My latest video on Flow States 🌊 I show how I use /obsidian & NotebookLM to keep track of my research, write my ideas, and map the discoveries into a mental model for systemizing flow 💡 You can watch on YouTube or in embedr, where you can listen/watch within farcaster directly ✨

one final highlight/note of the day before bed: been moving my clipping flow over to the Obsidian Clipper and it’s goated easy cross-platform save flow + it grabs the whole page as markdown as well as some frontmatter/metadata

If you've found my Obsidian & digital garden tutorials helpful, I would love if you would please consider voting (engaging) with my public good retro funding submission ⬇️ 😊 I appreciate that there is such an active obsidian community on farcaster & will continue making resources that tie the two together 🫡

Bases in Obsidian 1.9 can be exported to CSV or copy-pasted anywhere — as Markdown, or into any spreadsheet app

with Obsidian Bases you can create embedded views that reference the current file — for example if I put my "Places" base inside Taipei I get only places I saved in Taipei

Migrated my personal vault to Obsidian Bases and it feels so good 🥰 I was able to translate ~3,000 dataview queries into 30 bases. Makes for a more maintainable approach to bottom-up notetaking. My updated vault template is here: https://stephango.com/vault

Does private multiplayer Obsidian sound interesting? Thanks to a tip from @wanderloots.eth, I discovered the Relay plugin that allows me to collaborate with others on specific pages in my vault! To keep this private, I then set up my own local relay server. Check out my write-up below if you want to see how it can be done (and get a link to the awesome video by Wanderloots on the Relay plugin): https://skyron.orbiter.website/obsidian-relay-server/

More fun with Bases. You can use a code block to embed them in a normal markdown page! I created this page with two embedded base tables. If I assign a "done" date to a source in the first table, it instantly moves to the second table. How cool is that?

Bases is a great addition to Obsidian. I quickly spun up a new Base to track the articles that I am reading as part of my research. The filtered table views load instantly, and I can edit the data live in the table. This makes tagging and entering dates across multiple pages amazingly simple. I can't wait to see what other views and functionality come to Bases in the future.

Bases is going to garner most of the attention in the new release of Obsidian 1.9, but the new Footnote View is also a great addition. This is going to be super helpful when working on longer texts with lots of references.

Introducing Bases, a new core plugin that lets you turn any set of notes into a powerful database. With Bases you can organize everything from projects to travel plans, reading lists, and more. Bases are now available in Obsidian 1.9.0 for early access users.
