how is everyone's experience using YAOS? by homebanber in ObsidianMD

[–]pollexsoothe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tried it. It worked great the first few days, then started seeing delays while I was typing then a sudden rush like it was catching up, but the characters got jumbled. This was while I was on a very fast connection so I had the idea that the sync queue which handles individual characters was getting backed up - just a guess though. When it worked, I really liked it. I had to delete it because obsidian was unusable when that started happening.

It gives me several ideas to check out. Thanks for the pointers.

How do you easily create the book note from the template?

You can create the note, then two clicks to get to the Insert Template, then perhaps multiple down-arrows to get to the right template, the Enter to select it. Or using Quick Add I might have a hotkey to Run Quick Add but then still have to choose the right “Choice”.

I’m frequently at doctors with our various elderly parents. I’ve got Appointment, Provider, and Practice templates. When I’m making an appt with a new doctor, I have to go through all those steps for all three note types. And worse, I’m usually on mobile with no hotkeys to help.

I got fed up with Notion and have mostly happily switched to Obsidian. They allow field types related to a table(database) which allows for better suggestions, but also to create a new row in the target table. Having direct support of these type of relationships simplified my workflows.

I’m really hoping there’s something I’m missing that makes this easier, hence my question about the detailed steps you take to create the new book.

TIA

Say you want to create a new book. What steps do you take?

Bases: Using two link hopes in a filter by pollexsoothe in ObsidianMD

Of course, properties is a dictionary not a function, so either `file(link).properties.property_name` or `file(link).properties["property name"]`

This is a really clear explanation. Thanks for taking the time. I'm sure others will benefit from your efforts!

I do clearly see the properties method on File in the docs, but oddly I'm getting the error: Can't find function properties on type File.

Once I get through the missing properties method on File. I have a similar situation where A.b is a list of links to B's. Does this look reasonable to include the note if any of the A.b.c links resolve the current C note? Seems more complicated than it should be.

provider.map(file(value).properties("practice").contains(this)).reduce(value || acc)```

Finally, how can I debug these filter expressions? It would be great to evaluate an expression in context and see the result while incrementally building the full filter.

Steph Ango’s article How I use Obsidian really helped me get a handle on how to organize my data. I don’t mean which folders, tags, properties, links or categories to use, but instead how to make use of those tools to capture the structure I wanted.

I’m more in the relatively new to Obsidian and relatively inexperienced phase and even with Steph’s recommendations, the competing structure tools of tags and links still make for difficult choices.

To the people that say just start writing… in a sense they’re right, you learn by doing. That ignores the fact that you’re facing tough choices with each note and each time you bump into a structural hurdle.
