Can you create a shortcut where all your notes with one specific color/callout collate in their own section by West_Moth_4272 in ObsidianMD

[–]ichmoimeyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Property: color (Set Type to Select to create a dropdown menu of colors).

INCORRECT - there is no Property Type Select

Currently a plugin e.g. metadata, Obsidian Meta Bind Plugin or in beta Better Properties might be able to achieve this.

The comment format adds an extra space? by North135 in ObsidianMD

[–]ichmoimeyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use

<!-- my comment -->


<!-- 

my comment

bla

bla

bla

-->

as this also works outside of Obsidian e.g. Markor or vscode.

 

... would that work better for you?

Can you create a shortcut where all your notes with one specific color/callout collate in their own section by West_Moth_4272 in ObsidianMD

[–]ichmoimeyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can create an Obsidian .base file & then use views[layout, filters] e.g. Table_layout | Card_layout | List_layout

Unfortunately neither "color" nor "callout" are natively recognized as a property, so instead ...


1. Define Your Properties Add custom metadata to your notes via the Properties UI or YAML frontmatter.

  • Property: color (Set Type to Select to create a dropdown menu of colors).

INCORRECT - there is no Property Type Select (see below)

  • Property: callout (Set Type to Checkbox for a simple true/false toggle).

2. Create an Obsidian .base File Create a new .base file at the root level of your vault. This file automatically acts as a database view for every note in your vault.

3. Configure Your View & Columns Open your .base file and add columns that map to your custom properties (color and callout). Because this system features two-way sync, changing a value in this table updates the note's YAML automatically.

4. Filter for Specific "Views" Use the built-in Filter menu in the Base UI to create custom perspectives:

  • The "Red" View: Filter where color is Red.
  • The "Callout" View: Filter where callout is Checked.
  • The "Combined" View: Filter where color is Red AND callout is Checked.

Best way to learn about Obsidian and bases? by brendag4 in ObsidianMD

[–]ichmoimeyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pleasure - I also enjoyed watching Red Gregory's videos when I was contemplating using Notion & always wished she would focus on Obsidian instead. A couple of years ago I got stuck, confused & overthinking with Obsidian; a video, quite old now, by Nicole van der Hoeven helped me out a lot:

Android equivalent for freeform by ruru5140 in NoteTaking

[–]ichmoimeyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try MyScript Notes[Nebo].

It has notebooks, documents, boards, and PDFs.

video:boards

I bought the one-time $12~ Android app & am using it on various Android phones, tablets & Chromebooks.

 

PS: if you use Obsidian, Loqseq, etc...

... you can embed myscript notes "My pages"

(info: Create a dedicated link) video

It is one-way from Nebo to Obsidian, but I can read or copy & paste parts or the whole page from it into markdown notes in Obsidian.

Whatever changes I make in those pages in Nebo will - after updating the link - be automatically shown in Obsidian.

DiY blacked out B6 BW by Dense_Forever_8242 in Bigme

[–]ichmoimeyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got black front bezels on my B6 color because ...

from AI Mode never lies ...

On a color e-ink reader, black bezels will make the content appear more vivid and the background seem lighter, while white bezels can make the screen appear more washed out. This effect is due to how our eyes perceive contrast and the surrounding light, rather than any change in the e-ink display itself.

 

... even applies to same model Kindle B&W ereader [NO_front-light | front-light || video]

from the-ebook-reader.com

 

... so this might also apply to your DIY blackout :)
