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!

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

I was hardcore Notion user , Today morning (2024, 4, 27) I found Obsidian and I FELL IN LOVE!!!

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.

I've been passively looking for a markdown app for such a long time but it feels like all of them have annoying quirks, aren't actually markdown, or are behind a pretty steep paywall. I stumbled on this video a few days ago and I've been obsessed with this app ever since. Thank you SO MUCH for creating this video. This is exactly what I've been looking for.

If only all video guides/tutorials were presented like this. Concise, directed, dynamic pacing, plus energy in the voice!

Thanks for leaving the basic-syntax link on the screen for a while. It helps me type it out while listening!
