Workspaces+ is looking for help,
@nickmilo & @nicole put out new self-paced Obsidian guides, & there were some interesting discussions about the implications of AI on notes.

Plus, the website is undergoing a bit of an overhaul, so bear with me 😅 I still haven't swapped around the domains yet and some of the CSS is still a little janky.
