I am sure this has been done many times before, but hopefully this will be helpful to some. It has definitely been a game-changer for me, even if it is such a small change.

I am constantly struggling to focus when I see a huge block of text, even when divided by headers with a colourful font. My dyslexia and ADHD probably do not help.

I have been trying to recreate what I saw in Notion years ago, and wrote this quick CSS snippet to add to a Tokyo Night theme I am using. I tried callouts previously; they looked great, but were obviously not headers.

Pretty happy with the result, I applied this to all headers, but I am considering keeping only H1 - H3.

Here is the code - I am not technical, so it has obviously been written with Claude. I tinkered with this a bit to make it look solid. Colours can be adjusted to fit the different themes.

If you have any suggestions on what can be improved, please share!

Have been using obsidian more extensively for the last 2 weeks, and here are my thoughts.

I already tried multiple times to make it a habit to write down notes, and always failed. I would write notes for 2 or 3 days, then I'd get tired, feel lazy, and give up. All of that was because i was writing notes just for the sake of writing them. And I was spending a lot of time on them, used to write long notes, and maybe it's because of this i got tired and didn't make it a habit.
Now I mostly take short notes, writing down some really important stuff, which i believe would be helpful. And even though I still don't take notes as often as I should, cuz there already were some things that i read one day, then a few days later I needed to check again that post, and had to search it again in browser history instead of looking up in my vault.
This is how my vault looks after about two weeks. And i'm amazed by how some completely unrelated topics end up being connected

I use the MOC system btw. I find it pretty intuitive and helpful when i have to find a specific note, but i can't remember the exact name of that note. I just open the MOC for that topic and then just navigate through notes till i find the note i've been looking for.
This is the folder structure if someone is interested:

If anyone has any suggestions or recommendations, I’d love to hear them.
And yeah, i'm not a native english speaker, so my grammar is not that good. Half of this post i wrote with the translate.

Absolutely monster update today to v4.8.0 - incredible work by the devs - huge list of additions/changes/fixes - just wow! 🚀💪💖

I know it’s not everyone’s first tool/device, but I’m curious if anyone knows of roadmap or improvements to the IPad app.

It works - fine - I guess. But it’s a pretty frustrating experience many times.

Just curious if anyone has a feel on how high the priority is for this?

Refer to title

I won't get into the obvious advice that is the best advice: Just write notes, it's a notetaking app, all you need to do is write in it, use it, and everything else usually follows organically.

My actual advice is something I just discovered in my old "Misc/Old Notes" folder while sorting through it. Now, this is only for people who want to get more out of their vault, if you're only using it as a notetaking app, that's perfectly fine, and it doesn't need to be anything more than that. But if you're trying to squeeze more juice out of your usage of Obsidian then keep reading.

What I found when I went through my folder was that I actually wrote down a long list of all the things that I wanted to be able to do in my vault. I don't know where I got the advice from originally as I was bad at recording sources at that time (lol), and I'd totally forgotten how immensely useful this list was to me, but my advice is to take a moment and seriously write out a list of all the things you want to be able to do in your vault, once you have this list it becomes a lot easier to go ahead and do all those things because you have a clear direction on what you want out of the app.

As you work on the various points on your list, the document becomes a "living note' that evolves as you gather your research and make the necessary changes you require to your vault, and you can tick things off once they're done.

I read my list and was genuinely shocked that I had accomplished all of the things I wanted from it. It's an old list, and it took a few months to get everything done, but wow, I don't think I could have the vault I have today without sitting down first and writing out all the things I wanted to get out of my vault.

Here's a short snippet of my list, I didn't include everything as a lot of it is personal, but hopefully this old note will help someone out there get started. It's pretty haphazard as it was my first crack at the list, it's messy but it helped.

What Do I Need From My Obsidian Vault?

• I want to use Obsidian to help me write essays, articles, and keep up with my online education, as well as manage my personal life (daily habits, tracking reading, meditation, writing notes, thoughts, etc.).
• I need a reliable task list.
  • Life tasks that happen daily, so I can track them.
  • Work order of things to be done today.
  • General tasks that are added on a moment to moment basis when I need to keep track of different responsibilities I need to get to.
  • A way to track what I need to do on a day to day basis, and I need to track my workouts.
• A way to input my progress at the end of the day to inform my actions tomorrow.
• A personal journal for daily self-improvement.
• A place to write up my moment to moment thoughts on any given topic and have the ability to organize those thoughts into a structure I can come back to whenever I need to.
• A space to track my habits and hold myself personally accountable for bad habits and to create good habits for myself.
• A place to unburden myself of all my thoughts and to have a space to process all of them, a journal space.
• A dream journal and a place where I can process and discuss these dreams with myself.
• A mood tracker that allows me to be consciously aware of my emotional state each day and have the ability to track it.
• A space for meditations and thoughts and lessons gleaned from from the practice.
• A space to process what I've learned from CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy).

