A structured note-taking app for personal use
> 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

What are your second brain apps like Obsidian?
markdownload - (firefox) - I can use to download entire webpages into markdown - https://github.com/deathau/markdownload - sometimes it's just easier to snippet out a thing I want to keep or reference.

Grimoire: Open-Source bookmark manager with extra features
My perfect bookmark manager is Markdownload https://github.com/deathau/markdownload
Just save the complete page, only selected text or only the link to a markdown file or Obsidian. With downloaded, linked or without pictures. My OS and Obsidian can search those files, they have more (automatically added) metadata.
I can even edit them in the browser: add your thoughts, tags or change the name of the file before they are saved.
I can (automatically) do with them what ever I need. They can be used to (automatically) generate an always up to date start page or a data vault on GitHub.
My local AI assistant can parse them.
Local, versatile, permanent, flexible, cost effective, future save. No need for a bookmark manager.
- Copy webpage text, convert to Markdown

Ask HN: Should we be saving our favorite information locally?
Yes and no.
Instead of PDF, use Markdownload (on iOS, use a Safari web content to markdown file extension):
https://github.com/deathau/markdownload
And save in a journaled folder like "YYYY-MM-DD - Page Title.md" with a YAML frontmatter of all available metadata.
Have this as a folder in your PKM of choice (Obsidian, Foam, whatever).
These days, point some text embedding at it, and let it generate your own LLM brain.
But you can also static-site-generate that back into your own web knowledge site or base.

Wayback: Self-hosted archiving service integrated with Internet Archive
Looking at the link you gave does not help much in seeing what DiskerNet does and looks like, neither.
Keeping it simple, I download pages in Markdown adding some metadata (some tags). When I want images or more I use singlefile extension. Add Recoll to the mix and that's all I need.

[Android] How do I make a note on specific folder without first making it outside and move it?
I've heard you can use QuickAdd to streamline creating notes in specific places, but haven't tried it myself.

Second Daily Notes - Micro Journaling
I haven't tried Siri + Obsidian myself but I think the approach is to use Advanced URI plugin. See this discussion https://github.com/Vinzent03/obsidian-advanced-uri/issues/60 and https://github.com/chhoumann/quickadd/issues/256
- Insert a templater template directly from command palette?

Capturing quick text input *outside* of Obsidian app?
I use QuickAdd religiously for capturing quick notes during my workday for later follow-up without interrupting my flow. This works brilliantly when the Obsidian app is open and focused, but sometimes I'm on a different virtual desktop and I need to navigate back to it. The next level for minimal interruption would be to configure a system-wide hotkey that works even if I'm not focused on the Obsidian app. It would bring up a simple text input (whether that's Obsidian-based or not), I jot down the note, and the input would auto-close on submit just like QuickAdd.

Tool for Organizing Music/Clips for Inspiration
The only thing that occurs to me would be Obsidian with the Dataview and Templater (or maybe QuickAdd) plugins. You can embed the YouTube video directly like so. It's not exactly your ideal UI, but if you happen to be a web developer you could probably bend it to your will.
-
Is it possible (and uncomplicated) to create a prompt with a set of options, such that multiple selected items are inserted in to the note?
I’m not 100% if this will do what you want but I’ve seen a combination of both templater and this quick add https://github.com/chhoumann/quickadd to add prompts to create sections in the notes. I haven’t done it myself but I have found the idea is pretty cool and can be practical
-
Is there a way of automating actions from different plugins and commands in the command palette to run one after the other without triggering them manually?
Other than that, the QuickAdd and Templater plugins allows you to add and format new md notes. There are a lot of QuickAdd recipes available to draw inspiration from.
-
What I am doing wrong?
Another option could be to use the QuickAdd community plugin as it lets you set up a command to create a note with a pre-determined file name format. You could make a command to create a note with the File Name Format {{DATE}} to automatically name the note the current date with the format YYYY-MM-DD. I also just tried this myself and the template worked as expected.
