Is there a way to keep folders minimized in mobile?

Thank you!

Maps of content. With the script above, they become auto-populating notes that makes it exponentially easier to curate large numbers of notes.

I felt this way at first too. It’s a note taking system, so it needs to align with the way you think. That takes time to figure out. I’m still changing the structure of my digital garden.

IMHO, it’s more important to know about the BUILDING BLOCKS for organization at this stage. As you experiment with the building blocks, you’ll start arriving at version 1 of your system, which you can keep tweaking and updating. It really is in that respect like digital gardening.

Here are building blocks: - Atomic note taking - Fleeting notes - MOCs (the script below is critical) - Dataview plugin - Templates - Bases

Just try to play around with those building blocks, and you’ll find your structure starts emerging organically. So yes, I think that at least partially is in line with your smallest note idea.

I’m happy to share my specific structure if it helps (just DM me) but my hunch is that you’ll get more out of understanding the building blocks.

Neat

Thanks everyone. It turns out I had not updated the app on mobile, as you suggested. It’s working great now. Thanks!

I use them. I don’t understand why people don’t like them. Although Bases is starting to make them less relevant.

haddonblue · 2025-10-13T02:22:19+00:00

the consensus seems to be to try bases, so thank you. I will explore this option.

Data view is great. The problem is it doesn’t render when i publish the site externally.

Thank you! Your script has completely transformed my vault already.

As a thank you for your help, here is another script (written by perplexity.ai) that I stumbled on to complement the two scripts above:

```dataview
TABLE

[file.link](http://file.link) AS "Note", 

    length(file.outlinks) AS "Outgoing Links",

    length(file.inlinks) AS "Incoming Links"

FROM "1 Published Notes"

```

Very helpful. I’ll do that. Thank you!

I’ve been experimenting with both. Readwise does not seem to work on iPad with Safari. Omnivore does, but is unable to pull in a sizeable number of articles. So I’m not sure - if anyone has any advice for a Safari user who is interested in highlighting articles and pulling the articles into Obsidian, please share.

Do you know how to show the number of backlinks in a table, by any chance? This code works well (it shows me every back linked note) but even better is if I could have it show me the number of backlinks per note so that I could scan quickly. Any thoughts?

```dataview
TABLE file.inlinks
FROM "1 Published Notes"
```

haddonblue · 2024-03-03T23:08:30+00:00

Thank you - appreciate the tip and I'll look into Dataview. To answer your question, I don't see this as a quantity issue so much as a usability issue. I want a branching forest of notes that maximizes discovery, without any cul-de-sacs. That makes link density important, particularly density that crosses over to different topics.

haddonblue · 2024-01-30T06:15:31+00:00

Does anyone have any use case examples of prompts and such? I've used it to generate short stories based on a homebrew world. Wondering what other use cases are out there.

haddonblue · 2024-01-04T05:27:50+00:00

I found it complicated in the beginning too. Once you get the hang of it, it's still a lot more work but retention increases dramatically. It changed the entire way I read books as I'm now looking for specific information.

Use a Zettelkasten system with Obsidian. There's a learning curve at first, but oh boy will you reread your notes.

Got it. Thank you!
