There are several ways of applying default properties to new notes. My favorite methods are using the Linter plugin and Templater. What method do you use?

Having fun with Google Calendar events and #Obsidian meeting notes:
Automation:
- Sync in Apple Calendar
- Apple Shortcuts to export today's events (1 ICS file per event 
)
- Node script to merge events in one single ICS file
- Apache server to make ICS file available to HTTP clients
In Obsidian:
- “New note” in relevant folder
- Templater plugin choses the right template
- Templater script uses ICS plugin to get events, select the current…
#TIL #zola can link your notes / pages like a #zettelkasten note taking app. You just have to enable backlinks in config.toml.

A lot of times the #DigitalGarden scene seems dominated by developers. People who exist in in-between places like me feel a bit frustrated that the tools used - the static site generators - are so unfriendly to non-developer minds.
So, I'm glad that there are some folks who are building digital gardens on #wordpress.
I have plans to use #Obsidian and a plugin - probably either Quartz, Eveloppe or digital garden - to generate my static site one day, but this is a good workaround while I plan the possibly very complicated transition.
I did think about using #Astro but the mechanics of it seem so frightening lol
cc @jenxi I know you did it successfully, but I doubt I'd be able to execute half of what you did!

have not checked the news in over 24 hours and am afraid to ask, what did i miss. blame it on #obsidian. am kinda obsessed now.
New blogpost about #Obsidian as a digital community archiving tool.
I describe a collaborative way to record information, in an intuitive text format (markdown) and live visualization as a network graph:
- NextCloud comes with a range of options like chats, video calls, calendar, mail, files
- Search engines: A mix of Ecosia and Startpage;
- Plausible for web analytics;
- Brevo for email marketing and newsletters;
- Browser: Vivaldi; highly customisable;
- Forms: Tally
- Ellipsus for collaborative writing and editing;
- Note taking and knowledge management: Obsidian.

An SSD failed in my media server today. In case you are curious this is how I keep track of what I did, when, and why to my fleet of machines.
The backlinking in Obsidian is crucial for this format to work.
Finally got around to writing my experience report on getting rid of a separate task manager app (OmniFocus) in favor of managing to-dos as part of my #Obsidian notes.

Found out about the Digital Garden plugin and now I am obsessed about getting my site up there
Somehow my #obsidian mobile sync got disconnected and didn't want to reconnect. I ended up removing the app and reinstalling, and then it worked again
Yes to Obsidian... I copied the exported Markdown files from Bear to a folder on the Linux laptop and can open & use all the notes just fine.
So the next idea would be to automate the process by scheduling the Mac to export all the files and move them to a volume that Obsidian can use as a vault.
The whole idea here being I can use Bear, but still access my notes while using Linux.
Ser ut til at #Etterretningstjenesten er en stor bruker av PKM appen #obsidian . Det står oppført med 25 lisenser på Obsidian Enterprise siden som eneste norske organisasjon
Why should we use #Obsidian as our self-hosted cloud for all our digital files? Is that even possible? Here is how and why I'm trying to do just that.

Are there plugins for #Obsidian that give you more control over where notes are saved? I might need to poke around.
I use the daily notes but just the out of the box option. I keep my consulting business notes in the same vault (one second brain approach), but don’t necessarily want detailed client notes in my daily note. My daily note I often put a brief “worked on this for client X, had a call with client Y” but don’t want details there.
I’d like to be able to create a new note from a link in either my daily note or homepage that opens a “daily note for clients” specific template with more properties aligned to tracking who or what the note is for AND have it saved somewhere other than where my daily notes get saved.
finally got #minio to work!! now I 'have' an S3-compatible object storage!!!
this allows me to use the #remotely-save plugin in #obsidian to sync notes without worrying about space limits and monthly operation limits
the funniest thing is that I tried to get minio to work a few months ago, but I was literally illiterate and didn't know how to read documentation, because it was all written there!!!
Mein Eindruck von der Tasks-Erweiterung in Obsidian: Optisch gewinnt es keinen Preis, es funktioniert ob der vorhandenen Möglichkeiten und die "Programmierung" ist für mich verständlich.
Ich könnte meine Aufgaben notfalls damit organisieren, wenn ich keinen Ersatz für die Apple Erinnerungen finde, der nicht US-Ursprungs ist. Derzeit nerven mich die Erinnerungen tierisch - z.B. der permanente Drang alle Daten immer umwandeln zu wollen und die völlig unpassenden Vorschläge für eine Liste.

I love the new built-in browser render in #obsidian, but hadn't considered the possibilities available using the stacked tab feature. Andy Matuschak originated the concept the feature is borrowed from, but this is next level.

One thing I forgot to add to the list of things I enjoy using Mac for lately is #Drafts. I really wish that, too, existed on the #Windows platform. For now, though, I just use #Simplenote - free, free syncing. Suppose I could use #Obsidian as well for the same purpose but I like small and efficient for small tasks - the same reason I own an #InstantPot but bought a 3 cup tiny little rice cooker just for cooking rice.
Anyway.
Daily notes, or One Big Text File? It's not an either-or; you can have both! Here's the intriguing case for multiple unique notes per day.
