Well, I've tossed a few hours into researching Obsidian Plugins and weird enough I fail at the simplest requirement:

I want a sidebar that I can fully customise.

Obsidion's Ribbon bar doesn't work as it's icons-only and bookmarks doesn't allow you to add plugin-views as bookmarks.

All I really want is a clean bar like the one in the following image - a set of fixed topics on top and a list of pinned notes on the bottom (and it should work that way on mobile too)

#ReflectNotes #obsidianmd #reflectApp #pkm #diypkm

Reflect Notes sidebar - a clean setup with a searchbox on top, then daily notes, all notes, tasks and "map" (a graph view). Below these defaults are all my pinned notes and that's it.

So..

I’ve been trying out #ReflectNotes recently and they seem like the almost perfect cross between #obsidianmd and #logseq with the weird bit of actually usable AI features sprinkled in (the kind that lets you summarise or transform your notes or do audio transcription).

While I really like Reflect I’m still in their free trail and I’m not sure I would be wanting to pay a billed-annually subscription for it even though it’s the only income for the company apparently.

So I’ve been wondering if I could gently hammer Obsidian to behave as close to Reflect, getting rid of UI clutter, etc.

So far I’m missing plugins that work together to provide these features (all need to work on desktop, iOS and iPad):

a “Calendar” to integrate with iCloud Calendar and pull events / allow me to add Tasks/Todos as events (Reflect doesn’t do the later yet either)
a good “Task” view that collects from all of my notes and lets me interact with them as well as seeing if a task is current/due/overdue
detailed Backlinks l, in Reflect Inliterally have empty Notes that are referenced all throughout my Daily Notes and their content is pretty much just everything pulled together from backlinks (I guess that could be done with data queries)
“the AI stuff”:
- apply a prompt to the currently selected text and replace it
- “chat with your search results”
in-app recording and transcription of audio notes

#reflectApp #pkm #diypkm

So, I have been using reflect.app for the past six days. I have posted a mini-review of the app on Medium.
The Reflect notes app is a serious contender against Obsidian.

@spinningthoughts @ednico @tana_inc @capacities @logseq So basically, my inner 8 year old self strikes again? 🤦🏾‍♀️ That's basically it. There are some really neat aspects to it, but I never even thought there was a way to import anything (maybe Roam files?) & I have never used Roam, so maybe I just ignored that part? There are some really compelling online capable apps like @reflectnotes @craftdocsapp @capacities and I think only #ReflectNotes and #CraftDocs have bulk markdown importing.
