Hack your brain with Obsidian.md

:_ferrisWhat: ERRATA - 7:32 I say "Notion" but I meant "Obsidian" - woops! - YES I am aware of Logseq - it's not up to my requirements yet, but I have been very impressed by the pace of development. The reason I'm so happy about using Obsidian, despite it being closed-source software, is that my data is in plain text, and I can move to another tool (perhaps Logseq) when they become mature enough for my needs! - [[double square brackets]] are not in the original markdown spec, but have been adopted by nearly everyone (including github) - The bold example is also italic, the nesting required to get this working from within markdown bamboozled me!

I'm busy developing note-taking software myself, this comes just in time to procrastinate doing that

As a person with ADHD, I installed Obsidian 6 months ago but still haven't used it

The only Obsidian video to actually convert me. The video itself was actually so engaging that the 12 minutes passed by in a second, perfectly paced and insanely informative!

Everyone using Obsidian should also know that is has native support for Mermaid graphs. Just write a code block starting with ```mermaid and it will render as a graph. Very handy!

Watching your videos feels like scraping layers of plaque off of my brain. Such a refreshing change from the needlessly padded and empty videos I’m used to

For real this is how all content on the web that isn't social media or straight up entertainment should work

The way you talk about things you like is addictive.

The video is as useful and streamlined as the app. As a developer I was thinking about its flaws and what could be improved and I got shut up by the fact you can modify it as you want. This app is just insane. THANK YOU for the productivity boost

I absolutely love Obsidian! I've been using it for a year now. It's absurd how long it took the industry to finally deliver a good note-taking app to us.

I can't express how much i appreciate your videos. High quality information compressed into a objective and straight to the point manner. Nothing left to desire.

For anyone thinking about switching to obsidian one of my favorite features is how easy it is to add new features as you need them. You don't have to start out using every feature you can pick them up and introduce them as you go.

So glad I came across this video! I struggled with note taking for my MS math classes (especially something like Statistics which has interlinked theorems, concepts that are referenced 3-4 'lectures' down the road). Started using Obsidian today and already see the power based on the demos you provided. Would love a deeper follow up!

can we just appreciate how pretty the Obsidian UI is.... it's the sleakies i've seen of all the note softwares/platforms

I would enjoy more videos from you about Obsidian! You have such an engaging style and pacing. I'm sold!

Been using it about 2 years. For creative writing it's phenomenal. Coming to and from personal projects that will never see the light of day but exist literally just as a creative outlet you can get back on board with anything really fast using the map. Truly game changing for my notes. It was sort of like how big zim wiki was for me prior to that.

Not even a coder myself but you’re seriously one of the best informational channels I’ve seen! Plus this got me to give Obsidian a try and now I’m in the process of porting all my notes over, thanks so much for the recommendation!

Love this! I’ve had Obsidian for awhile now, but I was unaware of the vast majority of these features. Really awesome stuff! I would enjoy more videos about Obsidian, as well as other software.

The video is almost 3 weeks old but im glad this was in my recommended page. I've always wanted to start looking for note-taking software and this is exactly what I have in mind. Just wanted to say I appreciate the video and thank you!

This is really cool! The graph function is amazing as well... I'm going to try this out right now. I really appreciate your videos, they provide me with such useful information ♥
