Was getting confused that some of the options and layouts in 2023 don't match with what was recorded for this video. For anyone confused, I guess that Starred Notes has been replaced by Bookmarks.
yep. seems to be that way. I tags was already active alongside backlinks and stuff on the right as well.
"The Starred Plug-in has been replaced by the Bookmarks plugin which has many more features and is a much better experience. You will find your starred notes in the Bookmarks plugin. Always check the release notes to be up to date." Just an example.
thank you for this comment
Subtly flexing his graph... I like it!
Hahaha! So true :))
I agree that the focus in Obsidian is on 'writing, thinking and linking' rather than formating - not to be distracted by proprietary functions.
Happy to hear!
Its amazing. Now, whenever I speak I'm accompanied by relaxing, inspiring music that appears out of nowhere...
Haha, that sounds like an awesome experience!
“Writing, thinking and linking. “ Thanks for boiling it down to, what I would call, a first principle.
This is an absolutely incredible set of tutorials! Thank you so much for putting it together!
You're very welcome!
I just came to know about a book called "building a second brain" by Tiago Forte. From there, I have started exploring note taking apps. First time while I encounter with obsidian, it was really daunting. But your videos encourage to learn this. Thank you very much.
Currently on this journey my self. Actually found this channel after watching Tiagos video with Nick!
I don't have words to thank you... if you come to Brazil, anytime, please let me know. I want to thank you personally
Was about ready to give up on Obsidian till I found this series. Now I think I'm hooked. Excellent content.
Thanks a lot for subscribing! Really glad you found these tutorials helpful as well!
Obsidian has changed many of the defaults to what you suggest in this video! They must be watching. Even so, this is still a great tutorial for learning the basics of the settings and how to work with them.
Haha, yeah it's fun to see where things have become easier for users
I just discovered Obsidian and it blows my mind how impressive it is.
It's great how you arrange the explanations based on Obsidian's true settings, it helps newbie like me understand better rather than having to look all over the screen trying to find the functions being explained.
Thanks - I'm really glad to hear these tutorials have helped!
My eyes melted because of that unwarned flashbang...
At the part where you turned the light mode on and said "I hope that your eyes didnt burn too much" I had to burst out laughing.
My eyes got instantly fried.
LOL yeah light mode definitely isn't for everyone. Hope you enjoyed the tutorial though!
As an architect type of note taker I am starting to find Obsidian in a sense of freedom. No need to actively organize yet it is exactly where I need it.
Your videos are so cohesive I don’t feel like I’m wasting time like while watching most productivity channels
Thank you for sharing - I'm glad you're finding them useful!
I love that you shared Gall's Law, and I instantly got to put that into obsidian. Thank you for the reference. It's an amazing one for the associations I have in my brain.
you might want to quote John Gall instead of Josh Kaufman, though...
Absolutely love this guy!
Great video. i'm from Brazil and this video it arrived here!
Awesome! Thank you!
I can't thank you enough Nick!.
Obsidian has really been a game changer to me.
You're welome. Happy to help!
Finally...the most perfect (right content, in right structure , in right pace) Obsidian walkthrough videos ever. Thanks a lot. Amazing work.
Oh wow, such kind words. I'm thrilled to hear; thanks for taking the time to share. More to come!
Waiting for more. I tried Obsidian few months but then got into Roam Research. Now I am beginning to feel that perhaps Obsidian is enough for me. Your videos are convincing me more to move back to Obsidian. So I am going to wait for more videos from you.
thank you Nick for creating such a simple and precise tutorials
you're welcome.
Loved it man! great work :) keep it up
I absolutely love these tutorials. I've been toying around with keeping a commonplace book for a few years now but held back because the time intensity of writing/printing manual cards was too much and I never knew about programs like this.
You're enthusiasm and clarity is a great combination! Your intros are not just filler, they're helpful primers for mindsets before the video and as I've mentioned, your enthusiasm throughout the video really brings me along with you in getting excited about the reasons why I'd want to do this and become better at it! Great great videos. Thanks so much for making them!
I like your videos. They are very calming and easy to digest.
really apperciated your simple and easy explainations, they are very helpful!
I'm loving these videos! Thanks so much Nick!
So far the best beginner walkthrough playlist I've come across, thank you for taking things one step at a time!
Perhaps the best set of tutorials on any subject I've ever found on YT. Thank you!
Thank you for this video. I'm going to watch all of them because you not only show what to do, but you also dive into the why of things. Great video!
This is SO GOOD! I love how you structured your tutorials. They are not too dense either. I’m falling in love more and more with this app. Thanks!
Thanks for your great insightful teaching. Just subscribed
Thank you for these nice videos!
Thank you, I am learning and doing.
Fabulous. There is so much depth to Obsidian, that this introduction is essential to get to know the package.
You are my soulmate of organization and thinking! I found your channel and I am a new subscriber. In love with your content and the level of depth, you bring on the subject of organizing your thinking.
Thank you for subscribing and I really hope you've enjoyed the other content!
I came for the Obsidian, but left with awesome quotes #concepts - thank you!!

Imma comment on all your videos! Even when I have nothing to say except THANK YOU 😍
Very good explanation of Obsidian
oh my gosh.. just the functions that I hoped to have from using evernote. thanks for the video
High quality and helpful! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Well done. Thank you.
Really amazing. Thanks
Thanks Nick. This series was helpful for me to get started.
Glad to hear it, thank you!
Thank you, these videos have been a great help getting me up and running with Obsidian again thank you for doing this - What a program
What a program indeed! Really hope it's been going well for you with Obsidian since and I'm glad to have helped along the way.
