So a friend of mine recommended Obsidian ages ago and I looked at it but thought I was happy using Joplin (another text-based note tool) which I still think is a great app. Took a brief look at it and thought it was just too complicated...

Then recently, I went down a youtube rabbit hole watching videos of how people use Obsidian... OMG 🤯

Now I have 2x Vaults, one for work and one personal. Dataview, templater, quickadd, periodic notes have just changed everything. Now I have documents for each person at work with their basic info and then when I make a meeting, I can just tag them which then updates a dataview table that shows what meetings I've been in with them.

Tasks allows me to just create a bunch of todos in random notes and then I can create a table to show all my undone tasks.

I mean, why did I wait so long? I've been using it for about 10 days now and it's been such a game changer. Sorry Joplin.

I just installed it, and obviously it looks pretty basic at the start. Any particularly useful tutorials that showcase how powerful it is? I don't need a beginner's step-by-step (have used Notion before), I just need the eureka moment(s).

Explore the plugins. My world changed when I set up templates using Templater.

Have a look through the catalogue and see what you can do

@platysalty @flynnguy @HidingCat Templater has very quickly become essential to me.
