obsidian-wielder VS note-refactor-obsidian

Depending on which particular subject you are interested in:

- The plugin:

https://wielder.victor.earth/Welcome shows the sort of things you can build with Wielder. The github repository for the library is here https://github.com/victorb/obsidian-wielder

- How To Solve it

The key ideas behind How To Solve It are that for a lot of our challenges there are strategies we can use to tackle them effectively. How To Solve It expounds on how to go about understanding a problem, understanding the connection of the data you have with what you don't know, how to make problems more tractable, carrying out a plan, and evaluating the results.

- Untools

A site dedicated to listing various strategies for thinking, communicating and prioritization; they sell templates similar in nature to what I'm building, but I depart sharply from them in my desired document representation choice for templates - Zettlekastian graph continuations for me versus linear documents for them.

- My own tool

This is currently private and not yet ready for public consumption. I have a whole lot of philosophical backing for what I'm trying to build but it is still very far from generating utility at the level I want it too. Later today I'll see about moving some private notes into a blog post going into more depth about what I'm building and why.

I know I can create a page by selecting the link and pressing [[ and/or use Note Refactor

Could Note Refactor plugin help with what you need to do?

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.

If visualization were important to me, in your position I would split the note on headers, and then link between the new notes.

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
