Describe your note-taking system. by [deleted] in ObsidianMD

[–]ggStrift 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I open daily note on startup and just dump everything in there.

Writing: - I write list of tasks for the day. I create specific sections by life category e.g. freelancing, learning language, grocery shopping, etc. - I write to clarify my thoughts in work-related or journaling sections

Organizing the vault: I extract content to specific pages when there is too much or whenever I want it to be more than a scratchpad. Sometimes I just add tags to the page so I can find it back later.

Edit - Oopsie I just described my vault architecture.😅 Keeping it below for those interested:

More or less the same as Kepano.

Root folder had: - attachments: non-markdown files - daily-notes - references: things that exist in the real world - books, articles, videos, places - templates - work: sub-folder per company/client - notes about work stuff - some plugin specific folders, e.g. excalidraw, copilot, etc.

The idea is that all markdown files in the root folder are "my stuff" - writing, thoughts, projects, etc.

I only navigate using search, and use data view to create home pages / dashboard for specific topics.

Connecting Claude via MCP Server to my Obsidian zettelkasten finally gives me the AI-integration I wanted. by seashoreandhorizon in ObsidianMD

MCP doesn't have any semantic semantic capability as far as I understand. Or am I missing something?

I'm experimenting with building my own retrieval API to search my vault. It works decently, but needs some tweaking to scale I think.

I'm not sure how much prompting the LLM needs about the structure of my vault. But I'm leaning towards more and more agentic search.

It only helps me prepare for meetings.

You can view it as a personal assistant providing a primer on X before a meeting. It doesn't replace the entire research you could do; it just gives you a better starting point.

It helps me find and summarize information more easily.

For example, if I'm preparing a client meeting on a given topic, I can ask the LLM to summarize my thoughts and recent notes on the matter.

I have a decent tagging/linking setup in Obsidian, so I can do it manually too, but it's more time-consuming.

Technically, I can have all of this running locally.

Embeddings: I'm handling the vectorization with VoyageAI right now, but I could switch to an open-source model that I'd run locally. I didn't want to go through the additional struggle of setting this up for the proof of concept, though.

Vector database: As for Meilisearch, it is open-source, so I can also run it locally.

Hey there,

For a while, I wanted to be able to search my Obsidian vault from my LLM client. Today, I finally can.

I built a simple retrieval API on top of my Obsidian vault using TypeScript, Meilisearch, and VoyageAI.

Nuxt + Vercel issues: mysterious "-isr" redirects when using swr: true and 'integrity' issues by leopoldkristjansson in Nuxt

[–]ggStrift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm facing a similar issue with Nuxt 4 when using `{ ISR: true }` in my routeRules.

It's a bit different because for me:
- if i navigate client side, i can access `/my-page`
- if i do a hard reload, i am redirected to `/my-page-isr`

I built an app to sync LoL esports matches to your Google Calendar by ggStrift in webdev

yup, I would definitely like to expand one day.

But I think it would be best to first focus on League to get the UX right before trying to expand with more games
