obsidian-minimal VS quickadd

link2 with example in here

I made a theme for Obsidian linked below. As a result I got to know the founders, and helped design the 1.0 version of the app. This eventually led me to join the company as CEO. I had previously founded and run two startups, so that helped too.

You mean Minimal? It's good, but I haven't seen it adapted for Publish specifically. While it's minimalistic visually, it's a huge and really complicated theme in terms of the code; you can't just copy and paste its main css file and expect it to work well. Or can you? 🤔

For future folks, here's what I added as a CSS Snippet (keep in mind, this is for the Minimal theme, so it might not work for others):

I've heard you can use QuickAdd to streamline creating notes in specific places, but haven't tried it myself.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
