There were a lot of plugins I mentioned in this video, and rather than keeping you on the hook for the whole video, I added timestamps for every single one, so feel free to skip around! If you'd like to learn more about each one, here's a list of my notes on the plugins, along with some videos I've made on them: notes.nicolevanderhoeven.com/Obsidian+plugins+I+use The theme I used is AnuPpuccin: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aWGHsdmxoL23fqw.html

Is there any plugin to autocorrect the syntax error in a markdown file, sometimes i get error and then i am not able to view it in a live preview mode? I am using Linter but sometime it also not able to find the error properly.

11:41 Using something called "fantasy calendar" for my own content creation schedule would actually be very appropriate for me 😩

❤ thank you for the shout for BRAT and SNW! Also you are right, I did a lot of performance enhancements to SNW. It is worth trying to see if it runners better for you. Though no promises 😅

Copy button for code blocks is a default feature now. I just started using obsidian and have always had that feature without a plug-in.

Same with syntax highlighting, I think these two plugins are redundant.

Just wanna take a moment and thank you for your tutorials on your channel. I've been interested in this app for a few weeks and haven't really begun to scratch the surface. All of this is a big help, thank you. 🙏😊

Thanks for taking the time to make these videos, greatly appreciated! I always worry about overloading Obsidian, but ths confirms to me that everything will be alright!

Amazing video as always, Nicole!

Thank you, this was super useful!

I just started using Obsidian last week, it's not got a lot in it but I can see myself sticking with it and getting a lot of use out of it

Thank you, saved us hours.

Thank you!

thanks this is great

Hello, first of all thank you for all your videos on Obsidian and its various features and plugins. Your content really helps me in working with Obsidian! I have seen that (around 5:20) you are using some kind of 2 dimensional grid layout of cards with filename, image and some summary. I am really interested in having a view like this too, can you maybe explain how you achieved this layout? I assume that you've used Dataview and maybe CSS in some way, but other than that I really have no idea and would greatly appreciate some explanation. Thank you very much!

What plugin do you use to render markdown in the backlinks?

I really like the idea of adding plugins to projects. Are there any good plugins that integrate into projects?

Hi, thanks for your sharing. I wish to know how to make this yaml style? Use css or plugin? How to do it?

Love your videos. I do wonder though about you saying Projects not having a drag and drop Kanban board. I use Projects and in board view I have the ability to drag and drop cards from one column to another.

Great video! How do you get the "Add property" button at 13:56?

@nicolevdh i have a question, you have a propriety in your notes, a date one, where you put some of your date changelog note, who do you do it?

Thanks Nicole. I just discovered a recently independently created IcalObsidianSync plugin to sync Apple calendar with Obsidian calendar that also does natural language processing locally. (Google calendar sync is apparently coming also). I don't know the developer, I' not promoting anything here but it looks simple yet very promising.

Hi Nicole, as a daily Obsidian user to capture thoughts, I want to be presented with a New Note option when I press and hold the app icon in my phone as the phone option represents 50% of my use. What would you suggest as the best way to convey this use case to be considered for future versions? Many thanks in advance Nicole.

Hii. Great video. One question, you say you no longer use obsidian for task management. Could you tell use what do you use now? Thanks :) saludos desde México

I'm so glad to see that my etherpad integration plugin made your list! I'm not a patreon subscriber, but is there any way I can check out your video on it?

Hi Nicole ! Thank you so much for sharing ! I (re)discovered some of the plugins that you use with great pleasure ! One thing that got me wondering though, is that I can't seem to find the plugin / method that you are using to manage the properties of your notes. In the note that you are showing for some of the demonstrations, there seems to be a more user friendly way to add and manage the note's properties than the old-fashioned YAML typing way. Have I missed something ? Thanks again ! Cheers, J

Better YAML frontmatter in Obsidian

Do you use the ttrpg plugin? It was great for a couple of weeks the first time but then it broke requiring me to rebuild the campaign. A couple of weeks later that one broke again to. So I’ve had no luck

Thank you very much! In my opinion, you spent just enough time explaining each plugin and referring to your other videos when relevant! How do you feel on making a video like this on a schedule (once or twice a year)? I think it would be useful for new people like me to get a brief overview of part of the current plugin landscape, as well as being interesting for yourself and long-time viewers to see how your personal plugin selection changes over time.

Which plugin gives you the line numbers on the editing mode? That is a feature im missing from code editors lol

I like Vault Changelog. Love and light.

