This should not be titled obsidian set up, but more of a review of previous information. There’s no explanation as to how you are getting things to highlight differently only because I’m mildly familiar with Obsidian was able to figure out a couple of things. This is way too advanced to call it for beginners.

Just a random person stopping by to say thanks for making this. You’ve gotten me really excited about Obsidian and I appreciate you laying everything out so clearly.

Yay!!! Thanks for watching PJZ and for sharing that with me ☺️

Hi Vicky, I just recently learned about Obsidian and decided to take the plunge. After jumping into it, I immediately got overwhelmed/lost. Your videos have been AMAZING for distilling/clarifying/simplifying the whole thing. I've tried other sources, but you have a real skill for offering the critical bits in a very clear and concise manner that both helps me: learn what I wanted to; and also saves me time compared to other resources. Thanks for your work!

I've been trying to figure Obsidian for the last few days and your first video is the first one that actually helps! I almost gave up because it seemed so complicated before! Side note for anyone else following along, the hotkey for checkboxes has been changed to ctrl/cmd + L

Thank you. I wondered why CTRL + ENTER wasn't working.

I've tried watching several otherwise really good tutorials, but none of them explained, what the vault even is and what you should or shouldn't do to it. And as someone, who knows for fact each note-taking app has major hidden stones (sometimes it's backup/restore/sync, sometimes notes structure, sometimes location etc), I simply couldn't go on without. Messing up this core thing in question can cost you a lot of time, headache and potentially some important notes, that may end up being lost or corrupted. So I'm really grateful, I finally found someone, who is approaching Obsidian from that angle, instead of starting on all of the possibilities and features. Now I can proceed at ease.

After watching 10 videos with step by step guide, your video is the only one i would recommend to someone. Great content! Thank you very much)

I’m just learning obsidian (trying to ditch Evernote). You’ve probably got the best vids. Tnx. I do wish obsidian KZreadrs would think about how poorly the links between notes display to viewers. Thicken up those lines.

THANK YOU so much for making Obsidian so easily understandable and less scary for beginners like me who want to delve into it. You are by far the best video tutorial out there!

Thank you!!! Finally I understood something!😭 There was a moment of frustration because I needed to transfer it to pad version of the ap but I forced through! After that was like "oh it's like that" and "so this is that" and "yeay! I understood it"😄 So thank you! Best of luck and best of this life!!❤

Ok so, this is the absolute BEST tutorial for obsidian. Thank you so much for getting into the most basic things to know about Obsidian without putting so much fluff to the explanations, you made it super simple and concise. I was able to practice and follow along each step. Obsidian can get complicated if you don’t know how to use it, but you made it so easy to follow along and understand it, THANK YOU!!!

An excellent explanation on getting started with Obsidian. I purchased two other courses on Obsidian but I got more straight forward instruction that I could apply right away from your video that would have taken me more time to learn from the courses I bought. I echo what Sotov said about your video being the goto for starting with Obsidian. New subscriber to your channel and newsletter. :)

Thank you, Vicky, for putting together this quick start guide for Obsidian, as well as your video explaining the Zettlekasten method. This is an invaluable resource. I wrote a doctoral dissertation about 25 years ago and it was all index cards, file folders and a poor system for linking the ideas between them. Had I had a system like this it would have sped up completion time by a few years. I've been unmotivated to share my thinking over the last decade as the internet and social media has exploded. But, the simplicity of this system has inspired me to start thinking and writing again.

I feel less like a noob now! this is an amazing tutorial which covers the fundamental basics of Obsidian - some things have changed though such as names of plugins (bookmarks instead of starred) and the check box function is ctrl + L for windows not ctrl + enter + enter. But I managed to figure out the subtle differences once I knew the function existed. Linking tabs is slightly different too, on windows at least, you need to open both notes side by side by dragging them(can do this with the same note twice) and right click one of the tabs and select "link with tab" which will then allow you to highlight the other note to synchronise scrolling.

Excellent - thank you!

Nice work. +1 For Chipmunk Voice. @9:34 I have found tags useful for ephemeral attribution, such as process steps.

I'd like to see a video about the actual usage of the information jn Obsidian. There are a lot of videos out there about how to fill Obsidian with notes. But I'd like to see the effect of Obsidian in action. Why is it important that notes are linked? How useful are backlinks? Is the graph view just fancy or also useful? If useful, in what way? What do I have to keep in mind when creating notes to get the most out of Obsidian (best practices)? Thanks for the great videos!
