I’ve created a bunch of dashboards in #Obsidian using #DataView Tables to help with cataloguing photography and audio recordings for personal research? I don’t know what the end goal is, but I’m having fun tinkering.

Ahora mismo uso una plantillita para cada uno de los días, algo muy sencillo. En el alt está lo que tiene dentro. Tengo un enlace al cuaderno de bitácora que está vació (solo recibe un montón de enlaces) y tengo una query que monté una vez con #dataview y ya me olvidé.

Suelo poner los objetivos de lo que quiero hacer ese día (lo consiga o no) y las cosas que voy avanzando o notas relevantes que he hecho ese día.

@ecomba @techlifeweb It's funny, a few months ago I came up with the term "Obsidiots" to represent people who over-use the app. I proudly think of myself as one of them - despite not overusing it *yet*. One day I'm sure I will - that day will no doubt be the same day that I sit down and truly force myself into the deep end with #Dataview.

Я очень жду нового функционала #Bases в #Obsidian, но вдруг поняла, что всё равно не смогу использовать их на рабочем компьютере, потому что он застрял на Windows 8 и не сможет обновить Обсидиан до 1.9.
Думаю, не написать ли плагин, который будет брать синтаксис встроенных баз и рендерить их как таблицы #Dataview. Тогда я смогу использовать Bases дома и Dataview на работе, без необходимости создавать отдельные файлы.

@aldi80s A few of my favourite tools in #Obsidian are:
- The Journal plugin for making a new note every day. This can help greatly getting into the flow of entering things.
- Note Refactor plugin: To split out headings to their own notes, or to merge notes together
- #DataView plugin to quickly list notes with certain attributes (e.g. all movies above 90 min length that I watched for more than 50%). Some of this is now covered by the new "bases" feature.

It's funny — at first, the new #Bases in #Obsidian didn't seem all that useful to me, basically just a replacement for #Dataview. But over the past three days, I've been rewriting more and more of my Dataview queries using bases, and I'm really starting to like it.

@thomas_mathoi Gerade noch rechtzeitig! Ich war schon kurz davor, Join Tables mittels einer Sammlung von einzelnen Notes und #DataView zu emulieren 😅

Sometimes, figuring stuff out for myself in #ObsidianMD when using #dataview and #dataviewJS is super rewarding. Other times I just want to bonk my head against the desk repeatedly whilst chanting "I'm a numpty. I'm a numpty. I'm a numpty"

Today the numpty chant was brought on by simply trying tp sort a list of sections (each section heading is the name of one of the NPCs in my #dnd campaign planning vault) into alphabetic order.

Took me way too long to figure out and was litterally fixed by adding one word to my query.

Oh well, at least my NPC overview file is useable now.

I need a drink.

Si comme moi vous utilisez le pouvoir #Obsidian #Dataview, voici un fichier markdown à sauvegarder pour avoir toujours sous la main toute la syntaxe à utiliser pour vos filtres et vues Dataview :

https://github.com/seburbandev/obsidian-dataview-cheatsheet

everyone says install #dataview. you ask them what data inside #obsidianmd theyre trying to view and they dont have an answer. it turns out they havent written any notes yet.

I’m figuring out #ObsidianMD more and more but I’m finding there’s enough “extra work” for every meeting that I’m in that I’m not as consistent with taking notes as I was before.

Old flow:

• open Apple Notes
• new note for every meeting
• no fixed format. Mostly a bunch of bullet points. Usually was good at keeping names and dates.
• discovery of past insights was not good. Capturing of action items and decisions was not effective.
• But I was brain dumping enough into my notes that, given some time, I could eventually find most important things.

New flow:

• open Obsidian
• navigate to meeting notes folder and start a new note (Templater automatically gives me meeting-specific frontmatter template as well as a meeting notes specific body, which includes some handy #dataview sections to pull forward context from previous meetings in the same series.
• try to find time during the meeting to fill in the front matter fields. I’m #ActuallyAutistic & #ADHD and find it really challenging to both engage in the meeting AND fill out my meeting notes frontmatter.
• I try to capture in front matter a lot of the kind of data I want to be able to pull forward in Dataview elsewhere. So I keep things like who attended, who was absent. I try to keep major decisions there, and action items (I’m not yet consistent at this).
• Free form brain dumping still happens in the body of the note.
• If I have time, I’ll pull the whole note (frontmatter + body) into #Copilot / #Ollama (locally hosted #AI) and ask for a two sentence summary, which I then will edit/correct/improve and add back to the note’s front matter in the summary: attribute. This really helps to enrich a Dataview summary of all of my new notes created that day in the day’s Daily Note.
• Any reference to named people gets hard linked like [[Alice Brown]]. I do maintain a person note for each person I work closely with that has some metadata about them like preferred contact methods, location, timezone, supervisor, direct reports, etc. And there are Dataview queries in the person note template to summarize context of recent interactions, decisions made with them, action items associated with them (I’m in a senior supervisory role so there’s a lot of delegation to keep track of).

I need to keep working at it and figure out how to make lighter work out of keeping good meeting notes while at the same time getting the benefits out of Obsidian that I moved over for in the first place.

My work hours are very calendar/meeting centric. It’s part of being in a senior leadership role. So most of my work-related notes are currently meeting related notes.

What I’d like to do more of: I’m holding too much in my head about strategy and inputs to the strategy. This has made me a bottleneck in my own organization, where the managers under me that I’d like to empower with a greater sense of agency feel compelled to consult me for decisions they make because they aren’t holding onto enough of the big picture that I am. I’d really like to do a better job of making what’s in my head accessible, searchable, discoverable.

I don’t imagine this will mean giving anyone access to my Obsidian notes. Looking through the Tiago Forte lens, thinking of his CODE method, I really need to get more intentional and consistent about Capturing, Organizing, Distilling, and Expressing my thoughts.

At work, “Expression” would probably look like some combination of Confluence articles, staff meeting updates with memo/presentation artifacts to refer back to, “fireside chat”videos posted to our Slack and saved on our Google Drive with discoverable metadata, etc.

I’m in the classic bootstrapping paradox where I don’t have the time to do what I need so here because I haven’t done it yet. 😂 Only I can break that cycle, and I will.

Obsidian: Типы данных

Этой статьей я хотел бы начать серию обучающих материалов, в которой поделюсь всем, что мне известно про редактирование текста и организацию работы в Obsidian и с Markdown файлами. Покажу интересные способы использования markdown заметок для решения разных задач.

For the record, #ChatGPT really sucks at #Dataview assistance. #ObsidianMD #PKM

Help, people from #obsidian that know a bit of #dataview. I'm trying to make a query that finds papers (those are notes with a tag that says paper) that are from different countries. But countries are a field in the institution, a note that is linked from the paper. How can I do this kind of thing?

Thanks in advance. #fediTips #fediHelp

Pues nada, no soy capaz de encadenar cosas con #dataview de #obsidian. Lo que quiero intentar hacer es buscar los papers cuya institución sea de un país concreto. (el paper es una nota, la institución está enlazada en el paper y el país es una característica de la institución)

@torstenmaterna Nutze für meine Notizen auch #obsidian . Habe einen zweiten Vault wo ich meine Dokumente (meinst PDF) im Dateisystem eingebunden habe. Lässt sich dann mit dem #Dataview -Plugin super drüber suchen. Wofür nutzt du es Hauptsächlich. Auch Projektverwaltung?

Bueno, esta noche con el #dataview de #obsidian he podido avanzar algo. De momento he conseguido hacer una query donde me cuenta de cuántos países diferentes son las universidades de las cuales recojo papers (ahora bien, me quedaría estar un rato actualizando notas)
