I love #ObsidianMD. However, many enthusiasts in the space tend to create 20- to 30-minute tutorials. (Love you guys, but ain't got no time for that! ;P)

I'm a visual learner, so videos are immensely valuable to me. However, I am not convinced that text-based documentation will ever go away.

Here's the documentation I wrote for Notebook Navigator, a very popular Obsidian plug-in that I'm still using.

At first, I found the UI complex, but breaking it down in a document helped me learn-up the plug-in quickly. (The best way to learn is to teach someone else!)

If you use Obsidian, you may find my guide for Notebook Navigator useful: https://elizabethtai.com/2025/11/25/how-to-use-notebook-navigator-obsidian-community-plug-in/

PS: One of my dream pet projects is to create a documentation site from something like #Astro for the various community plug-ins out there. But I'm so busy I don't have time to even start. One day!

Mastodon is a different beast.

Don’t treat it like a bird…
or you’ll end up with a broken cage.🙃

A lot has changed since my last look. Bases, the web clipper, and web viewer are all new. But is it still the PKM app I'd recommend? Short answer: yes. Longer answer: https://www.ctnet.co.uk/obsidian-review-2026/

A fantastc post about note taking that will really help you learn. The trivium system makes so much sense.

I backed this on Kickstarter because I absolutely hate the games that are “free” but require endless purchase of the stuff you need to play.

Well, that and the fact that The Iconfactory is awesome!
