Yeah. Me too, it's been seamless for me. Running syncthing on a tiny home server means that for whichever device I'm using, there's something else there for my current device to sync to. Changes get synced after you pause typing for 10 seconds.

Don't know if youre about to mention this. With MacGPT and an OpenAI API Key, you can write a prompt directly into obsidian and also get the response directly to obsidian. Depending on your workflow, this can be amazing.

​@@cantisOne counterpoint: Getting that GPT output directly into your current screen can minimize workflow disruptions. You don't need to alt+tab between Chrome and Obsidian as much. The only real value this can add, however, is if you pare down that information and REWRITE it in your own words. Without rewriting the GPT response, you're absolutely right that it won't help to retain information.

Dataview: you can also use it to bring formulas in from other files. Example: I have one file for each group of formulas I’m using. They rely on several document variables and one imported variable (the calculation). That way I just need to have the values in the frontmatter, read the variable value from the formula document and that’s it. Each time I use the new variable in the document, I get the calculated result. Also works with in-document variables, you just have to prep your formulas accordingly. So you only need to write (and modify) a formula once and keep using it on a whole lot of documents.

long time user of Obsidian here, these are some great plugins, thank you for sharing!

Project looks very interesting, and may allow me to use my project key words very flexibly. For example, every project item (note, document, drawing, image, model) will relate to a project activity, a work-breakdown item, a project element, a material, a location, a specification reference. I could use these as meta data and queries about particular project components would be really quick.

really great video, nice job explaining the different plugins. I'll test these in my workflow.

Dataview is what convinced me to use obsidian. It pretty much replaced my todo app and notion setup. When I create a document in obsidian I include tasks I need to preform for this document. With dataview I've created a canvas which aggregates all the tasks from thes documents which provides me a total overview of what needs to be done. No more elaborate explainations in a tasks to remind me what I was thinking about. Clicking on the tasks brings me to the relevant context.

There's a more suitable plugin to do this, called Checklists, it aggregates checklists from all notes into one list.

I think, you should look into ZK and ZK-NVIM as well. I'm using it when working from terminal (mostly). And sometimes I'm firing up Obsidian on top of the same notes. They booth are "compatible".

Didn't know what obsidian was before this video. I'm very impressed, it's so cool!!

Seems people using syc programs to sync folders from main computer into devices, but that doesn't work for me since i got GBs of all sort of files on my google drive folder tree (that i would like start converting .txt into .md), including videos, books etc.. so syncing all is nono. Also not interested in splitting and moving out .md files/images out of current folder tree ss i rather have all type of files in same folder tree. Any suggestions? i tried couple android apps, but most don't connect or able to open .md files in google drive, and the ones supporting google drive are basic and missing .md things like check boxes etc.

Hello Cristian Lempa. I want to use the Obsidian application for my engineering education. Although I tried with a clipper and a chrome md text download plugin, I couldn't do exactly what I wanted. When I uploaded the mathematics codes prepared for mathematics students into the application in md format, I saw that mathematical expressions in many subjects such as fraction lines in rational expressions, rooted numbers, exponential expressions of numbers, limits, derivatives, integrals could not occur smoothly as they appear on the site. If there is a solution that I can note all the expressions on the page in the same way, please help me. By the way, there is no copyright infringement.