Hi:

r/ObsidianDevelopers exists now.

If you would like to help me with it, DM or leave a post over there.

I see an opportunity to stand up a developer-focused community on reddit, and I'm a very rookie mod. Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,

Blue

Notebook Navigator is a better file browser and calendar for Obsidian, inspired by Apple Notes, Bear, Evernote, and Day One.

Version 3.0 adds manual sorting, word count targets, and custom group headers, making it a compelling alternative to Scrivener and Ulysses!

Enjoy the release! 🎉

New

• Manual sort. New manual sorting mode in list pane. You can now arrange notes in any order you want. The position is saved as a numeric index value in a frontmatter property, and works in single folders as well as with Show notes from descendants enabled.
• Manual sort. You can reorder notes directly in the list pane. Select one or more notes and press Cmd/Ctrl + Arrow Up/Down. Or pick Edit sort order... from the sort menu to open a dedicated drag-and-drop view, which supports multi-select on desktop and touch on mobile.
• Manual sort. New setting: List > Manual sort > New note placement controls where new notes are added when manual sort is active: Top, Bottom, Below selected note, or Unsorted. Default is below selected note.
• List pane. Custom group headers. Set group mode to "Custom" then create or edit group headers by right clicking files in list pane.
• List pane. Word count targets. Custom group headers can show total word count and progress against a target word count, similar to writing targets in Scrivener.
• List pane. Group headers can now be collapsed. Click the chevron next to a group header to collapse or expand it.
• Recent files. You can now drag items from recent files into shortcuts, folders, tags and properties.
• Calendar. New setting Calendar > Calendar integration > Periodic notes locale controls whether Notebook Navigator periodic note paths use the selected calendar locale or Obsidian locale.

Improved

• List pane. Word count display now supports title placement, property placement, target word counts, and target percentage display. Change it in List > Notes > Word count.

Changed

• Settings. "Property to sort by" was renamed to Properties to sort by. It now takes a comma-separated list of frontmatter properties, and each one shows up as its own option in the list pane sort menu.

Fixed

• Commands. When Notebook Navigator: Delete files was called and the navigation pane was last focused, it could delete the selected folder. It now only deletes selected files.
• Shortcuts. Folder and note shortcuts no longer break when synced between devices with different path case sensitivity, for example appLab/SKILLS-WORKFLOWS vs applab/skills-workflows.
• List pane. Fixed extra spacing in feature image rows when dates are hidden and tags or properties are visible.
• List pane. Removed tiny hairline gap above the sticky group header showing on some scaling modes.

Your hands on your keyboard and GO.

Open the note that you created last month. You remember part of title, tags etc.

My answer: CTRL-E is assigned to omnisearch, I write the tag for the project, but that's not enough to find the individual note from a project, then whatever I can remember. So it's like, "Artemis flight data cost". I don't even use # for searching tags, why should I?

Hey all, with the new plugin review system I decided to polish and release my personal fork of Liam Cain’s original Calendar plugin - a plugin near and dear to my heart as I've used it every day for nearly 3 years now.

https://community.obsidian.md/plugins/calendar-plus

https://preview.redd.it/eumyulgdiy1h1.png?width=2380&format=png&auto=webp&s=bdc7310914e78a62f48f69d6a38fb1a60334655c

There are three big updates/differences:

1. Periodic notes are integrated directly into the calendar plugin
2. Month / year / quarter labels are clickable
3. Dots simply indicate whether a note exists

There are also a lot of bug fixes and cleanup bringing both the calendar view and periodic note functionality up to current Obsidian plugin standards. Part of why I put time into this is that the original Calendar and Periodic Notes plugins haven’t been updated in ~4 years. They’re currently sitting in the 56–66% range on the new plugin scorecard as a result.

After several rounds of cleanup I've been able to get Calendar Plus to 99% on the scorecard w/ the one remaining recommendation being intentionally deferred for usability/functionality reasons.

This was built with a lot of support from Claude Code / Opus. And of course huge credit to Liam Cain for the original Calendar and Periodic Notes plugins. That groundwork is what made this update possible, along with inspiration from others like FBarrca who previously forked this.

I hope others who love the Calendar plugin find this to be a useful update! I'll do my best to respond to bugs/issues but don't plan to make major functionality changes at this stage. Keeping things simple is part of the point.
