Umberto Eco, the grandfather of Obsidian

Umberto Eco, the grandfather of Obsidian

I think this quote from Focault's Pendulum could be really helpful for all those newcomers who ask how often or how much to use [[wikilinks]].

What's everyone's favorite light theme setup in Obsidian?

I find myself switching between Flexoki and default colours scheme in Minimal. Sometimes the yellow feels great, sometimes weird but on the other hand white can be too hard on the eyes. I figured I'll ask for recommendations here.

It just seems like an AI generated zettelkasten. Raw, Source and Wiki folders are just another terms for Fleeting, Literature and Permanent notes.

The idea itself is not bad. I have a lot of sources from my field that I reference from time to time but I'm too lazy to atomize them myself. But why is everybody acting like it's some sort of lifechanging thing?

Also I have a quite small vault. Some +2000 atomic notes. Just yesterday I've asked Opus 4.7 to read and categorize all of them. I've used all my usage on that. How the hell do expect it to work when you have +10K notes full of AI generated summarizes? Not talking about hallucination and the need to evaluate every single note anyways. Maintaining AI curated vault is just not sustainable.

I'm glad that thanks to the AI bros Obsidian is finally receiving the attention it deserves. On the other hand, it feels like these people are rediscovering wheel.

The new Raycast seems to have skills and MCP. That's basically all I need from an AI – let it read my notes in Obsidian, sync news between apps and summarize my todos for the day. I hate that I'm stuck with Claude Cowork because of Anthropic's policies, and because it seems that their Opus is just getting dummer with every update. In the end I just switch between Claude, Gemini and ChatGPT just to get a solid output.

Raycast, for me, is just a launcher. I love it but I have no use of other paid features aside from AI (and maybe quick notes). Is there maybe other alternatives for my use case?
