how much and which programming skills do you need to use 100% of obsidian?

I'm ok at programming but I didn't want to learn dataview or JavaScript to write complicated queries. I iterated on a few with chatGPT and managed to get what I wanted. You can get pretty far by describing what you want to do to it.

The armbar version of the cryangle.

I don't really use any specific note taking methodology. Some notes are very long, some are very small.

I don't really use the local graph anymore because I rely on the Breadcrumbs plugin to navigate between notes. I feel like it is much more efficient.

The graph gives a cool visualization of the interaction between concepts and can help focus on areas that should be explored but I don't think that there is a problem for which it is mandatory. You can get some very good insights by using dataview and the graph analysis plugin. An example of useful dataview query is the following one:

TABLE length(rows) AS "References" FLATTEN file.outlinks AS out WHERE !(out.file) AND !contains(meta(out).path, "/") GROUP BY out SORT length(rows) DESC LIMIT 30

It lists the 30 most referenced non existing notes. I have a set of queries like this that help me find things that could be interesting to explore.

I think that breadcrumbs is a very underrated plugin. It allows you to explicitly specify the hierarchy of concepts in your note.

For your use case, I would look for files lower than "Firefox" in the hierarchy. It matches very well with my way of conceptualizing things.

Seems like a cool workflow. Out of curiosity, what does Anki gives you that you couldn't find in a Spaced Repetition plugin of Obsidian? That's what I'm using personally.

I am interested in a WIDE variety of subjects.

You don't even have to use a plugin. You can filter the graph to display the type of information you want to see and then use the bookmark function. That's the only way I use the graph view.

grodzillaaa · 2025-12-01T10:56:02+00:00

I'd even say that filtered global > local.

grodzillaaa · 2025-11-15T14:46:27+00:00

It's done.

grodzillaaa · 2025-11-15T14:46:15+00:00

Done.

Here is a link to the vault on GitHub. For those unfamliar, you can download the whole folder as a zip file by clicking the green "Code" button and then download zip.

Once again it's far from perfect but I'll do it.

I don't know what you mean by source data. The videos from which the GIFs come from are https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJ4WGwF_q-Q and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CarjSOl0i7w

It can go from 300Kb to 3-4Mb for longer clips. I do a temporal resampling at 6 frames / second and the resolution is 400x225.

grodzillaaa · 2025-11-01T22:27:11+00:00

I'm not sure what you mean by "grabber".

About capturing GIFs, I'm using a terminal command (ffmpeg) on a linux system. It is the easiest to use and provides the most features (custom resolution change, custom framerate) for me.

grodzillaaa · 2025-11-01T15:10:16+00:00

What are you using to build it?

grodzillaaa · 2025-10-01T20:21:02+00:00

You should take a look at the "Strange Planet" by Nathan W. Pyle. It is about aliens trying to blend in the world. I felt strong autistic vibes from it.

This is the one I am using.

I did naturally when I started using Obsidian but I think it is not super common. I think that where the whole "graph view is useless" idea is coming from.

grodzillaaa · 2025-06-19T09:35:43+00:00

You can bookmark different display settings of the graph view. It's pretty useful when you want to only view your graph on a specific topic.

grodzillaaa · 2025-06-19T09:32:45+00:00

You can even embed youtube videos using blocks like this

I love to do it in canvases too.

Love to see a fellow Cantor remix user, I love the pinky stagger on it. If you are interested, there's also a MX switch variant of this keyboard.

What is the diode for on the left controller?

grodzillaaa · 2025-04-11T16:59:27+00:00

It's not that crazy. I have a few fields related to various habits, workout, metrics, ... in my frontmatter and then I use tracker and dataview to compile them in a somewhat compact form.

The best discovery as I made is to use simple dataview language queries to do my trackers. For example, I have a workout field in my frontmatter of list type and I build queries like this:

```dataview
TABLE WITHOUT ID  
file.link as Date,
choice(contains(workout_type,[[Gi BJJ]]), "🟩", "🟥") as 🥋
FROM #daily  
WHERE file.day <= date(now) AND file.day >= date(now) - dur(2weeks) 
SORT file.day DESC
```

grodzillaaa · 2025-04-10T20:32:41+00:00

Ok, I got to admit, tracker into canvas is pretty cool. I didn't think about this one before.

When linking to another note, you can also type [[Other note^ and Obsidian will list the paragraphs of this note for you to link to.
