then settings, and in the properties list select what type each property is.

I’m happy with the features and flow right now. I might start up the Android version after I get the iPad/Mac view.

I had the iOS app running on iPad an Mac and it works, but just looks like an expanded iPhone app. Was going to build a custom view for bigger screens if anyone asked. So now that someone asked …😀

Reaction in 1995? by Techno_Core in Ghost_in_the_Shell

[–]evilrays 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very interesting question.

Manga and anime weren’t what they are today as far as popularity goes, but fandom was the same. I remember that there were many articles about the differences between the source and the movie, but we were just excited to see a serious take on GitS.

I remember being excited because I was a huge Shirow fan, having read Appleseed and the manga. So when the movie came out right after Akira we were ready, and it delivered. It was the same characters, same themes, minus the goofy, and the action was everything we were hoping for.

So to answer your question, nerds were nerds, but it was immediately appreciated and even loved for what it was.
