  1. Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you Smaragd, my desktop application for authors.

    Inspired by Obsidian, Scrivener and Novelwriter, it is a local first, markdown based editor. It is written in rust, and uses native rust gui framework egui.

    Feature-wise, it supports:
    - commonmark markdown
    - live preview
    - Lisa Cron story cards (from the Story Genius book),
    - export to docx, epub, pdf
    - Obsidian style wikilinks and backlinks
    - Pomodoro timer
    - Project and document templates
    - extensive keyboard shortcuts, assignable

    At version 0.5.1 this is considered alpha release, definitively with rough edges. If you take it for a spin, please leave feedback, either here or as a github issue.

    Have fun and keep writing!

  3. I am working on a writing tool. imagine Scrivener and Obsidian having a baby. Written in rust.
    Not using electron, but egui. Manuscript locally in markdown. Would you be interested in being an alpha tester? Windows, Mac and Linux targeted.

    Also:

    - Support for Lisa Crons story cards
    - Wikilinks and backlinks like in Obsidian
    - Integrated Pomodoro timer

    License is currently undecided, but probably a combination of open source and a proprietary 'plus' version.

    Please boost or quote for reach

  5. Ach, es gibt inzwischen ein externes Plugin für #ObsidianMD, das das ganze Zeugs mit ner #Nextcloud synct. Aufm Desktop unter Linux funzt es bei mir schon gut, mit Android probiere ich später mal.

    Eigentlich ist die Voraussetzung für die Nextcloud 33.x.x, mit meiner (noch!) 32.x.x geht es aber auch, es gibt in den Plugineinstellungen den Hinweis, dass es grundsätzlich funktionieren sollte. Man muss jeden einzelnen Vault dafür einrichten, weil die getrennt voneinander funktionieren.

  7. I've finished my first little rust utility 🤩

    clipmd is a CLI tool that given a blog post URL downloads the blog post and converts it to markdown. While doing so it also downloads all images.

    I wanted to have this so I can store blog posts in my obsidian vault.

    Rust things still feel quite magical to me, but writing this was a lot of fun!

  9. This is one really (imho) good byproduct of “AI”: learning the virtues of markdown. Systems like Obsidian (which is really just a way to visualize markdown files) are optimized for the way that LLMs operate. Weirdly, and for reasons I don’t fully understand, apparently it’s the way my brain operates too (or can be).

    Using markdown after decades of word processing feels like being show common core math after decades of traditional long division 🤷‍♀️

  11. Today is the day I started (finally!) the work of cataloguing every item I own.

    I’ve looked years for something that would suit what I wanted to do, had even started the process of speccing up an app to develop myself.

    Then yesterday, I came across a #BookTok post that introduced me to Obsidian and it’s *exactly* what I need: items can link together and possess attributes extensibly (is that a word?), and it’s all free and lives locally on my device 🥰

  13. Several days of research — messing around with Obsidian.md — and I have discovered the ![[]] embed which answers a bunch of problems I'd had reorganizing my notes.

    Reading the Manual, oddly helpful.

    Next up to generate those automatically based on tag.

  14. @photovince I figured that it shouldn't be too hard to vibe code a script together that exports the graph, but it looks like there's already a python library to convert an Obsidian graph into a networkx graph: pypi.org/project/obsidiantools/

    Released a year ago and no updates, so I don't know if it still works, tho.

  16. @Elantris Nicht alle Plugins für #ObsidianMD funktionieren auch unter #iOS, aber doch einige. Am besten unter community.obsidian.md/ nachschauen oder einfach ausprobieren.

  18. Just got a Boox Go 10.3 Gen II Lumi (10-inch front-lit eInk tablet, Android OS) and have had fun setting it up. I got it mainly to reduce dependence on (or provide an alternative to) backlit devices like my Mac and iPad, which are starting to give me eyestrain.

    The biggest question is how well will it work for writing (using Obsidian, at least at first). It's not a dealbreaker if it doesn't work well, as it isn't a primary device, but it will be nice if it works at least adequately.

  19. Wednesday marked 2 years of me using Obsidian. This is the state of my vault now. I still get a dopamine kick every time a node appears or a link is created. So calming.

    Anyway. I'm currently at 3015 notes, 12980 links, 664 123 words, and 399.57 MB.

    I guess I need to clean up here and there...

  21. Not sure I'm going to be able to get Obsidian running on this thing 😭

    I hope I'm wrong, but it kind of feels like Postmarket OS on ARM is very limited. Almost everything I might want to run is not available as an Alpine APK, and/or not available for ARM architecture.

    📦 For some reason I can't see a list of apps on the Flathub website filtered by architecture, leading to a frustrating process of trial and error because most flatpaks aren't actually available for this device.

    🖼️ In theory, I should be able to get an AppImage to run, but the Obsidian ARM64 AppImage is not running.

    🐋 Maybe I could get it to work in a Docker container, but I don't know the first thing about Docker so I'm having a hard time understanding how to even get started, and maybe it will be laggy anyway.

    I have Kate running just fine, so maybe I can bolt on some extensions for markdown, ink, etc. that would make this a useful writing device?

    What am I missing? Aren't most of the devices that Postmarket OS is intended for on ARM architecture? What are people actually doing with their devices once pmOS is installed?

  23. Was ist bloß los mit dem #Obsidian Hashtag? Sehe seit Tagen nur noch irgendwelchen Spiele-Kram. Das war früher auch schon immer wieder der Fall, aber derzeit ist es fast unerträglich und wird gefühlt täglich ärger. Zum Glück gibt’s noch #ObsidianMD ;-)

  25. Bisher habe ich doch immer über den mangelnden PDF-Export in Obsidian gemault. Gerade spiele ich mit dem Plugin "Advanced PDF Export" herum. Und was soll ich sagen, ich bin fast am Ziel.

  27. 📝 Meeting Notes Sync v0.4.0 for Obsidian is out!

    New: merge two duplicate meetings into one.

    If MacParakeet and Fellow both record the same meeting under different titles, you used to end up with two folders. Now a single "Merge two meetings…" command folds both into one, combines their notes, removes the leftover, and keeps your meeting numbers sequential.