Amazing video thanks
Hola! recien vi los 3 primeros videos y es genial la forma en que explicas! muchas gracias desde Argentina! (perdon pero mi ingles no es lo sucientemente bueno al escribir)
Good lesson three. I was already browsing other features and had previously enabled it. However i am glad you made this one so i could check what i should keep and what i could discard. Thanks again.
You're very welcome!
Thx for sharing your knowledge, really appreciate it... quite useful.
You're welcome! Really glad you found it useful!
Thank you for making this series. I enjoy your casual but deep teaching style
I'm glad you enjoy it and find it useful.
Thanks alot. Another great video. This playlist helped me get incredibly organized on obsidian and link my ideas and notes, particularly for my school work; so, many thanks.
Glad to help! Thanks for taking the time to share!
Nice job. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Happy to help, Paul! Hope it's going well for you!
Hey Bro, Thanks for creating such a playlist, it was very helpful!
You're welcome, Mukesh! Glad you found this series useful!
Started to enjoy this concept. Really useful
Thanks, Sergiu!
Great set of tutorials, Nick. I am happy to have come across Obsidian and these videos. The tool is designed to think and write. Amazingly simple, however extremely powerful to leverage the human brain.
glad to help!
You are exceptional in your way of explaining things. Thank you for your videos.
So nice of you!
This playlist of Obsidian is incredible! Fantastic work, Nick. Your Obsidian playlists have gotten me to switch from Notion, and I couldn't be happier. Thank you for putting together such an informative series!
Same, Notion just seems like an overkill formatting-wise for most work I do and not too good for writing and thinking and linking. Obsidian's just perfect.
Notion also has a gruesome privacy policy.
Good job Sir. Awesome tutorial for beginners. Thanks!
Thank you! Really glad you found it helpful!
Thanks for all your teaching. Because of you, I am diving in to the obsidian pool. Your computer seems wicked fast. Could you share your computer setup in regard to ram, etc.? Thanks
Thank You friend
These videos are great for a newbie like me getting started and finding their way around MD. It would be helpful to clarify a bit where some things are that you refer to, e.g., I still can't find anything called "Tag pane" and, in settings, it wasn't immediately obvious when you were in "Files and links" instead of "Editor".
Wonderful ❤
Just started playing with Flight School. It's amazing. Thanks for building such a great product.
Thank you for appreciating it!
Thanks so much for your introduction to Obsidian and these excellent tutorials. You've got a new subscriber!
Thank you for subscribing. I hope you find these tutorials useful.
thx it's freaking awesome! you are the man :)
You are!
Very nicely presented. Thanks
Most welcome, Nirupendra!
i feel like i learned way more than just how to use the app. great job
Thanks, Eric - really glad you enjoyed the video!
Thanks bro, you make awesome videos.
I appreciate that!
Great!!
thanks for this series, it's been quite a journey in many ways ;-)
If you ever do an update to this video there is loads more options to mess around with, and I personally was very annoyed with the "Editor - Readable line length" option. In the latest version of Obsidian (0.15.6) it's on by default - and it makes the text in the editor appear in the middle on large monitors, life if you in Word begin with several tabs. Was quite frustrating before I found it, but now it's looking really nice.
just awesome !!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for the information.
You bet!
Never really got on with Roam, this looks like my cup of tea :)
YMMV but maybe this app will stick
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Firstly, thank you for this series. I am just on the third video and I can feel the clarity this app can bring to the bungled thoughts. Secondly, not sure if you answer this later, but do tagging and linking work across vaults or are they limited by vaults? Hope you answer! thanks again!
nice thank you
the settings may need an update but its still usefull, thank you
you're welcome. glad you find it useful.
Thanks
dude. thank you.
Your tutorials are gold for beginners. Just one though...the commands have changed with Obsidian updates and it's confusing to look for icons that are no longer present. Quick notes in the comments section would do. Thank you.
Thanks mate, excellent of you to make these and share them. Very much appreciated
Glad you like them!
thank you very much. :-)
You're very welcome!
When I opened the Obsidian settings I was like,
"Omg... So many settings and options..."
._."
Thanks to you, tho.
Now, I know where I should go first without getting overwhelmed.
And I'm also excited about what is in store when I dive deeper later.
^^
I definitely get that feeling of overwhelm, I'm really glad these tutorials helped and hope you've been doing great things with it in the past year!
Nice
Great job handling items that need further explanation but should be covered in a discussion of settings
Glad you appreciate the pace of the lessons 🙏
'Starring' a note has now changed to 'Bookmark'.
Good video
Thanks again, Arturo!
is there any way of searching through just stared notes?
So Good! I really appreciate your thoughts around keeping it simple so we can just write. :)
Thanks Dariel - it can be so important to remind ourselves of this sometimes!
Was already thinking you had a look of Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) before "With great power comes great responsibility" got quoted, thanks for these helpful videos Obisdian Spiderman !
Thank you - you're quite welcome!
is there a way i can [[ ]] use the brackets to all the words i choose, im using this for D&D and it would be super helpful to mass select words of the same and get it done without doing it manually.
Would you recommend Obsidian for writing a novel?
Thanks for the cool video. Starring pages is nothing but a #starred, but of course, cooler, right?
hey, man! Great video! What are you using to record your screen and that small camera at the bottom?
combining in the edit
This guy is like Bob Ross for software tutorials.
This means a lot to me, thank you
@@linkingyourthinking really enjoying your presenting style!
So happy...
Great to hear! I hope you're enjoying these tutorials!
