Writing down what I do in Obsidian

#12Since this post will attract Obisidan veterans, I asking for some validation of two potential need-gaps in Obisidian I'm tracking for a while -
1. Live recommendation for Obsidian[1]
Say I'm typing a note and write a sentence about echo location then I get recommended a previous note with a comment from a HN user about how moths escape bats by deafening it in a side panel.
It's not a keyword based recommendation, But a sentence classification (I understand the compute overhead drawback).
2. Automatic tag generator for Obsidian[2]
This is simpler, Generate tags for the notes automatically based on previous tags and if none is available then generate new tags.

#14I've seen a lot of recent posts about Obsidian in the past week. If it's a marketing tactic then it might be working on me. I hope it's a decent product and not just some PR stunt.
Gotta admit i also checked out obsidian and the top review for the app on the play store gave me pause. Seems the app cannot sync with your local server so you'd need the sync subscription if you wanted to use app and desktop together to maintain one set of notes.
Can someone confirm this?

#15My note taking system is simple:
I'm using MacOS Notes application, in that basically have two important notes: Reading and Writing.
My professional life is mostly about reading and writing.
Other minor notes include: Awesome materials.
I never have a separate Todo/Outcomes,.. notes.
Re: Writing down what I do in Obsidian
#16There's a useful plugin called "Daily Notes" which automatically creates a note each day with your desired template, along with the calendar plugin I have a daily chronology of everything I've done which I deem noteworthy. If anyones interested in Obsidian and daily journalling keep the initial ceremony low. Some people have sections for challenges, achievements, mood, emails, to-dos, etc. That'll be far too much cog…
I use this every day :)

On iOS/macOS you can use iCloud Drive to synchronize without the subscription. It doesn’t work flawlessly but it’s „ok“.

#18no shade, but just reading this I was sure this was written by someone who works in BigTech. Because this was very reminiscent of ceremony required for BigTech performance reviews.
Yes, I thought it sounded like snippets for my OKRs. Could also be derived from quantified self lineage.
I think it is more the latter. Seems more like a passion (or obsession) than something they have to do for OKRs, especially with the super detailed logging and using dedicated apps, and super optimizing them on top of that.

#19Personally my Obsidian notes are a reflection of the chaos in my head. The neurons (notes) of my second brain all interconnect without rhyme or reason or folders or tagging...
This is imo how most people should start and use it. All these "structure first" approaches are like using someone else's preferred way of learning and memorizing, if it works its an happy accident. You'll get your structure out of your mind once you learn to know it.
I am constantly finding myself deliberating whether I should or shouldn't use folders in my Obsidian vault.
Most of the times folders feel artificial. I prefer tags nowadays as the single source.
The times I separate to a folder is for very-specific Dataview data-only pages, and for storing assets such as images.

I use Syncthing to sync between my android phone and my computer without a subscription, and everything has been working perfectly.