Hey, I think the Outliner features are a default now. I have hotkeys for the 'move line up' and 'move line down', there are vertical lines that track which level you're at, and I can toggle the lists independently. I don't have the Outliner plugin. ;)

Yes I have indent buttons on mobile, these I use. I think I saw the up and down line buttons as well, I don't use them. One problem I have is in the outline overview: the levels can't collapse, in order to drill down. This would be very handy. Similar as in the explorer pane.😊

@@egroegknimmij3169 For the outline overview, I use Quiet Outline, which you can collapse, click-and-drop to reorganize, set up how many levels you want to see as default (H1, H2, H3, etc), it automatically shows you were you are as you move in the note, and it has colors to differentiate the levels. Very nifty. :)

I genuinely can't believe that table formatting doesn't come out of the box. It's my ONLY gripe with obsidian

With supercharged links, how did you get it to put the icon in there? All I can get it to do is recolor the link based on the tag.

And all community plug-in - no CORE plugins... Bookmarks, Canvas, etc. Great list and good to see the reduction as you went. Workspaces... core but sufficiently high management and effects much of what how and when - I feel was missing... just a little. Tags - which 'we' all know you don't use, but... ... still haven't 'converted' all my stages into links or front matter - yet... work in progress. Zotero add-ins... still there but niche-ish I suppose. And still playing with 'Strange New Worlds' to see where that will take me... expanding the 'links' function. both in terms of seeing clusters and gaps - but also basic navigation between notes, etc. So thanks again for these vids. excellent content.

Instead of 'Vault Changelog' I use 'Recent Files", quick and clean.

"Supercharged Links" as an Add-in - is moving to a more front matter format plug-in as 'metadatamenu' worth waiting a bit maybe...

Thanks for the 'snapshot'. I too go through and delete ones I know I no longer use or need. As for installing new ones, that happens if I find I have a particular need. For Omnisearch, I highly recommend it to anyone coming from an Evernote type background. The ability to find words in photos or PDF documents is it's super power and I find I'm more willing to add PDF and photos to my vault because of having this plugin. Do you have a video on Workspaces? I'm intrigued by the concept but not sure what I'd use it for at present because my main use of Obsidian has been strictly for writing.

I kind of think the recently upgraded bookmark feature replaces the need for workspaces. You can now bookmark anything and place it under bookmark folders(workspaces). I would be happy if anyone could enlighten me to the advantages of using workspaces.

Hmmm, do you mean, like Omnisearch? I would love to hear your use case and what you'd use it for. I wasn't entirely sure what the appeal was over the basic search functionality.

Thanks for the overview! Definitely some plugins I wanna check out (List Callouts, Supercharged Links, Spaced Repetition). Being able to get a character count when you highlight something should be a core feature IMO. I use mobile a lot and there's nothing like this that works on mobile. (If I pull the sidebar out, text un-highlights.) I have to keep a separate app and then copy/paste text a lot.

Very good point about AI plug-ins (I don’t use AI at all)… One of the main ‘selling points’ about Obsidian is that it is YOUR data stored on YOUR machine - AI would seem to defeat this principle. I notice you’re not using Calendar by Liam Cain - is this a change of tack or am I mistaken in thinking you once used it…?

One option would be to run a local LLM, though they aren't as good as OpenAI's stuff, and they require quite a beefy GPU with a lot of VRAM. E.g. a 13 billion parameter model requires 16GB when it's 8 bit quantized. For comparison GPT-3 is around 175 billion parameters, and according to leaked documents, GPT-4 is around 10 times larger. At least with locally installed LLMs no data ever leaves your computer.

There are two plugins I'm aware of - Obsidian Columns and Multi-Column Markdown. But I remember that one of them wasn't displaying excalidraw files properly, and the other one wasn't working well with the Google calendar plugin... so yeah, I ended up mostly using the "Modular CSS Layout" snippets which don't have the issues, and I assume should not break if not maintained, unlike plugins.

4:22 But then you have no chance for Jester-style absolutely unhinged Sendings 😂

Is it possible to separate out TTRPG related content from general content? Maybe you can segment your videos to start with general content and talk about TTRPG ones at the end? I'm guessing a large amount of your subscribers don't deal with TTRPG and are here for Obsidian content (I might be wrong here)? Genuine feedback, not trying to trivialize the effort you are putting into your videos.
