buttons VS obsidian-tasks

The Buttons plugin might work for you (except for maybe the running-code-on-startup thing): https://github.com/shabegom/buttons

Here is the link to the plugin: GitHub - shabegom/buttons: Buttons in Obsidian

You will need Templater plugin (I think) and Buttons plugin (https://github.com/shabegom/buttons)

button (mobile)

While there is a plugin to make buttons, but I couldn't get it to work how I wanted. They have a replace line function, but it's not relative, and I'm unsure if the section you want to modify moves around from writing above it. This means that it's quite hard for me to give you a good solution for clickable items so instead I've got a different solution. It also might scale better for you if you ever consider using Dataview tables to show your journal entries.

Well, I will do my best and try to describe as much as possible. - At the top of the sidebar is an iframe widget for listening to internet radio. I pasted its code into a new note and dragged the note there. - Below that is the file navigation panel and I used this CSS snippet, created by Lithou to colour my folders and I adjusted this later to suit my needs. - At the top left of my dashboard is a CSS ribbon with the text "Home" on it. - Next to the ribbon are custom buttons, created thanks to the Buttons plugin. I have moved them up there in CSS, using the "position: absolute;" declaration and adjusting the position by trial and error, using the "top" and "right" properties. Among them are three buttons called "Flash". These are shortcuts to my notes, where I create a list of words to study, and I repeat them later using the Spaced Repetition plugin. - Below the ribbon is a "ᗐ Footer" link that scrolls the dashboard to the bottom. I also have one at the bottom that scrolls it to the "ᗑ Top". - Below that is a list of my tasks for today, managed by the Tasks plugin. - Next to it is an iframe widget with a digital clock. - And below is a link to a list of my weekly meals, generated by the Dataview plugin.

Are there any CSS wizards out there able to help me with this? I'm fairly good with coding/scripting and whatnot, but I've never done CSS before. I'm using the buttons plugin (https://github.com/shabegom/buttons), and I'd like to apply this glassmorphism CSS snippet to my buttons (generated from https://hype4.academy/tools/glassmorphism-generator) background: rgba( 157, 60, 234, 0.4 ); box-shadow: 0 8px 32px 0 rgba( 31, 38, 135, 0.37 ); backdrop-filter: blur( 15.5px ); -webkit-backdrop-filter: blur( 15.5px ); border-radius: 10px;

In terms of making elements which look good quickly getting great plugins and learning them in and out is the move. For me advanced tables is a must have. I can create table about as quickly as I can filling out excel sheets. Data view is another great one as well as banners and buttons. There is also a notions like tables which is amazing in its functionality but still pretty early in development.

I'm able to create buttons using the "buttons" plugin, and I can use that to call a template. So far, so good.

Obsidian has a large collection of community-contributed plugins to serve various user needs. For this guide, we'll install Templater and Tasks, two plugins that can be really powerful when combined to create notes and task lists.

> Not really. Obsidian has its shares of problems too, and most of them originate from using Markdown.

Aha. Which problems do you mean?

> Markdown is a freeform text-format, and works very well for writing text, but it really sucks for data and structured content.

Joplin is using md to. And if Joplin does a good job on "data" and "structured content" (whatever you mean by that) by separating that in their DB, it's a big NO for me since it's a closed silo.

This: https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview works so wonderful for me, and it never breaks anything in my simple md files.

> Most plugins and features in that area are very brittle and overspecialized, working only well enough in their specific use case.

Aha. I don't think so. Which authority says that? And even if It's like that, my markdown files would survive everything, since they are a) in git. https://github.com/denolehov/obsidian-git and b) easy to fix since it's a text file. Gosh!

> And gosh, Obsidian has really a huge amount of plugins for data-handling.

And gosh, this is a good thing!

> At some point, it was so bad that there were multiple competing task-plugins which broke each other just because they had different formatting for dates.

Installing multiple task plugins shows that something is "broke" on the user side. It's not the fault of Markdown or Obsidian.

Just have a look on: https://github.com/ivan-lednev/obsidian-day-planner but you dont need a fancy task plugin like this, if you know your way around https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview or https://github.com/obsidian-tasks-group/obsidian-tasks

Since the Ecosystem around Obsidian and pure Markdown, most of the time I stay in my browser https://github.com/deathau/markdownload and nvim https://github.com/epwalsh/obsidian.nvim

Here’s the plugin’s Github page and here’s the documentation

It’s simply called tasks

I suggest you have a look at the Tasks Plugin.

Would you be so kind as to make the date and time format compatible with https://github.com/obsidian-tasks-group/obsidian-tasks ?
