🌲Stop Feeling Guilty — Rebrand your TBR List
A pile of things "to be read" is a to-do list of low-priority items most of us will never get to. That doesn't mean they're useless.
🌠 Pin Preview Popups & an Intro to Dataview Guide
Tags, glossaries, & beginner-friendly classification methods.
🌠 Dashboards, Dataview Tips, & global publish graphs
A new GPT-3 plugin for generating text, support for Microsoft Document Syntax style admonition blocks, and "live preview" inside search panels.
🌠 Documentation efforts, Mobile Live Preview, & Improved Startup Time
Ganessh Kumar built a mindblowly good way to navigate plugins, so hopefully developers will take advantage of the features it offers and write good release notes ;)
🌲 How I view my role in the Obsidian Community
I'm reluctant to focus my energy on educational materials because I think the liaison work I do is important... albeit less visible and less lucrative.
🌠 Improved Calendars & Embedded Searches
There's a new proof of concept plugin for collaborative live editing, and other plugins looking for new maintainers & assistant. Plus other updates for devs.
🌲 The Value of Consistent Naming Conventions
Naming conventions are a key organizational method — and I don't just mean numbers or unusual symbols like ! and }.
🌠 Open Notes in a New Window, Improved iPad sketch support, & Dockable Settings
Easily share one-off notes & code, automatic note moving, & no-code supercharged linked. Plus, migration tips & use-case discussions.
🌠 Better Android performance & custom sorting of files
Themes with built-in color schemes! Plus, it's now easier to debug mobile plugins, QuickAdd has mobile support, and clouds of frequently-used words.
🌲 Obsidian is my Thinking Environment not my Second Brain
Obsidian is modeled on integrated development environments like Visual Studio Code, not neuroscience, and I prefer it that way.
