Your videos are the highest priority for me. I have perfected my craft structure to be the hub of almost 100% of my work including tasks, projects and all writing (long and short form) and I do it all within one vast document. I was glad to see that your use of objects pushes you in the same direction. I anxiously await your next video
I'm impatiently waiting for objects (or to be invited to the beta) 🙂. Wanting to move away from Notion becuase of how their sharing/collaboration works with guests.
@@NumericCitizen Oh boy. Not what I wanted to hear but that's ok. I'd rather have solid product than something not thought through. I would love to get in on the beta if possible. That way I could start moving my Notion notes over.
Hi there, NC, great job! I have a few questions (I am not participating in the beta). 1. Do links between objects work across spaces? 2. You couldn't yet show how properties are displayed within objects, so maybe this question makes no sense, but are properties in the case of Craft basically tags combined with backlinks? 3. Your initial diagram of the current fundamentals of Craft showed blocks as being possible to create within either documents or pages. Using your definition of document as the master container--basically a top-level page within a folder--I don't see how a block can be created within a document. Documents can only contain pages or other folders, afaik. In fact, only Craft-generated pages can be within a documents. So we can't put text blocks in a document or PDFs or media files. They all have to be in Craft pages within a document. Again, afik. Maybe my definition of a block is wrong? Would love to know more about what you meant! And thanks!
My answers: 1) No. 2) Properties are really just properties like the built-in ones: creation date, last modification date, etc. 3) Blocks are a unit of information (text, image, etc.) that needs to sit somewhere... on a page, a document. A page is simply a non-root document. Hope this clarifies.
Out of curiosity, can objects be sorted/filtered outside of the page they're located in? For instance, if I have task objects in each of my project documents, can I have a separate document that filters all task objects and shows me the ones due today?
well... objects created within a document or page using the /set command don't show up elsewhere but otherwise, yep, there are smart folders for each type of objects that you define. Hope this helps.
Having both "pages" and "documents" still trips me up. Those are synonyms. But since I don't use Notion, a lot of this video was lost on me. But, thanks for the effort!
Based on your diagram: is an object a special kind of block, then? Or perhaps the other way around: is a block also "just" an object? Based on what you told it seems very similar to how Obsidian uses (custom) properties...?
An object is an augmented version of a document, page or a block, why? Because you can turn a document into an object and vice versa, same for a page or even a block inside a document / page.
It's exciting, but as a beta user--creating, nesting, and organizing objects is currently not fun. I am very hopeful and I know they will knock it out of the park. Even as a current beta I wish the objects were stored in a default folder rather than unsorted. Also I wish for a hotkey to quickly create objects but as of right now it's not good for small immediate use cases... more so for long term storage that isn't frequently altered.

be patient; it will be a long ride.

A page is a "document" inside another document. I think you can just think of this as another document.

many good requests here...
So is Craft going to copy the concept from Capacities app? That’s good 😂
I don’t think so. Craft proposition is unique.
@@NumericCitizen Ok, can't wait :)
