Nicole van der HoevenNew @obsidian version for Insiders is out, and it's a big one! Two words: Frontmatter UI.
I've been trying it out for a few weeks already. Here's everything you need to know: https://youtu.be/RrxqkIhh9L8

Emelia 👸🏻@nicole @obsidian @castillar gosh, I'm really starting to want to use Obsidian, I'm just not sure how it'll work given my chaotic brain & how I'm often jumping between things and having ideas come up from conversation/randomly — I'm not that great at outsourcing my brain's memory quite like a researcher might be?
Any tips? Feels like it'll require active work to get good at?

@thisismissem @nicole @obsidian As a member of #TeamADHD, I definitely I definitely hear you! Thus far I’ve found that just dumping my brain into it has been a good start, because it puts the info in front of me. Following a single system like Zettelkasten is tempting but hasn’t worked well: it’s great for scholarly-type studying but didn’t work nearly as well for day-to-day bits for me. OTOH, the nice thing is that you can maintain sections of a vault, so I’ve got one section for “random brain thoughts”, one for a wiki-like dump of architecture at work, another for writing articles and such, another for project organization, another for trying Zettelkasten… :)
@thisismissem @nicole @obsidian Which is a very long-winded way of saying “I found just putting everything in it was the best way to get started. I’m still trying to figure out the best way to organize it, but at least it’s all there.” :-D
@castillar @obsidian ooh! okay! I think I might have to start trying it, because I'm managing several very very technical things, and whilst I'm rather good at remembering all the things, I feel like writing them down would probably be better, and give me a resource from which I could refer others
e.g., tonight I learned how Relay's on the Fediverse work, and how we could use a similar Actor for moderation purposes.
@thisismissem @obsidian NICE! Yes, I’ve been using a chunk of mine as a sort of collaborative wiki: because it’s all in Markdown, I’ve checked that directory into a git repo I can point co-workers at so we can all push content into it. The result is a sort of collaborative documentation of our architecture. :)
Also, have a look at the Dataview plugin, which lets you add metadata tags to your pages and then create tables and lists using queries. It’s ACE for pulling together pages like “all the projects tagged with this project manager”.
