When we refer to obsidian as a second brain it doesn't mean we become lazy. Conversely we think deeper to the organisation of our knowledge. It should be very usefull to those people who teach. It really force us to clarify our thoughts and force us to make summaries ! Thanks you very much.
You're so right. And just because it's a second brain doesn't mean it takes less work. It just takes a different kind of work than trying to keep it all in your head. Much higher rewards to keep the second brain external like this, though
Here’s what I found in terms of roadmap for Obsidian obsidian.md/roadmap/ Additionally, there’s a fantastic free Obsidian discord community. You can definitely connect with other plugin developers there
Fwiw, you can definitely use Obsidian effectively without any programming knowledge. To use the vast majority of the most popular common community features, you just need to be able to follow instructions from a blog or video guide on UA-cam. The Obsidian community actively shares and is one of the most friendly I've found in eons. You'll be able to find someone who explains what you need in the way you need to hear it for most Obsidian topics. Dann has some excellent ones!
@@markcoren2842 Yes, that's totally correct. Most thing you do in Obsidian don't need programming. I was more answering the question "If I were to WANT to program plugins for Obsidian, how much programming experience do I need?"
Excellent video, thanks a lot. Just one question : what is your motivation to put the author and the title in your message body again ? Both information is already in the properties (and the note name as well) If feels like duplicate.
It's totally a duplicate. It's just personal preference and style for me when I'm looking at a note and what information pops out to me. Build your note however works best for you!
In order for the Properties box to render, your note needs to *start* with three dashes ("---") that you see in the template. Make sure there's no text and no line breaks before that beginning part of the template. gist.github.com/dannberg/a5f6e150d128e0b3209ff276ab36a0be
Once again a very interesting video with insights into the way you work. First of all: I have also introduced MOCs in my system through your videos and added buttons to them using MetaBind. Thank you very much for the inspiration, it really helps me in my daily work. Then: I have a similar database and have automated the creation of the notes and content more, as you have already described: I use Readwise and the export option there to Obsidian. I have also installed the "Book Search" plugin, which can provide me with a lot of metadata for each book. And I use a modified version of the book list on Canvas by Danny Hatcher to get an organized overview of the books I've read and still have to read. Thanks for the video and keep up the good work!
Great! Yeah, you've added a bunch of additional automation, which sounds great. I've seen some really lovely book setups (complete with cover art, etc) around. Thanks for sharing. I'll look into those plugins
I like very much to be able to get your implementation of Templates and MOCs. I made unbelievable progress since I follow your advices with Templater, Meta-bind and even Dataview. I will use your Templates and MOC for Books and I expect to see soon what you will propose for articles. I am also thinking how to apply it to my personnal life like tracking medical consultations and examinations, administrative stuffs and family stuffs (including when helping other people).
Medical information tracking is a perfect use case for this type of system (system being MOC, template, dataview table). Super easy to collect all information in one place and track it all. Great!
For me, yes. I was moving from a more technical role into more of a community role, and the book gave me solid context for this new position and how it fits into the larger org. Depending on your own background, YMMV
Hey Dann loved all your obsidian guides, all inspired me to improve my own system. Im very curious to check your +home to see how you glue all together :p
Ha, I actually had to check myself when you asked. It's currently just a bunch of links to MOCs (and a bit outdated). It's not a page that I'm EVER on, so I haven't spend much time at all working on it. Most of my time is spend in two places: my articles and monthly newsletter. Next to that, I'm in my MOCs, and I usually navigate to them directly using Command-O.

Dann, these are great. Thanks for taking the time to share. You are an inspiration.
Thank you! I'm glad you found them useful. Best of luck building out your vault
I Love it 😊 So helpful.
Glad you like it. Thank you!
Very useful, thanks for your sharing.
@@hoangYTB thank you!
I m wondering how much programming you need to program obsidian? Can you guide me towards programming roadmap for obsidian?

Thank you very much for the content here in Brazil it is difficult to find these things

Is "Developer Relations" a good book?

@@DannBerg Great, im on the same situation that i open everything with ctr+o even the tree is most of the times hidden, thanks :)
Thank you so much, I've been waiting for this! 😊
Thanks! Hope it matches your expectations :)
Thanks so much, Dann!
you're welcome!
This is interesting... Unfortunately for me, I don't have those options with meta bind... I'll just stick to buttons
What do you mean you don't have those options with Meta Bind? Are you not able to access the Button Builder?
