    I respect neorg dev, He is a great guy and neorg is so power full and allows us to have th power that emacs user's use to show us.
    But markdown is a natural feeling. ( Have learned neorg but had to come back to markdown)
    and your videos are my go to for just getting a heads up what was that thing that makes this awesome

    Great overview of getting markdown working well in Neovim! I personally stick to using the Obsidian app with vim mode, I leverage dataviews a lot and lots of custom keybindings to stay productive.

    • @devopstoolbox
      @devopstoolbox  2 місяці тому +1

      I must say I do too. 50% of my writing is done within Neovim, definitely 95% of *reading* is done through the Obsidian GUI because of dataviews :)

    this video improved my life once again. You got me into tmux, and your nvim config gave me some major workflow improvements. Now you bestow upon me more markdown goodness.
    I also might get a moonlander thanks to you, but i'm quite afraid of the adjusting period, especially because i'll be able to use it in my house. Do you have any video about programming with an ergonomical keyboard? Love your videos!

    Amazing! I'll definitely check this out!
    If I were to be working on a project, can you you easily fuzzy find and open notes from one or more obsidian vaults?
    That would be a game changer, having access to your own wiki and daily notes without leaving your project!

    • @devopstoolbox
      @devopstoolbox  2 місяці тому +1

      Definitely! You can configure multiple vaults with Obsidian.nvim.
      I must say that back when I tried it (13 months ago) this functionality was a bit clunky, but I didn't actually NEEDed it, so I kept only one vault configured.

    One thing that's bothering me is the lack of support for images. Ideally I'd just be able to copy-paste an image right into the notes, Neovim should take care of storing and linking the image in markdown. Rendering images in the terminal is possible (with some terminals) but I don't think that's supported in Neovim. Any suggestions?

      People have different workflows and value different things.

    • @theherk
      @theherk 2 місяці тому +1

      Very simple; you can program your editor. With most gui’s, if it doesn’t do what you want, tough cookies. But with Neovim or emacs, when that happens you can alter its behavior as you see fit. I really don’t think there is another sufficient answer, but this reason is good enough for many of us.

    • @raenastra
      @raenastra 2 місяці тому +7

      I agree - I don’t think second brain systems are necessary for development in general.
      They do make a lot of sense if you’re trying to build up ideas for content creation around your work, which is why I think videos around it have become so popular. Content creators build a workflow around their system for creating content, and then share it with their audience.

      It depends. During work it's actually extremely useful to have something like his. Notes about common stuff/scripts or knowledge just to have some basic documentation/some note for reference that can help you later (like f.e. commonly solved problem already). It's saving me lots of time during my work
      Call it a second-brain, call it something else, doesn't matter. Ultimately it's all about putting knowledge in some persistent place where it's easily accessible to you and you will not forget it
