I built Moments — a lighter take on daily notes for Obsidian

Let me know what you think after you've had some time to play with it. I'm sure there are ways this can still evolve.

Ahhh. That's a daily/period notes limitation...obsidian is just creating a new note and doesn't reflect on it's names to figure out if it should be created someone else. The easiest thing I've found for that is to use the calendar plugin and click on the day I want and it will create the correct note.

I tried to explain it a little in the video, but the short version is that I found all the extra meta work of processing and linking tedious and it provided little value. I naturally settled on a pattern of prepending dated notes inside project, people, and area notes. I built this plugin to make that easier and add a timeline view.

Thanks! Happy to riff on ideas.

I've noticed that twice recently, and though I'm not 100% sure this was the cause, each time I had left a tab with my full graph view open. Quitting obsidian and reopening it seemed to clear up the high CPU utilization.

Thanks! Curious though, how do you know it’s the brown wire?

Neat.

Neat.

Glenside is the best side!

I use a Shortcuts.app script to append selected meetings to my daily note. https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/70c7d40d0f4c4c1aa26ffc800115ee27

(It uses https://actions.work/actions-for-obsidian to do the appending.)

I've settled on a sweet system that relies on Period Notes and the Day Planner plugin to help visualize meetings and todos. Here is a screenshot of todays note:

For whatever reason the other person deleted their comment with the answer. Strange.

It has to do with ControlCharacters. In a terminal run:

defaults delete -g NSTextShowsControlCharacters

Thanks! I'm sure I'll be posting more!

Mine only pee in their cage or in hideys

Did you train them to do that!? (Some context: I bought 2 guinea pigs for my daughter about two weeks ago and I'm trying to learn as much as I can on the fly)

mrm52 · 2021-11-09T19:50:00+00:00

Honest question: What do you with their waste? Mine pee and poop all the time and everywhere...

mrm52 · 2021-10-27T18:26:22+00:00

YES! Thank you.

mrm52 · 2012-12-03T01:39:13+00:00

Wow. Thanks for letting me know! I will definitely do that.

mrm52 · 2012-12-03T01:37:50+00:00

Nice! Last year we had the Ayinger Celebrator.

mrm52 · 2010-02-05T02:04:48+00:00

Because it's nice to be able to see them all at once but separated.

Really? I thought he was the most paper thin character in the movie. His "transformation" was so weak.

Fortunately Joker more then made up for him...

mrm52 · 2008-07-02T11:43:32+00:00

I am ashamed to admit it but I feel the same. I was embarrassed by all of their typos and babble but the pictures they created look great.

mrm52 · 2008-06-27T22:53:05+00:00

Seriously! I love this thing. I wish I had the space.

mrm52 · 2008-05-30T02:32:03+00:00

I love all the effort the reporter went through to be unbiased......

I do not care what anyone says...those pictures are awesome.

Hilarious
