📊 Obsidian: Nutrition
At the end of the day, I use Dataview, a plugin for Obsidian, which allows me to make queries to my notes similar to SQL to visualize the collected information:
-
Apache Superset

This whole ideas to have data, visualisations and knowledge base in one private offline place is very appealing

My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file
Since at least 2012 I've also been using a text file format from http://todotxt.org/ and more recently I wrote a program that takes a crontab-like list to pre-generate entries on a daily, by-day-name (every Sunday for example), and I also pull in a list of holidays from gov.uk, so they are also populated.

A structured note-taking app for personal use
> Joplin is using md to.
The way it's handled can make the difference in control.
> by separating that in their DB, it's a big NO for me since it's a closed silo.
Joplin is using a popular open database with a healthy community and good tooling. It's as open as markdown. Maybe not for you, when you lack the knowledge, but markdown is similar closed for anyone not understanding filesystems and editors.
> This: https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview works so wonderful for me
Good for you, but that is very low level in terms of data-handling. Dataview is really just an elaborated search, there is no good level of interaction. Datacore, the next project of the Dataview is supposed to bring this, but it's not even usable yet AFAIK. Coincidental, the Obsidian-devs are also working on that front, but nothing is finished yet.
> https://github.com/denolehov/obsidian-git and b) easy to fix since it's a text file. Gosh!
That's useless when the app itself is not working. And even worse if you are not realizing the errors early.
> Aha. I don't think so. Which authority says that?
My own experience. I've tested enough plugins over the years to know their dark corners.
> And even if It's like that, my markdown files would survive everything
The thing is, technically you are not even having proper markdown, but a fork with some extensions of Obsidian. So some features of your parts might break when switching away from Obsidian. And the reason for all this is also because markdown is lacking definitions for what obsidian-people are doing with it. Coincidentally, this seems also one of the reasons why Joplin is using a database.
> And gosh, this is a good thing!
Not if they all suck.
> Installing multiple task plugins shows that something is "broke" on the user side.
Sure, because the plugins are lacking features, its the users fault... Maybe some users have just very different levels of requirements from you.

I'm completely stressed out trying to fix this so I hope one of you would be able to help me. I'm trying to create a home page of sorts so I can navigate my files without using the folders. (SEE COMMENTS)

How to automatically fill different notes from a single note ?
For using it, having SQL or JavaScript knowledge is useful, but you can probably figure it out without that knowledge. The Github page has a lot of examples that you can cannabalize for simple things without really getting too deep into it.

Show HN: I made an open-source Notion-style WYSYWIG editor
Have you heard of Obsidian? It's a note-taking app build on locally stored markdown files with bidirectional linking and a great ecosystem of third party plugins. One of the most popular plugins is https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview which lets you treat your notes as databases and query them to form tables. The creator has been working on its successor, Datacore https://github.com/blacksmithgu/datacore for a while - Datacore might come close to what you're looking for, its goals include WYSIWYG views and live editing inside tables.

- Leaving Notion - plugins to achieve similar features?
- Can an Obsidian expert please weigh in here on whether this type of filter interface is possible on Obsidian, as it's not on Notion?

Notion-like Editing Experience - Is That Possible?
I used Obsidian DB Folder for a little bit, and it had some more functionality in its displays, but it felt rather clunky and still not quite where Notion is at, so I fell back to plain Dataview eventually.

Hi, is there a way to add interactable fields to dataview?
https://github.com/RafaelGB/obsidian-db-folder has that feature

What apps has Obsidian not been able to replace for you?
Google Keep for quick capture (simple copy-pasting links from mobile) and Notion for project management (although I think the Database Folders and Projects plugin can do a similar job)

Convince me I should switch from Bear to Obsidian
Features you can't replicate in Bear: - Dataview - https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview - Making a movie database with Dataview - https://minimal.guide/Guides/Create+a+movie+database - Obsidian DB folder - https://github.com/RafaelGB/obsidian-db-folder - Quick switcher (CTRL+O on desktop) - Calendar - Templates - Templater - https://github.com/SilentVoid13/Templater - Theming community - Plugin ecosystem
- Notion out of nowhere asked me to set my cookie preferences. Clicking the "Accept all" button reloads Notion, but this popup appears every time. This seems to be happening on both Windows app and web browser.
