Show HN: Obsidian 1.0
Happy to share some of what's been working for me. Some of this is stuff I'm actively using, some of it hasn't quite made it into the "day to day use" yet, but I've been experimenting with. (Random personal advice: Never let your note taking tools feel like using them is work, that's the first step towards not keeping notes!)
- For fans of "outline workflows" Outliner is excellent. A whole bunch of outline/indented text movement and manipulation commands: https://github.com/vslinko/obsidian-outliner
- For easily refactoring notes that are getting too large you want to have Note Refactor. It gives you tools to easily take blocks of text and quickly cut them out into new notes. Its not magic out of the box, but its a powerful tool you can use when building workflows with other plugins. https://github.com/lynchjames/note-refactor-obsidian
- Local images is another good one, working with online content can get messy when you copy notes and then want to be able to work any where you have Obsidian synched. I've got it on my Laptop, two desktops, phone and tablet... I want to carry as much of my related content with me so having an easy way to convert remote images to local copies is a big productivity boost when making notes about content from the internet. https://github.com/aleksey-rezvov/obsidian-local-images
- For analysing the content for some useful stats there's: https://github.com/SkepticMystic/graph-analysis but this is for a relatively specific sort of analysis.
- More general and flexible analysis and graph visualisations are available from the combination of https://github.com/zsviczian/excalibrain , https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview and https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin ... in short query your notes and note metadata like its a database, build reports and data visualisations, and then excalibrain is a whole thing built on top of that power.
- Dynamic embeds of outside content are available from https://github.com/dhamaniasad/obsidian-rich-links and https://github.com/Seraphli/obsidian-link-embed depending on the style and use you like. While there is a built in functionality to preview the links to other notes when you hover over them https://help.obsidian.md/Plugins/Page+preview which has a demo here https://youtu.be/dmnVml_jbsQ?t=222
- And a real force multiplier is adding https://github.com/Taitava/obsidian-shellcommands to your setup. It lets you run scripts and prompt for information and really invest time in procedural automation without having to build your own javascript plugins. So you can setup your system so that when you use the refactor to cut out a new note, the automations will trigger, ask you to give the note a new heading, tags, and you have a little script that checks last modified time of the folder tree of text files, and looks at the folder of the last modified time and asks you in that popup if you want to move the new note to the folder the note you cut it from is located in. Or anything else you can imagine using outside automation and scripting tools on your plain text markdown files.
These are just a start and if you haven't already browsed the plugins at https://obsidian.md/plugins I wholeheartedly recommend it, people are adding new cool things pretty often and other plugins add new functionality that makes them worth checking out if they were previously not something that you found interesting. I do a read through of the plugin list probably at least once every month or two just to see what's new, and more often if I'm experimenting with changes to my workflow.

Graph view of header references inside a single file
If visualization were important to me, in your position I would split the note on headers, and then link between the new notes.

Best way to organize code snippets
u/Arthurpmrs you might like this plug-in, helpful for those files that get too long, or your original organization patterns runs out of steam. https://github.com/lynchjames/note-refactor-obsidian

longform
- Obsidian plugin that helps you write novels

Extract note A content from a link in note B and pastit down the link. Is that Possible.
Otherwise, even if it is a bit convoluted, the longform plugin can be used to compile a collection of different notes in a single "manuscript". Just create a longform project and have one card per file, then you compile them.
-
Exporting and using writing app
The longform plugin is all about taking individual notes for chapters/snippets/etc in a single project and putting them together.
-
Any way to bulk-export a number of notes to PDF?
Depending on your usecase you could try longform plugin to compile and export multiple files as pdf.
- Panes? Ok, I installed a plugin to help me with what I am trying to to do. And in the GitHub thing it says ‘in the Longform pane’. How do you change the pane?

Pandoc conversion loop | Keeping MS Word in sync
In addition, if you'd like to split your long Markdown file into separate files (one for each chapter, or whatever structure your academic writing has) you could look into the Longform plugin. It can merge multiple files (and do a lot of other stuff, like removing links etc), and then you could add the Pandoc conversion as a final step in the Longform workflow. https://github.com/kevboh/longform

Is there a free non-cloud based word processor you like?
It might not be exactly what you're looking for, but it is free and it's all local. If you decide to give it a go, try a few of the community made plugins (I use Longform, Advanced Tables, Templater and Tracker) to see just how cool and easy it is to customise. Installing directly from the community plugins browser isn't the most secure, but you can manually install whatever you want just by downloading directly from GitHub. It's a lot easier than it sounds!

Using Obsidian for novel writing/planning
The longform plugin is pretty nice, turning Obsidian into a Scrivener-esque tool for writing individual bits that can be drag-rearranged in the project pane view, with the added benefit of being able to use Obsidian's easy cross-linkings.
- Notion or Obsidian?

Help with 2 Feature Needs
The Longform plugin will get at both things, admittedly in relatively kludgy way. It treats specific folder-bound sets of notes as scenes in a draft, and those scenes can be manually dragged to reorder them, then a compile action can stitch them all together into a new note. The default compile steps strip links and such, but you can make a custom sequence that just retains the stitching together while retaining all markdown formatting.
