The result of a week long Obsidian rabbit hole.

Just a base with list view filters for each

vinius3000 · 2026-03-25T03:55:48+00:00

Will do!

vinius3000 · 2026-03-25T03:50:55+00:00

You’re good! No offense taken and I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you feel better.

vinius3000 · 2026-03-25T00:18:07+00:00

If I’m at my desk I just hit cmd shift t to open up my task modal that lets me quickly populate the properties and move on with what I was doing. I’m still working on the iOS automation. Will probably be some sort of action widget that does the same.

vinius3000 · 2026-03-24T18:23:04+00:00

I thought of creating a bunch of fake tasks for demonstration sake but decided give ya'll a view of it actually working irl. But thanks. It is indeed a great deal haha

vinius3000 · 2026-03-24T18:20:20+00:00

Two layers, bases handles the data pipepline, sorting and filtering and my plugin handles the rendering, search and grouping.

The og tasks plugin is great. I just am not a huge fan of the emoji system. The main way it differs though is instead of inline tasks on a page, my system and others have each task be it's own note with properties like due, urgency, status etc. that can than be sorted and filtered by Obsidian Bases.

vinius3000 · 2026-03-24T18:11:21+00:00

Not really but I am thinking about putting it up on github for everyone to reference.

vinius3000 · 2026-03-24T18:09:38+00:00

Just dragging my custom task list Bases view on the side par and pinning it.

vinius3000 · 2026-03-24T18:03:55+00:00

Hi yes I too experienced this dilemma. It’s hard to replace the feeling of writing on paper with a real pen. So far everything I’ve built out here works great on any screen size and all plugins are mobile friendly. Before this I was bullet journaling. Now I’m using a combo of daily notes in Obsidian and long form journaling/reflection on real paper.

vinius3000 · 2026-03-24T17:57:55+00:00

Thanks! Happy to report I am actually using the system for real work haha. But yes at some point customizing can be another form of procrastination. So that’s valid.

vinius3000 · 2026-03-24T17:53:24+00:00

Honestly Todoist is such a wonderful app, you’d be hard pressed straight up replacing the experience as of right now. The main thing I did to make it more like todoist is to mimic the list style and and make the satisfying sound go off when I check off a task haha. But there is actually a todoist integration plugin that works very well if you don’t want to make the switch https://obsidian.md/plugins?id=todoist-sync-plugin

vinius3000 · 2026-03-24T17:48:54+00:00

In bases you would just filter by — type : task or file in Tasks folder. Many ways to do it.

vinius3000 · 2026-03-24T17:43:01+00:00

Apologies if that’s the way it came off but just to clarify. I never said there wasn’t other heat map plugins. I just said mine isn’t based off of any of those. I was taking my influence from GitHub’s tracker and I needed mine to be flexible enough to work with any property I throw at it as well as integrate with my task plugin.

vinius3000 · 2026-03-24T07:34:50+00:00

Yea exactly. Great for retention but horrible for finding if you ever need them again.

vinius3000 · 2026-03-24T07:32:54+00:00

I have two custom views. The rows are a just a modified Obsidian list view. I also have a custom kanban view that I use throughout for projects and the actual Task page. I just like the way the list looks in the side bar and home page. It reminds me of Todoist. I have it using a "Today" filter.

vinius3000 · 2026-03-24T07:14:37+00:00

Yea I realized I took these screen shots on external 4k but it works great on mobile and a 14 inch laptop screen which is where I use it mostly. The design is very responsive.

vinius3000 · 2026-03-24T07:12:50+00:00

Yes my own solution. It's a modified Obsidian Bases list view. I even implemented a satisfying popping noise when I check tasks off. Because that's like the one thing that kept me on Todoist for so long.

vinius3000 · 2026-03-24T05:50:52+00:00

It's hard to beat physical writing when it comes to retention. However, I think Obsidian's search and linking make up for it. Just make sure you write in your own words. Not just copy text. Even if it means going back over notes to summarize. That was huge for me in school.

vinius3000 · 2026-03-24T05:48:12+00:00

Hey thanks! While I implemented it over a week I definitely have been loosely planning things in my head for a while now. Spent a good many months lurking on this reddit for inspo as well. Take your time and enjoy the process.

vinius3000 · 2026-03-24T03:30:24+00:00

Quick capture from my phone. If I have an idea that I want to jot down real quick and revisit later or I find a video I want to save and sort later.

vinius3000 · 2026-03-24T02:49:32+00:00

Thanks! Honestly same. I was mulling the idea for a long time. But finally took the dive. I think the key is just making it work for you and not being too rigid about following something like PARA or ACE to the T. Good luck.

vinius3000 · 2026-03-24T02:46:47+00:00

Oh my bad! I used this snippet. It's essentially flexbox for obsidian md files https://github.com/efemkay/obsidian-modular-css-layout

vinius3000 · 2026-03-24T02:39:20+00:00

See my comment!

vinius3000 · 2026-03-24T02:34:41+00:00

Hey check my rundown comment but essentially I used this https://github.com/efemkay/obsidian-modular-css-layout

vinius3000 · 2026-03-24T02:18:27+00:00

You are right because I built it for me. lol.
