So a friend of mine recommended Obsidian ages ago and I looked at it but thought I was happy using Joplin (another text-based note tool) which I still think is a great app. Took a brief look at it and thought it was just too complicated...

Then recently, I went down a youtube rabbit hole watching videos of how people use Obsidian... OMG ๐Ÿคฏ

Now I have 2x Vaults, one for work and one personal. Dataview, templater, quickadd, periodic notes have just changed everything. Now I have documents for each person at work with their basic info and then when I make a meeting, I can just tag them which then updates a dataview table that shows what meetings I've been in with them.

Tasks allows me to just create a bunch of todos in random notes and then I can create a table to show all my undone tasks.

I mean, why did I wait so long? I've been using it for about 10 days now and it's been such a game changer. Sorry Joplin.

Any particularly good videos you'd recommend?

No Boilerplate did a great video on Obsidian. It's what got me started using it!

Same. Saw obsidian pop up sometimes in lemmy/reddit/playstore and was wondering what it was

Oh boy

Not OP but I love FromSergio on YT. He is amazing at explaining.

Agreed, there are a bunch of great videos out there but she has a bunch that really started to show me how powerful this app really is.
